A recent study has revealed that the ancient Greek tomb discovered in 1977 in Vergina, northern Greece, contains the remains of Philip II of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great, and not his half-brother as previously assumed. The study used scientific and historical evidence to conclusively identify the occupants of the royal tombs, shedding light on the long-standing debate over their identities. The findings provide new insights into the historical significance of the skeletons and the ancient Macedonian royal family.
