Manolis Andronikos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manolis Andronikos (Greek: Μανώλης Ανδρόνικος) (23 October 1919 – 30 March 1992) was a Greek archaeologist, professor at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
On 8 November 1977 Manolis Andronikos announced that he had found unopened the tomb of Philip II of Macedon at Vergina in the prefecture of Imathia. The finds from this tomb were later included in the travelling exhibit "The Search for Alexander" displayed at four cities in the United States from 1980 to 1982. While the discovery is of great archeological importance, the identification of the tomb with Philip has been disputed.
