Manolis Andronikos

From Free net encyclopedia

Manolis Andronikos (Greek: Μανώλης Ανδρόνικος) (23 October, 1919 – 30 March 1992) was a Greek archaeologist.

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.
