The discovery of the tomb of King Philip of Macedon, the King of Macedonia and father of Alexander the Great, in Vergina, represents one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the history of the world.
It was November 8, 1977 when archaeologist Dr. Manolis Andronikos, after almost 40 years of excavations in the area, found the priceless treasure — both literally and historically — in the village of Vergina in northern Greece.

“We all expected to see in it the burnt bones of the dead. But what we saw opening it left us breathless, with teary eyes and filled with awe: indeed there were burnt bones in the urn,” Andronikos writes.
“The most unexpected sight was a golden wreath of leaves and acorns that was folded and placed on the bones. I never imagined such an inconceivable picture. I can bring to mind what I told myself: “If your suspicion that the tomb belongs to Philip is true — and the golden urn came to reinforce the truth of this suspicion — you kept in your hands the larnax with his bones.
“It is an unbelievable and terrifying thought that seems totally unreal. I think I have never experienced such excitement in my life, nor will I ever experience again,” the noted archaeologist recalled with emotion.
