Discovery of the Tomb of Philip
“A royal tumulus at Vergina, November 1977. Manolis Andronikos kneels beside the gold larnax of Philip II of Macedon. Foreground shows the famed gold sun-burst lid being lifted under a single bulb; midground reveals frescoes of Philip and Alexander hunting on the chamber walls; the cool dark of the tomb shelters one of the great archaeological finds beneath the Macedonian plain.”
