Greeks captivated by Alexander-era tomb



The discovery of an enormous tomb in northern Greece, dating to the time of Alexander the Great of Macedonia, has enthused Greeks, distracting them from a dire economic crisis. Who, they are asking, is buried within. In early August, a team of Greek archaeologists led by Katerina Peristeri unearthed what officials say is the largest burial site ever to be discovered in the country. The mound is in ancient Amphipolis, a major city of the Macedonian kingdom, 100km (62 miles) east of Thessaloniki, Greece's second city. BBC; Sept 21.

Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, accompanied by his wife Georgia and Culture Minister Konstantinos Tasoulas, visited the excavation site of Ancient Amphipolis, in Serres, northern Greece on Tuesday morning (Aug.12). Samaras visited the Casta tomb and was guided through the excavation site by the archaeologist in charge Katerina Peristeri who briefed him on the discoveries.  Aug 13,2014 [1]






The July 26, 2014 New Moon [3le52] occurred in the Egyptian Scarabaeus, commonly called Cancer the Crab today and was placed in the 4th house. The fourth house is also the end of life, the grave, and the final resting-place. It, like Cancer, is the “womb and the tomb.” [2]






The Greek Prime Minister visited the site just two days after the Full Moon of August 10. A chart for the Full Moon has Neptune [6pi41] on the Ascendant [3pi] which is conjunct stars that were part of the Chinese asterism Wei. This asterism presided over tombs and graves [3]

Two days after  Oct. 6, 2012, the date of the first news of the discovery [4], there was a Last Quarter Moon. Both the luminaries were in hard aspect to Neptune [1pi] conjunct the fourth cusp [2pi] and the stars of the Chinese asterism Wei – the tomb.
