so,the archeologist said,there is no other chamber after the third..maube we talk about an underground temble and not a tomb??

It's a family tomb or mausoleum dedicated to a renown official such as Alexander the Great, according to the American archaeologist Dorothy King. The excavation team thought there might be a fourth chamber, but after the end of the field work they discovered that there is not a fourth gate.

P.S: According to Dorothy King the unique monogram of Alexander the Great, together with another important epigraph held at the museum of Amphipolis, had been already found on the surrounding wall of the tomb since 2013. However, someone covered it with stucco as if he was trying to hide the evidence.

Dorothy King: Skopje claims are 'ridiculous'

The American archaeologist that lives in London, Dorothy King, in an interview with “Ethnos tis Kyriakis” newspaper, says that Skopje claims are ridiculous.

The American archaeologist that lives in London, Dorothy King, in an interview with “Ethnos tis Kyriakis” newspaper, says that new revelations from the Amphipolis tomb will soon be made and characterizes the Skopje claims as “ridiculous”.

“The Macedonians invaded and conquered Skopje, but Alexander conquered Iran and Afghanistan as well. None of these two other countries ever claimed to be Macedonia,” King says and adds “Amphipolis is in Macedonia, Vergina is in Macedonia and Macedonia is in Greece. To claim the opposite is so ridiculous. It is like saying that Jesus went to America...”

“I have been wondering for a while whether Hephaestion could also have been buried at Amphipolis. The size to me makes people like Nearchos unlikely, and whilst the idea that it was built for Alexander the Great is still the most likely possibility now that most other suggestions have been discarded, the one other possibility has been Hephaestion,” Dorothy King mentions at her blog and reconfirmed at her “Ethnos tis Kyriakis” interview.

Hephaestion died before Alexander, and Alexander ordered his body returned to Macedonia in an elaborate funerary cortege to be buried in a magnificent tomb there. We know that if the tomb had been started, Perdiccas cancelled work on it once Alexander died, she adds.

So that's why I think that if the bones are male, they are most likely to be those of someone like Hephaestion.

Again the importance of the person or people for whom the tomb was built is emphasized by the size "The burial complex on the hill castes was a public project, built using the largest amount used marble ever used in Macedonia," King concludes.
