There is a lot of speculation in local media and websites whether the impressive ancient artificial mount located in Amphipolis near Serres -600 km north of Athens – contains the remains of ancient Macedonian warrior king Alexander the Great.

Some Greek media have claimed the tomb unearthed by archaeologists in Amplipolis is the royal tomb of Roxane, the wife and son of 4th century BC king Alexander the Great. Some other speculate that the tomb may be of Alexander the Great himself.
