On Tuesday the Ministry of Culture published an axonometric reconstruction of the enigmatic tomb in Amphipolis, which was designed by architect M. Lefantzis.
The axonometric reconstruction of the tomb illustrates the progress of the archeological efforts. The reconstruction highlights details of the two walled entrances; the exterior which was decorated with two Sphinxes and the interior where the two Caryatids were located.
The archeological efforts continue with the removal of dirt from the tomb’s interior, in an effort to clear a safe path to the next chamber behind the Caryatids. Three painted pieces of marble were recently recovered from tomb’s interior, with the Ministry denying rumors of archeologists finding inscribed signs.
The Ministry of Culture also noted that aside from the archeological work, much care is taken to ensure the static efficiency of the tomb with conservation and support work being carried out.
