Ancient
Grecian Tomb

Period 8
There
recently was a tomb uncovered in Serres, Greece. This tomb is one of the
largest tombs in the region and many archeologists belive that this tomb had a
connection to someone who was very important because of its collasal size and
incredible statues. There are massive statues and arches leading up to the
tomb. Seeing as the tomb was built around 300 BC, many people think that the
tomb may have had some sort of connection to Alexander the Great. There are also
several statues that respmbles those of Egyptian culture, which was one of the
many countries Alexander passed through.
The article is from a british site
called, The Telegraph and was published 6:24PM BST 14 Aug 2014, only 2 days after the tomb was found,
giving it less information than many other articles that publish constantly.
Prior to reading this article, much of my knowledge of the history of Greece
came before Alexander the Great, and was of fictional literature. I had heard
of Alexander the Great, but didn’t have a vast knowledge of him, therefore I wasn’t
able to factor in that history along with information I recived from the
article to conclude whom the tomb might have belonged to. This article was most likely written for English
audiences, seeing as it was written in English, dubbed in English, and made in
England. This article was written to inform audiences on the events occurring relevant
to the tomb. This article is important because it could be a huge
archelogolical find that could change Grecian history.
