The ancient city can be the lost capital Linkus – a more large place for Alexander the Great’s grandmother, according to a press release.
Just as scientific hypotheses develop continuously, as well as our understanding of history. 15 years ago, researchers began to excavate what they believe were the remains of a military advance, built to preserve from Roman attacks – but their last discoveries were much more excited. The site in Northern Macedonia, known as the archaeological site of Gradeste, can actually be an entire ancient city. And not just every city; He may have a direct connection with the pedigree of Alexander the Great.
Using sophisticated lidars, destroyed by drone and ground, penetrating radar technologies, researchers from the Institute of Macedonia and the Museum-Bitol and the California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt (Kal Polly Hambolt) reveal the mysteries of this once thriving city. The team has announced its discoveries in a University’s press releaseS
“We are just starting to scratch the surface of what we can learn about this period,” Engin Nasuh-Archeologist of the Air Force of an Employee at the National Institute and Museum-Livoli-Poschi in the press release.
Macedonia It was a small, initially insignificant kingdom in Greece. The fight between the main forces in the region – for example, as between the Athenians and the Persians or the Spartans and the Athenians, respectively – facilitated Macedonia (under the heavy hand of King Philip II to bet his claim for power. The kingdom eventually expanded into An AN EmpireMost of all under the son of Philip II, Alexander the Great, but eventually came under Roman control due to internal struggles for power.
According to the announcement, the experts initially met from the city back to the reign of King Philip V (221-179 BC), but later the archeological findings pushed the assessments further behind. A coin cut between 325 and 323 BC, but other artifacts, including fragments of ax and ceramic vessels, made the researchers believe that people could inhabit the area since the Bronze Age (3,300-1 200 BC).
From the structures found in the place is the Macedonian theater and a textile workshop are among the most remarkable. Archaeologists have also found coins, axes and textile tools, games for games, ceramics and even a clay theater ticket at a place, which suggests that the area was a thriving city before the erection of Rome in power, according to Nasuh.
“This discovery is significant,” said Kal Archeology Professor Polly Humbolt Nik Angel in the edition. “It emphasizes the complex networks and energy structures of ancient Macedonia, especially given the location of the city on trade routes to Constantinople.
Experts also suggest that the ancient city could be Linkus, the lost capital of the Lincesis Kingdom – an autonomous kingdom in Upper Macedonia, which was later conquered by Philip IIS The city may have been the birthplace of Alexander the Great’s grandmother, Queen Eurydis I, who played an important role in shaping the political landscape of the region, according to the statement.
“All these studies are only a small part of the studies of early European civilizations,” Nasuh said. “I see it as a big mosaic and our studies are just a few pebbles in this mosaic. With each subsequent study, a new pebble is placed until one day we get the whole picture.”
