		Because Andronikos originally identified Tomb II as Philip's, and dated all three tombs to the 2nd half of the 4th Century, with Tomb I being the earliest, that left only Amyntas III as a possibility.
		When Andronikos originally catalogued the grave goods, the remains of a 2 meter long gilded rod was discovered among the goods.
		This was identified by Andronikos as the royal scepter.

	THE ERROR OF FACTS CONCERNING THE VERGINA TOMBS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In 274 b.C., when Antigonus Gonatas was King of Macedonia, Pyrrhus, the King of Epirus, invaded Macedonia and arrived at Aeges (Vergina), where he pillaged all royal tombs and scattered the bones of all kings, among which there were those of Philip II and his son's, Philip III Arrhidaeus'.
		It was 23 years ago that Professor Manolis Andronikos discovered three royal tombs at the very same place.
		Professor Andronikos in his book refers to the pillaging of the royal tombs by Pyrrhus, but claims that "it was by mere coincidence that the tomb of King Philip II escaped from being pillaged".

		The Greek archeologist Manolis Andronikos also claims that the ancient Macedonians were Greeks based on the following:
		Indeed, Andronikos does not mention that the Macedonian king Archelaus (413-399 B.C.) carried pro-Hellenic policy some 70 years prior to Philip and Alexander’s times, and even invited the well-known artists from Greece into Pella to beautify the Macedonian court.
		Not only that Andronikos was obviously wrong to conclude that the Macedonians were Greek, but notice how the Greek archeologist does not point that the Macedonians might have been a distinct nation.

		The excavations of Professor Andronikos lasted for a number of years and concluded in 1977, with the discovery of a series of untouched royal tombs, buried under a hill, one of which belongs to Philip II.

		As to the woman in the same tomb [below], it is probably Phila who would have been older than Kleopatra and Eurydike, as indicated by the bones [cf.
		Manolis Andronikos in identifying Tomb II as that of Philip II was led to this by the tomb's Alexandrian-Philippian themes/motifs, besides the great tumulus that covered the tomb, pointing to a very important personality being buried there.
		For now, one can consult Kapetanopoulos (above) about details of Philip's burial, and this would be elaborated upon as circumstances demand/require, with one remark about the woman in the second chamber that probably she could not be Kleopatra, if Olympias did to her and her child what Pausanias reports [Arkadika, vii.7].
