Archaeological Find Of The Century?

[poliphilo]

The Greeks have announced that they've found a huge tomb in Macedonia which if it isn't the tomb of Alexander the Great has to be that of someone who died at around the same time and was at least as important as he was. It has sphinxes, frescoed walls- and they're going to be opening the tomb chamber at the end of this month....

Way way back in the 80's, there was a great big huge heavily advertised TV special . They had discovered the lost vault of Al Capone (I think...) and they were going to open it up on National Television.

There was absolutely nothing in it. Geraldo looked like an ass. It wasn't the first time....

Awww.

I remember the dig at Silbury Hill- which was televised back in the 80s (I think). They found nothing either- apart from lots of chalk.

Good mention. That was quite a letdown at the time...
