One of them belonged to King Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great, and is considered one of the most significant archaeological finds of the 20th century.
What makes them unique is:
- Their unshakable integrity: They had not been plundered, in contrast to almost all other major royal tombs.
- The breathtaking artifacts: Inside, treasures of priceless value were found, such as the Golden Larnax with the "Star of Vergina", the golden ossuaries, the elaborate vessels, and the weapons.
- Their historical significance: They confirmed Aigai's position as the first capital of the Macedonian kingdom and revealed to us the incredibly rich artistic refinement of the Macedonians
