What lies beyond the third chamber? Archaeologists move further inside Alexander the Great era tomb - but will it collapse? from the Daily Mail [of the UK]
"The tomb is situated in the Amphipolis region of Serres in Greece. Its huge burial site is said to date back between 325 and 300 BC. This means it could have been built during the reign of Alexander the Great. Archaeologists have now entered the third chamber of the tomb. However, it is structurally weak and could collapse if they enter further. It is unknown if anything lies beyond the third chamber. Two sculpted female figures, known as Caryatids, were found last week. It is thought they were intended to guard one of the tomb's entrances. Experts hope it holds the remains of a senior ancient official."
