Vergina - Tomb of Philip II of Macedon

This is one of those places you have to visit to believe.  Back in the 1980's, archaeologists decided to dig up a tumulus in a rural village in the middle of no where.  Turns out it was the tomb of Philip II of Macedon, Alexander the Great's dad. Alexander built it. The museum is inside the tumulus and most items are close to intact. So you see it how it was left. These are grave markers by the entrance.
