A group of Greek researchers confirmed that the remains found in the royal tomb of two spaces in Vergina are the father of Alexander the Great, according to Newser.

King Philip II was a powerful military ruler of the 4th century BC, who took control of Greece and the Balkan Peninsula.

The researchers confirmed that the bones and relics were cremated still bearing traces of battles, which took place regularly in the life of the mighty king of Macedonia.

It is known that King Philip II's right eye was named in the siege of Methone in 354 BC. He survived and reigned for another 18 years before being assassinated during his daughter's wedding.
