The newly released section drawing of the tomb
elements discovered so far at Kasta Hill / Amphipolis is putting the lay-out in a clearer perspective, I
think.
From an article published in the Archaeology
News Network, it seems that the narrow door (96cm wide) in the third
chamber is off-centered and shifts to the left, hence the assumption that this
door is leading to a staircase on a lower level. My personal opinion is that it
may open into a narrow corridor to the next chamber as I don’t see how such a narrow
opening could open into the main chamber.
As to the hole in the upper right corner of the
fourth wall, Mrs. Katerina Peristeri is convinced that those stones were not
manually removed but were probably dislodged by an earthquake. This is the main
reason why she believes that the tomb has not been looted.
