Macedonia: A Civilisation Uncovered (1990x1)

: 14, 1990

Far away from Athens, in the northern Greek province of Macedonia, archaeologist Manolis Andronicos has worked for 50 years uncovering a lost city. David Drew tells the story of how in 1977 he unearthed the most spectacular treasure found in Europe this century. It was the burial regalia of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. Now cameras follow Andronicos as he enters other newly discovered burial chambers uncovering a wealth of new treasures which tell of the glories of this lost civilisation.
