Episode 02 Excerpt Script: “From GREECE’s mountainous northern region known as MACEDONIA came a dynasty of warrior kings. […] Here in 1977, archaeologists made an extraordinary discovery. Deep in a hillside near the small town of Vergina, they unearthed the royal burial site of MACEDON, including the tomb of PHILIP II, father of ALEXANDER THE GREAT. […] Dominating the facade of PHILIP’s tomb is this extraordinary survival – a rare original painting from Ancient GREECE.
