YEREVAN, MAY 26, ARMENPRESS. Greek archaeologists say they have discovered the tomb of ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. After years of excavations at the ancient site of Stagira, located in central Macedonia, near the eastern coast of the Chalkidiki peninsula, archaeologists are almost certain the domed building and altar unearthed in 1996 belong to the great philosopher.

During the ‘Aristotle: 2,400 years” conference, Greek archaeologist Kostas Sismanidis said all the indications, from the location of the tomb, the period it was erected, its public character are conclusive that it is indeed Aristotle’s tomb.
