Hope this hasn't been posted, I did a search but nothing came up.

Two stunning statues have been unearthed holding up the entrance to the biggest ancient tomb ever found in Greece.

The two female figures in long-sleeved tunics were found standing guard at the opening to the mysterious Alexander The Great-era tomb near Amphipolis in the Macedonia region of northern Greece, archaeologists said.

"The left arm of one and the right arm of the other are raised in a symbolic gesture to refuse entry to the tomb," a statement from the Culture Ministry said.

It's an exciting find but I really wish they would let 'old things' rest in peace! I think ancient people buried their people in a special way & they shouldn't be 'disturbed'.
