[00:00:00]Greek tomb held mystery skeletons 2,300 years. They're Alexander's family. Tomb two at Vergina, Greece, sealed 316 BCE, looted by time, but the bones survived.

No one could prove it. Then DNA testing arrived in 2024. The male skeleton is Philip II, Alexander the Great's father, the king who unified Greece and built the army Alexander used to conquer Persia. The woman beside him is likely Cleopatra Eurydice, his seventh wife. We just confirmed the man who made Alexander possible.
