Recent discovery of large Doric Temple. Archaeologists have been working painstakingly at the site - the philosopher’s birthplace in 384 BC in the Greek region of Macedonia - for 20 years.
The vault, which has a square marble floor dating from Hellenistic times, appears to have been hurriedly constructed with an altar outside. Coins dated to Alexander the Great and ceramics from royal pottery were also found.
See comment below for more.
Note: Is this Greek hilltop the 2,400-year-old burial place of Aristotle?
