Over the years, much of the debate about the bones&#039; identity has focused on whether they were cremated dry or with flesh still clinging to them. Philip III Arridaios was ordered executed by one of his father&#039;s wives, Olympias, in the succession wars that followed Alexander the Great&#039;s death. (Olympias was Alexander the Great&#039;s mother.) Eurydice was forced to commit suicide. According to ancient histories, the couple was then buried unceremoniously, only to be exhumed months, or perhaps more than a year, later for a royal burial to shore up legitimacy for the next king. At this royal burial, the bodies would have been cremated. ]]></media:description>                                                            <media:text><![CDATA[Vergina tomb II male remains]]></media:text>
