Greek archaeologist Konstantinos Sismanidis says he might have finally found the long-lost tomb in the ancient village of Stagira. Mr Sismanidis has been leading a two-decades-long dig in Northern Greece, and says that Aristotles remains might lie in a structure buried beneath Stagira - the same village where the famed thinker was born. Mr Sismanidis told Sotiris Hatzimanolis he has "no proof, but strong indications, as certain as one can be", that he had found the philosophers resting place.
