A Greek archaeologist claimed on May 26 to have discovered the tomb of philosopher Aristotle in the ancient city Stageira in Greece.

The archaeologist, Konstantinos Sismanidis, began excavating the birthplace of Aristotle in northern Greece in the 1990s.

Sismanidis revealed his discovery at the “Aristotle 2400 Years” World Congress, which marks the anniversary of the philosopher’s birth.

He says a destroyed structure he discovered may have been the final resting place of the philosopher after his death.
