A virtual museum on Alexander the Great, a project begun in 2000, is near completion, according to archaeologist Angeliki Kottaridou in Thessaloniki.
Kottaridou said that archaeologists were actually travelling to India and Bactria, tracing the Macedonian leader’s path in order to help create the virtual museum, which would be accessible in Greek and English.
Its physical base would be at the Museum of Aegae, in northern Greece, the location of the Macedonian dynasty’s seat.
The project was announced at an event presenting a new series of books by Kathimerini newspaper publishers on world leaders. It will allow visitors to follow any of several paths and will include a virtual library of films, written sources and maps.
