Archaeologists Uncover Ancient Capital of Lyncestis in North Macedonia

Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of an ancient city near Crnobuki in North Macedonia, believed to be Lyncus, the capital of the Kingdom of Lyncestis, which predates the rise of Alexander the Great. Previously thought to be a military outpost, new excavations using advanced technology revealed an extensive acropolis, fortifications, a possible theater, and workshops, along with artifacts such as coins from the era of Alexander and clay theater tickets. Evidence suggests the city was first settled in the Bronze Age, indicating its significance in the early development of western civilization. Experts from North Macedonia and California State Polytechnic University are involved in this ongoing research, which is expected to provide further insights into Macedonian civilization and its role in connecting ancient cultures.
