Greece plans to build the world’s first educational and entertainment theme park dedicated to Alexander the Great, aiming to boost tourism and attract investment to the Northern Greece region.

After 20 years of research, historians in Turkey claim to have discovered the location of the Battle of the Granicus, one of Alexander the Great’s most significant victories. This triumph secured a strategic advantage for the Greek army in its advance into Asia Minor.

Some 240 antiquities and historical items from 27 museums in Greece and abroad and 4 private collections are included in the new exhbition titled "Chaeronea, 2 August 338 BC: A day that changed the world" that opens at the Museum of Cycladic Art (MCA) in Athens on Thursday.
