New claims: The sculptures are Klodones and the Tomb belongs to Olympias

British Egyptologist, Andrew Chugg told to Discovery News:

"These female sculptures may specifically be Klodones, priestesses of Dionysus with whom Olympias, Alexander the Great's mother, consorted. This is because the baskets they wear on their heads are sacred to Dionysus."

Chugg considers Olympias as the person most likely buried in the magnificent tomb.
