HUIZHOU, China, June 22 (Xinhua) -- Defending champion Serbia, USA and Greece kept winning streak after their second group matches at the FINA Men's Water Polo World League Super Final here on Wednesday as Serbia and Greece enjoyed comfortable victories while USA edged Brazil 10-7 and Australia beat Japan 13-7.

"Serbia is one of the best teams in the world. Their experience, swimming speed and personal techniques are much better than us. Since we are a mixed local team with veteran and young players, we had some problems in communication today. We were here for learning," said China's head coach Chen Yaohua.

NICOSIA, March 29 (Xinhua) -- The tomb of a Ptolemy king has been discovered in the complex of a necropolis at Paphos, western Cyprus, a professor of classical history at the University of Cyprus said Wednesday.
"There is no doubt that this is a royal tomb belonging to one of the kings of the Ptolemaic dynasty who succeeded Alexander the Great...This is important because no other burial sites of the Ptolemy kings were found, even in Egypt," Theodoros Mavroyiannis told state radio.
He said an official announcement would be made later in the day at an international conference on Cypriot history at Paphos.
Mavroyiannis said that final evidence which proved the tomb was a royal one was provided by Michalis Lefatzis, an archaeological architect at the Greek ministry of culture who helped in the excavation of the famed Vergina, Greece burial site of King Philippos, father of Alexander the Great.
Mavroyiannis said Lefatzis established that over the tomb there was a temple in the Doric style, a sign of the Ptolemy Dynasty and an honor reserved for kings who were named gods.
He said the tomb was the burial site of boy-king Ptolemy Efpator, who was made a co-king with authority to rule over Cyprus by his father Ptolemy sixth Philomitor.
