Archaeologists have uncovered what could be the grave of Alexander the Great at a site near ancient Amphipolis.
The warrior king – who ruled in the 4th century BC – was thought to be buried in Egypt. But experts have now become excited after they uncovered a marble-faced wall dating from the time.
The structure measures an impressive wall measuring 500 metres long and three metres high, which archaeologists believe could contain a royal grave.
The site near ancient Amphipolis lies 370 miles north of Athens. END QUOTE:
Famous Romans Pompey, Augustus and Julius Caesar are all said to have visited his tomb in Alexandria, with Caligula reportedly swiping the warrior’s breastplate for a souvenir.
Pompey, Augustus and Julius Caesar paying homage I seem to have read stories about that.
As far as Caligula…what a weenier….must be something to the Romans delivering water to the elite via lead pipes.
Anyway hope they start digging and get to the bottom of this. If it is Alexander’s final resting place what a find….IMO
Have archaeologists discovered the grave of Alexander the Great?
