Monument Lifted From Alexandria

Post by Theseus »

I found this article and it's not directly linked to Alexander, but it is from the magnificent city he founded and I found it very interesting. This happened very recently- Dec 17th.

Now I'm waiting for divers to find a water tight tomb, where Alexander lies perfectly preserved in his glass sarcophagus, arrayed in his brilliant unblemished Armour, lying on a bed of the lost histories of Cleitarchus, Ptolemy, Aristobolus and Callisthenes. Sigh.....
