Exactly :wink: Imagine what this discoverment could cause in society... :shock:

Hail

When found then all the new books can begin to be written. I hope and wait so my poison theory can be proved. Ill never believe such a strong warrior died of an unexplained mystery illnes.

Sony Listo got KOd by Cassius Clay using a phantom punch. In reality a punch never landed :shock:

Hi Beatriki,

You might like to note that my book does also include a new theory of where Alexander's tomb was in Alexandria. It also suggests (p275) just where in the city an excavation could be undertaken to confirm this theory. This aspect of my research has generally received less attention, because it is complicated and the media likes to deal in headlines. However this part of my research has also been published in an academic article in AJAH for aficionados.

Best wishes,

Andrew
