Burial of Alexander's body at Memphis
Hi everyone,According to Diodorus Ptolemy originally buried Alexander's body at Memphis. He says that the tomb was in the traditional Egyptian style. Then Ptolemy II transferred the body to Alexandria to a new tomb. Does anyone know the actual dates for either of these burials? Or want to make an educated guess? I ask a) out of interest and b) because I'm trying to find out when "tourists" began to arrive at the Sema (Soma).Cheers,Kate
