Hi everyone,
Are there any ancient sources which describe what Alexander's tomb looked like? I think I'm right in saying that the original sarcophagus was a gold one and not a glass one at first, but what about wall-paintings or tomb furniture? I ask because I was looking at some photos of the tombs at Vergina and it occurred to me that perhaps Alexander's tomb was decorated in the Egyptian style since, presumbably local builders/artists in Alexandria would have worked on it.
Then again, maybe Ptolemy imported Greek artists? I suppose it must have been a big project and taken years to complete. Anyone here want to speculate on how it must have looked?Cheers,Kate

Kate,Say you are Ptolemy from Pella, his great friend and his life colleague including same baby-sitter.
Your colleague dies and you know all his secrets
including those given at Siwah where you followed him and lived his naming Pharaoh.
You also know all his wishes, his plans, his thoughts, his treasures, his beleives, his policy,
his knowledges, you are his emotional supporter
for a whole life since He, the God, the Emperor,
the King, your friend, is just a typical Libra.
You aslo play much of the role his Alter Ego Hephaestion played but died a year ago and your friend dies as his prototype Achilleus did not live
long after Patroclos death and God Dionyssos after his Pan loss.
How wood you decorate Kate?
Simpy, because his teacher Aristotelis on behalf of his great teacher Plato and he on behalf of great Socrates says: THERE IS NO QUALITY IN QUANTITY BUT THERE IS QUANTITY IN QUALITY.Kostas
