Hello everyone.<br>
<br>
This is my first time on GAT.<br>
<br>
I was wondering what we know about Alexander's tomb. In the movie "Cleopatra" with Elizabeth Taylor, Alexander's body looks like it is embedded in some kind of see-through material (thick glass ?). I think I read somewhere that he was embalmed in honey. Anyone know any further details ?<br>
<br>
Also, I was wondering what the last known location of his tomb was. I assume it was probably stolen by the Arabs in the seventh century or sometime later .<br>
<br>
Assuming the tomb was accurately portrayed in "Cleopatra", it looks like it weighs a ton and would probably be very difficult to transport. I wonder where it could possibly have been taken to.<br>
<br>
Oh well. At least we have his father's tomb .<br>
<br>
BTW, I just read an article about how close scientists are to finding Genghis Khan's tomb which prompted me<br>
to write this thread.<br>
