Where is Alexander the Great buried now?

Answer 1

Answer:

Alexander the great's tomb has yet to be discovered. Although his father's tomb (Phillip the Second) has been found in Vergina, Greece, Alexander's tomb was thought to be at the Siva Oasis in Egypt. Yet recent excavation projects have not verified this possibility.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The burial place of Alexander is still unknown. There have been theories that he was brought back to Macedonia, but leads have dropped cold on those. The newest theories are that he is buried in Alexandria, Egypt. In an ancient part of the city. However, it's very hard to get any kind of permits for excavation of those areas. Sadly, devastation in Alexandria could have caused Alexanders remains to be in the sea. His burial place is still one of the great mysteries of history.

Answer 3

Alexander the great was not burried!He was putted in a golden coffin first and in aglassed sarcofagus later that everybody could see his body!Everybody in alexandria knew where his mausoleum was.Alexander adored as a god and it was very difficult to get dissapeared!After the prevalence of cristianity as a new religion in alexandria and after the destroies that they made at everything was ancient greek it was very difficult for Alexanders body to be protected and kept in Alexandria!For this reason i think that his body was removed from Alexandria for safety.If his body is still in Alexandria it will be find in the crypt of Nabi Daniels mosgue!Otherwise i thnk that was removed in Memphis in Libyan desert,from his followers or from roman emperor Karakala who admired Alexander and wanted to punish the citizens of Alexandria for their behavior and irony to his face!This is my opinion after along period of research and reading!

Alexander's body was placed in a gold anthropoid sarcophagus, which was in turn placed in a second gold casket and covered with a purple robe. Alexander's coffin was placed, together with his armour, in a gold carriage that had a vaulted roof supported by an Ionic peristyle. The decoration of the carriage was very lavish and is described in great detail by Diodoros. According to one legend, Alexander was preserved in a clay vessel full of honey (which can act as a preservative) and interred in a glass coffin. According to Aelian (Varia Historia 12.64), Ptolemy stole the body and brought it to Alexandria, where it was on display until Late Antiquity. It was here that Ptolemy IX, one of the last successors of Ptolemy I, replaced Alexander's sarcophagus with a glass one, and melted the original down in order to strike emergency gold issues of his coinage. The citizens of Alexandria were outraged at this and soon after, Ptolemy IX was killed. The Roman emperor Caligula was said to have looted the tomb, stealing Alexander's breastplate, and wearing it. Around 200 AD, Emperor Septimius Severus closed Alexander's tomb to the public. His son and successor, Caracalla, was a great admirer of Alexander, and visited the tomb in his own reign. After this, details on the fate of the tomb are sketchy. The so-called "Alexander Sarcophagus," discovered near Sidon and now in the Istanbul Archaeology Museum, is now generally thought to be that of Abdylonymus, whom Hephaestion had appointed as the king of Sidon by Alexander's order. The sarcophagus depicts Alexander and his companions hunting and in battle with the Persians.
