Found the tomb of Alexander the Great?
Archaeologists say they may have discovered Alexander the Great's tomb at a place near the ancient Amphipolis, 370 miles north of Athens.
The warrior king - ruler of the 4th century BC - is said to have been buried in Egypt. But now, experts have discovered a marble wall of 500m long and 3m high, dating back to the same time. Experts believe that this ancient artificial soil may contain the king's remains, or at least an important tomb of the Macedonian royal family.
The place was suspected of being the Alexander Dai Emperor's burial place.
Alexander III, also known as Alexander the Great, was a king of Macedonia, a country in northern Greece. He was born in Pella in 356 BC (BC) and taught by Aristotle until he was 16 years old. At 30 he built one of the greatest empires of the ancient world, stretching from the Ionian Sea to the Himalayas.
Alexander connected his father in 336 BC and inherited a powerful kingdom with experienced military forces. Inheriting Greek military tactics, he began a plan to invade with a series of 10-year campaigns. Unbeaten in most battles, he is considered one of the best generals in history. It is believed that Alexander the Great died in Babylon in 323 BC before implementing the Arab invasion plan.
He is considered the founder of 20 cities bearing his name, including Alexandria in ancient Egypt and eastern Greek culture. There are a number of stories about where Alexander the Great was buried after he died suddenly at the age of 32 (assuming that he was poisoned). According to historical records, he was buried in a golden coffin filled with honey. It is thought that his body was taken to Memphis, then moved to Alexandria in Egypt and kept there until the end of ancient times.
