I agree, he had his eyes on China when he died. He had his enemies.
-
I hope you won't be disappointed but ... No, Alexander, I will not tell what was written on the scroll by your priest. That ritual will be as you have requested, private.
-
Probably nothing since this is a fictitious story. But if they do find his tomb, I doubt they will find any scrolls. There has been a lot written about Alexander and his conquests
-
No, they have decided to leave Alexander to his rest. I have always wonder what do archeologists think they will find in a tomb, except remains of the one who lies there. I can understand them exploring old cities, but a tomb?

He was a young man and as most successful people he had his enemies. If they ever find his tomb, I'll be surprise at what they find.

Several months later, we met with Mostafa in Cairo. He had opened the urns that we found in the temple. He also had deciphered the scroll we found next to the skeleton which I had placed in a coffin. Sitting in Mostafa’s office, “Howard, Mahmoud, in each urn was a scroll, three golden coins, and tissue that we have identified as the organs which were removed before the body was treated according to the procedures for mummification. I have a list of the names of the boys. Their duties were

They have the scrolls from the urns to decipher. Except for the gold and the figures there isn't any reason to keep it open. Howard, Mahmoud and Mostafa decided to let Alexander Rest In Peace.
-
I know that people looked for his tomb in Greece. History has recorded that Ptolemy had stolen his body when it was being carried to Greece.
-
Howard will see that Mahmoud is recognized for his contribution.

I agree, the public wouldn't be interested. After doing some simple research, I would like to read more,

I have a question for you, are you a batman devotee? The death of Alexander has been a mystery. Was he poisoned or not?
-
you are a dedicated reader. Alexander was 33 years old of which he accomplished it all in 13 years

The tomb has mysteries

It took us several minutes looking at the sight before us. Directly in the center was a raised platform and in the middle of the platform was a golden chair. Facing the door, on the right side of the chair, was the figure of Zeus, with an eagle on his right and a rod in his left hand. On the left side of the chair was the Egyptian representation of Amun. A figure of an Egyptian Ram was one of the representations of Amun. Between the front legs of the Ram was a figure of a man holding an ankh in

I ran to Mahmoud’s tent, “It’s Alexander in that temple.” Then I ran to Mostafa’s tent and told him the same thing. “Are you sure?” “Yes, Ptolemy supposedly stole the body of Alexander when they were moving him to Macedonia. We have never found his tomb in Greece because it is here in Egypt. When Alexander was in Egypt, the people regarded him as a god. That is why we are finding Zeus and Amun on the pediment.” “If you are right, then his name should be on the frieze.” We for

Yes, it will be like opening of a present not knowing who sent it
-
Now you want me to spoil the surprise. Take a guess knowing Ptolemy was involved since his coins where found there

In the still of the night, the mind wanders. I wonder how much we miss as our mind searches the night. I'm sure you have awoken with a new thought or revelation you hadn't thought about. Howard is on to something
-
Yes, the door is ready to open,. what is there
-
It is strange what we dream. I dream stories the I have written. The problem is remembering what I dream.
-
I thought I got up early, but when I approached the temple, Mahmoud was sitting on the wall drinking a cup of tea. “Did you bring a cup for me?” He must have been lost in thought. He jumped and spilled his tea. “You scared me.” “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you were so deep in thought. I’ll go and refill your cup. Have you had anything to eat?” “Not yet. I was going to have breakfast after I finished my tea. I had to see the temple first. Sitting here, thinking
