Alexander Sarcophagus مقبره تابوت سنگی اسکندر مقدونی 

The so-called 'Alexander' Sarcophagus, once thought to be the sarcophagus of Alexander the Great, now reveals to us how the different cultures of Greece, Macedon and Persia may have interacted.
The so-called ‘Alexander’ Sarcophagus was discovered in the late 19th century in the Royal Necropolis at Sidon and is currently housed in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum. The sarcophagus, which is detailed in high relief marble sculpture, depicts two hunting scenes and two battle scenes, each motif represented on a long and short side. The scenes are well preserved and richly decorated, with the prominent figures associated with Alexander III of Macedon (356 - 323BCE) who subdued the kingdom of Sidon during the early years of his campaign against the Persian Empire. Due to the ornate and detailed friezes that depict distinctly heroic and royal motifs, upon its discovery the sarcophagus was mistakenly presumed to be the intended resting place of Alexander the Great himself. However, this was quickly rejected by scholars of the age as there is no tangible record to suggest that Alexander’s resting place would have been in Sidon.
