What happened to Alexander's tomb? 

Great looking t-shirts but why no V-neck shirts?

I have already seen the video of epic history and that was the reason I subscribed to him. Also I found your video incredibly entertaining and I can easily say that I love the video . :-) Are more videos on ancient Greek history coming ?

Hi there ! I'd just like to point out a minor mistake : in 1798 Napoleon was no Emperor he was just still a general. He'd be crowned in 1804 ;) (great video by the way)

Have you heard of the Artillery only challenge? If so, since you probably know hoi4 you should try it.

Well, no one knows the release date. :-)

Yep, action one-liners.

I get a kick out of recorded examples of Roman arrogance. It’s very entertaining for some reason. I wouldn’t tolerate it from anyone else.

Diagenes would've replied 'in death they're just corpses, what does that make you upon your death, Emperor?'

Mr3344555 how do you know that’s what he would have replied? Did you just imagine that’s what he would say?

NEVIN The meeting was probably recorded and written about since.

He kinda was. :-)

You should know better.

Why don't you tell us where you are?

Michael Ball I’ve got to hide, I dont want to get taken away again with all that rocking and stuff.

Yeah, he was pretty great

Well, don't forget that he just toppled the Ptolemies, so he needed to diss them. :-)

Kings and Generals Plus, it doesn’t help that Cleopatra basically insulted him by trying to claim her son as a true heir to Caesar and seduced Antony to her cause. It wouldn’t surprise me if he took the opportunity to tear away at her family’s legacy and reputation in turn because there was none left to fight him on it.

@Nordic Tyr smart strategy though. Get the country on ur side and hyped. Also defeat an army

What if Cesarion was really Caesar's son? Well, they did it plenty of times during his stay in Alexandria and his Nile River pleasure trip. Heck, also doing it on their meeting, just to curry favor. Mark Anthony also had children with her, that is also true.

Good one

Well, in 2340 years there have been quite a lot of wars

@@michaelmoore4043 This was great lol

@@LordGabriel427 😂

Exactly. By the end of the Roman times it was probably so mangled that it was indistinguishable from a skeletal corpse. Most likely at the end people also started stealing the bones as relics or just souvenirs.

Yeah, that is a possibility.

@@KingsandGenerals I'd say it's not just a possibility but highly probable. Why would the Christians have taken any steps to preserve his remains?

Dutchland - in the grand scheme of things, embalmed or not, we are all mummified nobodies.

chuckschilling - Crypto-pagans masquerading as Christians to save their skins?...

@@chuckschillingvideos because Alexander is many things, in addition to being a pagan

Yep, the irony...

@@KingsandGenerals Why the irony? Because he was pagan?

Kings and Generals legend says that sailor merchants stole the remains (saved them in the venetian version) from Alexandria by putting pork over the remains so that muslim officials would not touch further. Later, on their way back to Venice a storm struck them and they used the remains and stuck them in the mast ending with the storm. And happily returning and putting them safe in their actual location.

slapnut1207 oh yeah, I think it's my bad, wrong choice of words, I first thought of 'worship' because in Spanish it is the closest I could remember to refer to Saints' acts after Jesus' death, my apologies.

@@marcisorena9358 Do Christians worship Jesus?

Yeah, surprisingly, it was one of the fruitless military campaigns, that enriched the science.

Fruitless? The French held on to Egypt until 1801, and the campaign utlimately led to Egypt emerging as a State. Napoleon's sending a team of surveyors on one of several public works programmes also directly inspired Ferdinand De Lesseps, whose Suez Canal was carried out and completed thanks to Napoleon III throughout the project, Saïd Pacha at its outset, and inaugurated by Empress Eugénie in 1869. -> www.napoleon.org/en/history-of-the-two-empires/articles/the-digging-of-the-suez-isthmus/ As for scienceS (plural), we are of course, in agreement -> DESCRIPTION DE L’ÉGYPTE (Presentation in French, English and Arabic) 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 ru-vid.com/group/PL9E47419E605E111E 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

Dimes On His Eyes fun fact: watermelons are berries

Kings and Generals You made a blatant mistake in your video - Napoleon Bonaparte wasn’t the Emperor of France during his Egyptian campaign.

David Chicoine i know of a homeless God-man some 2000 years ago who in just 3 years and only 12 disciples rose from the dead fulfilling prophecies centuries before him and changing and still changing the world today..

Reality often is. :-)

Alexander was from Venus and used particle beams to beat the Persians. This is confirmed.

"Alexander body is kidnap by A L I E N S !" [Giorgio A Tsukaolos]

Oh how low History Channel has fallen.

In the past,History channel is about Egypt,Gothic and Rome.Now it was Shitty channel

I tend to agree. Spectacular mix of a tactician, strategist and warrior.

Wulfhart Ice-Bear you forgot about this one particular fella that goes by the name “Genghis Khan”

But Genghis Khan isn't remembered to have charged into the melee at the head of his cavalry several times.

Flyboy_510 Genghis Khan is the only one that can come close to Alexander imo, and even tho I think he was a great general as well, Alexander is above him by far. Alexander was very young when he started his campaing. He always fought in the front line with his troops. Alexander's army is technologically superior compared to Genghis even tho Alexander lived like 1500 years before Genghis. Alexander was in fact the first conqueror to ever build and Empire, a real Empire, and one of the strongest I might add. As Kings and Generals said, he was a amazing mix of tactician, strategist and warrior.

Wulfhart Ice-Bear yes but don’t underestimate genghis khan, genghis khan had a much larger empire then Alexander ever did. Thanks to genghis khan we have the paper currency. Genghis khan always kept revolving his army just like Alexander did. There’s a lot more to Genghis look him up.

Great presentations by Kings and Generals one can never be oversaturated by quality content.

yep correct notice

Great insight. I think Alex would win, cuz Phyrus himself was very close to defeating Romas.

If Alexander would personally lead cavalry charges against the enemy he would probably get killed. Plus the Romans would outnumber him in men alone.

Alexander would win battle after battle I guess but I don't think rome would be crushed by a decisive battle or two. Hannibal did a number on rome, three times to be exact lmao and rome did not crumble, thanks to its never ending stream of manpower.

Some people seem to forgot that at the Time the Macedonian army was so much bigger as the Roman. Maybe it later years when Rome rose into power that could challenge Alexander.

Good question. Ima think about it all day now.

FreedomFighter08 Fun Fact for you Alexander lost and ran from India..He NEVER conquered India..may be he did that in one of his Fanboy's dream but not in reality...Alexander and his Men were butchered...Alexander then retreated & Died at Babylonia..Indians are not Persians..and Alexander wasnt Invincible...one more thing here Selucus Nicator was defeated by Samudra Gupta and He gave his daughter Helen in marriage to Samudra Gupta after sound thrashing..never forget that.. and Greeks dont have anything to brag about other than Alexander...coz after him Greek history is full of greek defeats by Romans,Byzantines and Ottoman turks..Greeks were slaves of others for CENTURIES..

panos katrinakhs Brother, The problem is that its Greeks who claim to have won in India...so the source should be provided by those who claim something..what are the sources which claim Alexander's victory over Indians...I wanna know...I want to clear my confusion.. Secondly Robin Lane Fox, a world renowned Alexander's Biographer never mentioned any war with Indians..He says in his book Seige of Aronos is the climactic battle of Alexander...now if you do wiki search on Alexander's seige of Aronos then you will know what I am talking about

panos katrinakhs Aronos region is not even in India...Robin Lane Fox was hired for making Alexander movie which Greeks love so much.. Search About Tribes that settled in modern day Greece you will find tribes Called as Yonani, Dorians, Cretans, Dardanians etc.. Modern day "Greeks" are mixture of those tribes...Persian inscriptions use the word YONA for greeks..Now let me surprise you...Yona(Yonani) tribe actually used to live around modern day east afghanistan region...and many of these Yonani ppl migrated to modern day costal Turkey region and from there they migrated to Modern Greece..Yes that makes ancient Afghanistanis ancestors of Greeks...wannna debate..

panos katrinakhs Another thing me just saying that Greeks were slaves for Centuries is not Racist thing to say..Ottoman Turks directly ruled almost all over modern day Greece..and yeah they also enforced Jizya on you..Greece,Serbia,Bulgaria, Romania etc were vassals of Ottoman turks for centuries..saying that is not racist..but claiming in your baised movies that Greeks won anything in India is absurd and false bravery..the whole Alexander's invasion of India seems to have been invented out of thin air..

They need to make another proper film for Caesar, with Latin being spoken. If anyone would direct it, it'd be Mel Gibson. He's amazing at capturing the time period and styles of his movies.

@@SoulEternalPeaceWarrior77 lol anybody but mel Gibson should direct it he'll just over romanticize Caesar

@@shreyasp5934 Caesar was an enigmatic man of contradictions & contrasts- but I think that with 'We were Soldiers' & 'Hacksaw Ridge' under his belt in recent years- he _could_ tackle a Caesar biopic with a bit more nuance than what Hollow-Wood is currently capable of churning out...

That would be the religious plot twist of the century, as it would mean many generations of Christians went to Venice to pay their respects to him, unwittingly acting much like the pagan pilgrims to Alexandria.

Do we have any idea of what Alexanders DNA would be like tho?

ColasTeam I imagine there’s a tomb for the royal family of Macedonia somewhere. Or if not, a DNA test should at least reveal if the ethnicity is Hellenic at least. Also, a carbon test should determine roughly the age of the body. I’m not an expert so I’m probably wrong somewhere.

I'd bet there is written proof of a lot of things like this in the Vatican library. If that archive were made public it would change the worldview on much of this era in history.

Archaeologist can try to radiocarbon date his mummy or even better do a DNA test.

Gay

Same. It's a loop.

Same

same bro

(Gengis Khan) Chingis Khan Is more better than Alexander And both were Polytheists

That is a good perspective!

We know that the Tomb is in Siwa Egypt. Now we just can hope to open the last chamber soon enough and find his body, before the whole room submerges in the underground waters, which rise by time.

@@bagiee1 well 3 years after your comment i belive its in siwa and we are close enough to find his tomb or remains and put a closure to his lost tomb.

@@marwenklai8458 Why you say that?... you know anything new about any excavations? The excavations have stopped there, from what i know.

@@bagiee1 no excavations have never stopped ,egyptolgists are looking for it , anyway there is an official source in the anitquity ministry in egypt that they found a temple in siwa Oasis dates back to greek roman Era, this is the current leaks until full report is made of the discovery and we will know for sure soon

Zdenic Shepherdess Gods don't exist so I don't think Alexander is the son of Zeus.

@Zdenic Shepherdess Are you serious?

If "St Mark" is so venerated, I doubt that they'd allow a DNA test that might shatter their illusion. Shame.

Yes they did...they found it in the 70s it's confirmed.

Because, we are shitty.

Because the real History is not to be found.

Mike Onega Trully how cool it would be if all of them were still standing today and we could visit them. I'm currently living in a modern "tomb" as my city was built over the same city (Byzantine style) which was built over the same city (ancient style). It's kinda sad that there is so much history underneath us covered by concrete foundation.

Coz its precious

Ptolemaios, you slick bastard.

That's just an urban myth, no evidence whatsoever.

Well, would be weird if he put Alexander's body in an already used sarcophagus. HAHA!

@@NorceCodine thats not a myth: the sarcophagus of nectanebo was found by napoleon in alexandria, while the tomb was found in memphis. How could it had moved, without a good reason? It explains why Ptolemy said alexander was son of nectanebo 2 in fact.

@@pierren___ There were literally dozens of New Kingdom sarcophagi found in Alexandria, the Greeks loved to collect Egyptian artefacts from all over in Egypt. The open tombs in the Valley of the Kings are full of Greek graffitto.

Didn't know Napoleon was just a general at that time. Many thanks!

My mistake.

And it was General Bonaparte, we call him Napoléon once he became Emperor. Vive l'Empereur !

@@Salentu03 Yeah, the man who left France with a generation of men dead all over Europe and his country on it's knees. He failed in Egypt, Haiti, Spain, and Russia. But what a great man!

I think dating showed the corpse was from around 64 AD but I might be confusing it with Peter. Then again, the story of the Venetian smugglers says they smuggled bones, not a mummified corpse, so unless the mummification of Alexander was less reliable than that of native pharaohs it's probably not Alexanders' body on Venice.

I don't think the Venetian government or Catholic Church would permit that.

@@12345678900987659101 the Venetian government doesnt really have a say and the Catholic Church alredy allowed C14 tests on other holy relics like the Shroud of Turin (turns out it wasn't a hoax, the first test had checked a patch added in the middle ages) and St. Peter's bones.

Mateo source?

@S. Kosma That would be impossible,since,if returned,Alexander's body would've been buried next to his father and the rest of the Macedonian Kings. You know very well that Aiges has been dug up through and through and no sign of a majestic and rich tomb has been found. They do theorise,however, that parts of his armor,used by him-prior to crossing Hellespont-has been buried along with someone of his kin.Not sure if son or little brother.

FoxMikage he would never allow to be disrespected by the Jews like that or the romans

First of all, Alexandros was 32 at the times of his death. Second of all, we barely have any historical evidence of Jesus existing, let alone contemporary. His age at death at 33 is purely Christian tradition, not historical. It's pretty hard to give a year of birth given the forged nativity story, but even the latests hypotheses are 3 BC.

Alexander by his own wish, was to be buried at the Sacred site of Amun-Ra in Siwa Egypt... and guess what!! The Tomb was found in Oasis Siwa by a Greek woman Archaeologist in 1989. The body of Alexander was taken there by Ptolemaios, who was Alexander's General, and one of his closest friends.

You are right, Constantine had managed to gain recognition as emperor of a united empire in 324, it had been divided into East & West prior to this, on-and-off, and would soon be again. But in 330 it was one.

yep true, the split under Theodosius is right. However this video was more referring to the split of east and west between Licinius and Constantine and of Diocletian beforehand. But yes granted in 330, the Empire was reunited by Constantine following his victory vs Licinius. We made a slight error, thank you for pointing it out.

@@Morz44 I didn't go wrong! See Edward Gibbon's "History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire". He quoted original documents.
