My regards to the donkey lol. The donkey found it. And what an amazing and beautiful find.
Yeah
!
Alexander the Great's body is somewhere in Egypt. I hope one day somebody will find it. The most important discoveries are made by accident. I think this time will be the same.
In 1977 were discovered the Palace and the royal tombs of Macedonian kings in Northern Greece,precisely in VERGINA which is a small village in the region of Macedonia(not related with North Macedonia which is a modern state of course).
The professor of Archeology Manolis Andronikos who discovered the tombs,found also a Golden Larnax 24 carat and 11 kg weight(!!!)embossed with the Vergina sun symbol.
Inside this larnax they found the bones of the dead,a golden armor and many other golden and ivory artifacts.They said that the tomb was Phillip’s,father of Alexander III.
But recently,American historians and the top Greek historian Eleni Glikatzi-Arveler(She was Principal of University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne!)developed the theory that the tomb isn’t Phillip’s,but certainly his son Alexander III the Great!
We have just to wait to be proved.
Who knows?Maybe we are a step before a great discovery.
Greetings from Greece.
Aristos Historian yes its time...Thank you from Virgina USA
do they know yet?
Well I will tell you this. This ain’t Alexander for the simple reason the body of Alexander didn’t reach Macedonian he was meant to go there to the ancient city of Pela where his father Phillip II and other Macedonian kings are. But Ptolemy stole his body from the road of Babylon to Macedonia and brought him to Egypt. So if the body is somewhere it must be on Egypt.
@@adreasarxontakis5954
Really?
Who tell this
SAIFULLAH bosal actually history books tell about that story and how his body reached Egypt and alexandria
No, one of Alexander's generals (who became the king of Egypt) took his body to Egypt as a symbol of power. We know this from the histories.
The malakas Ptolemy
After watching 'MOONKNIGHT',I am also curious.
Same

I hope they find his tomb very soon. He was a great emperor. RIP Alexander
One of the greatest conquerer , but a questionable ruler had he lived on
What's the big deal about that exactly??? his whiteness???
@@adamatlas1113 this is probably the worst take ever and I'm not exaggerating
But not greater than Genghis 😅
@@alitosif992Alexander is greater than Genghis Khan too !!!
After we find Cleopatra's tomb in sure it can lead us to find Alexander's tomb. It has to be hidden somewhere either the Sahara or possibly somewhere further east of Egypt possibly Syria.
Its most likely in Venice
Legend was he was placed in a glass coffin sealed in a tomb of solid gold hidden from raiders and thieves.
Correct
@Hawkeye Airwolf do u know where I can read his words?? Is it written in de bello alexandrino?
Until Pompey took his cloak and Calligula took his breasplate.There are probably no personal items that Alexander was buried with left.

Yes, Borza is perfect & spot on with his quotes below.
"The Macedonians are a newley emergent people in search of a past to help legitimize their precarious present as they attempt to establish their singular identity in a Slavic world dominated historically by Serbs & Bulgarians"

Alexander was in did a Macedonian King. His father Philip III conquered the Greek's city states like Sparta, Athens.... But anyway Alexander wanted to be a world citizen. Read the books guys. A reliable book.... he loved men and women😁 he died too young was only 33 years.
@ktm066
"As for Alexanders family, it is firmly established that he was descended from Heracles through Caranus on his fathers side and from Aeacus through Neoptolemus on his mothers. The story goes that Philip was initiated into the mysteries at Samothrace along with Olympian. She was an orphan and he was still a very young man; he fell in love with her, and on the spur of the moment became betrothed to her after gaining the blessing of her brother Anybbas."
[Plutarch, Alexander 2.1-2]

Who's after the fourth episode of moonknight 😎
Of course Alexander the Great was ethnically Greek .
Alexander and the ancient Macedonians were of
Greek stock, thay came from the same gene pool
as other Greek tribes, they spoke Doric Greek,
they had Greek names, they had a Greek culture,
they considered themselves Greek, and they lived
in the Greek Kingdom of Macedonia which is
todays Greek prefecture of Macedonia.
There is NO CONNECTION with the FYRmacedonia
whose population are ethnic Bulgarian /Serbs who
have a Slavic gene pool
"one of Alexander's generals"
Ptolemy wasn't it?
ya bruh ......🤣🤣🤣
king porus wasn't the king of india but simply of small state in india at that time
Baji Scipio Dārayav Aurelius Julian Venizelos Nalwa yea he wasn’t a king of India but a king of small region belong to India at that time ,He was King Purshottam
What they are talking about is centuries after his death when Roman switch from pegan worship to christianity, people who still worship Alexander may have remove his body to the valley of the golden mummies.
Beautiful , The Lost of The Tomb of Alexander The Great found in Ancient Egyptians in Alexandria I support him very much of my heart God Alexander.
Eugene Borza (specialist about Macedonia): " Modern Slavs, both Bulgarians and Macedonians, cannot establish a link with antiquity, as the Slavs entered the Balkans centuries after the demise of the ancient Macedonian kingdom. Only the most radical Slavic factions-mostly émi-grés in the United States, Canada, and Australia-even attempt to establish a connection to antiquity."
Eugene Borza: " The twentieth-century development of a Macedonian ethnicity, and its recent evolution into independent statehood following the collapse of the Yugoslav state in 1991, has followed a rocky road. In order to survive the vicissitudes of Balkan history and politics, the Macedonians, who have had no history, need one. They reside in a territory once part of a famous ancient kingdom, which has borne the Macedonian name as a region ever since and was called ”Macedonia” for nearly half a century as part of Yugoslavia. And they speak a language now recognized by most linguists outside Bulgaria, Serbia, and Greece as a south Slavic language separate from Slovenian, Serbo-Croatian, and Bulgarian. Their own so-called Macedonian ethnicity had evolved for more than a century, and thus it seemed natural and appropriate for them to call the new nation “Macedonia” and to attempt to provide some cultural references to bolster ethnic survival."
Ulrich Wilcken: “The beginnings of Macedonian history are shrouded in complete darkness. There is a keen controversy on the ethnological problem, whether the Macedonians were Greeks or not. Linguistic science has at its disposal a very limited quantity of Macedonian words, and the archaeological exploration has hardly begun. And yet when we take into account the political conditions, religion and morals of the Macedonians, our conviction is strengthened that they WERE A GREEK RACE AND AKIN TO THE DORIANS.”
Ulrich Wilcken: ” A strong Illyrian and Thracian influence can thus be recognized in Macedonian speech and manners. ‘These however are only TRIFLES compared with the GREEK character of the Macedonian nationality; for example, the names of the true full-blooded Macedonians, especially of the princes and nobles, are purely Greek in their formation and sounds. Above all, the FUNDAMENTAL features of Macedonian political institutions are NOT ONLY GREEK but primitive GREEK’.
Ruchard Stoneman: " “‘In favour of the Greek identity of the Macedonians is what we know of their language: the place-names, names of the months and many of the personal names, especially royal names, which are Greek in roots and form.’ This suggests that they did not merely use Greek as a lingua franca, but spoke it as natives (though with a local accent which turned Philip into Bilip, for example). The Macedonians’ own traditions derived their royal house from one Argeas, son of Macedon, son of Zeus, and asserted that a new dynasty, the Temenids, had its origin in the sixth century from emigrants from Argos in Greece, the first of these kings being Perdiccas. This tradition became a most important part of the cultural identity of Macedon. It enabled Alexander I (d.452) to compete at the Olympic Games (which only true Hellenes were allowed to do); and it was embedded in the policy of Archelaus (d.399) who invited Euripides from Athens to his court, where Euripides wrote not only the Bacchae but also a lost play called Archelaus. (Socrates was also invited, but declined.)”
Robin Lane Fox: “he was still in a world of Greek gods and sacrifices, of Greek plays and Greek language,though the natives might speak Greek with a northern accent which hardened ‘ch’ into ‘g’,’th’ into ‘d’ and pronounced King Philip as Bilip“.
Robin Lane Fox: “To his ancestors (to a Persian’s ancestors) Macedonians were only known as ‘yona takabara’, the ‘Greeks who wear shields on their heads’, an allusion to their broad-brimmed hats”
Robin Lane Fox: “As for the hired Greeks in Persian service, thousands of the dead were to be buried, but the prisoners were bound in fetters and sent to hard labour in Macedonia, ‘because they had fought as Greeks against Greeks, on behalf of barbarians, contrary to the common decrees of the Greek allies’“
Robin Lane Fox: “But Alexander replied that he wished to take revenge on the Persians for invading Greece, for razing Athens and burning her temples.”
That's because so-called modern "macedonians' of today of the F.Y.R.O.M.are simply medieval Bulgarians WHO invaded the Balkans in the 7th century AD and have re-named themselves with the Greek name of "macedonians"
in 1944
Japan Amour fuck of Macedonian have never moved from that area stupid
TheSGamer98 I admire you for trying to educate the illiterate. I am sorry to say that there is no hope.
Stepan Kunevski that’s factually incorrect but keep going
i feel really sorry for all those whos saying hat Alexander was "Roman""Emperor" and i even feel more sorry for those who are wondering why would Alexander be buried in Egypt
That donkey should be given with recognition xD
There are events and mysteries that only God can fathom..Like Moses,his tomb is nowhere to be found until today..Yet Moses and Alexander,they are Great indeed in their own right..
Alexander is at the bottom of Alexandria’s bay. Excavators won’t find him, but divers may.

Macedonia is also Greece.
There was never found a document that proves a Macedonian non Greek language.
All documents are written in Greek.
Macedonians were Dorians.
Alexander's mummy had a glass shielding over the face & chest (I believe) and was not covered by strips...............Julius Caesar talks about it.

Yes, Borza is perfect & spot on with his quotes below.
"If the claim is based on ethnicicity, it is an issue of a different order. Modern Slavs, both Bulgarian & Macedonians, can not establish a link with antiquity, as the Slavs entered the Balkans centuries after the demise of the ancient Macedonian Kingdom. Only the most radical slavic factions - mostly emigres of US, Canada & Australia - even attempt to establish a connection to antiquity"

Considering how much of ancient Alexandria is now underwater I would be willing to bet it is, like so much else, under that same blanket of water off that coast.
Mspionage na it’s in Siwa. It has been found but it’s been blocked from any further excavations due to government intervention
Though north and west Bengal were part of the Magadhan empire southern Bengal thrived and became powerful with her overseas trades. In 326 BCE, with the invasion of Alexander the Great the region again came to prominence. The Greek and Latin historians suggested that Alexander withdrew from India anticipating the valiant counterattack of the mighty Gangaridai empire that was located in the Bengal region. Alexander, after the meeting with his officer, Coenus, was convinced that it was better to return.Diodorus Siculus mentions Gangaridai to be the most powerful empire in India whose king possessed an army of 20,000 horses, 200,000 infantry, 2,000 chariots and 4,000 elephants trained and equipped for war.
It's true that Alexander was Macedonian, but he very much carried on the traditions of his father, Philip. And the Macedonian court of Philip was very much Greek in culture and language. Philip and then Alexander rose in a time when Greek city states were waning, which is how Philip and his son conquered them. Their rule was not iron fisted, however, and till his death Alexander the Great practiced the traditions of a Greek lifestyle.
You do know of course that Macedonians were a greek tribe right?
Since antiquity till this day the Greeks that lived in the area of Macedonia were named Macedonians.
To say "he is Macedonian not Greek" is like "saying Leonidas wasnt Greek he was SPartan"
I completely agree with what you're saying, but we know that the classical Greeks hardly considered Macedonians to be 'greek'. They viewed them as being almost completely backward, barely Greek at all. It was snobbery at its maximum. But Phillip the 2nd and Alexander changed all that.

In the miso soup

Daniel Ward don’t tell me,that your way of thinking 🤔 .. incredible..
Daniel Ward that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. Care to back your claims with any sort of historical evidence
@@danielward2328 have you ever been to Macedonia. More than half speak Albanian lmao. Theyr Greek I'm sorry. Everything is Greek hahah
I like when gypsi Bulgarians descend modern vardaska get obsessed with History and culture of another nation.. keep going Slav boys
Alexander makedonia. Not Alexander the great
Slavs were not even around in Alexander's time. But Egypt does have a claim. Alexander built his city there. However I doubt he would be buried there as he was not from there
Emolol Asdf :A lot like you lot in Athens, refugees from the middle eastern countries aligning themselves with the ancients. Couldn't be any worse. Today's modern day Greeks have one wish and that is to have the biggest mosque in Athens and worship Allah by the mufti's brought in from Syria 🇸🇾 by ISIS. ISLAMIC STATE.
Pilo Lilo I agree the Slavs probably weren't around Alexanders time. But the
Macedonians were and still are and they changed history as we know it. The sad thing is they generalise The Macedonian kingdom and proud history as part of Greece. They probably did contribute but all the blood sweat and tears was done by the Macedonians. End of story.
Yeah allso the Northmacedonians say they are descendants from Alexander Truely they are Slavs ! But they dont believe the truth they believe what is good for them !
Is there any possibility that the last burial place of Alexander is located in Amphipolis?
@ktm066
"Alexanders ancestry went back to Heracles on his fathers side, while through his mother he was related to the Aeacids."
[Diodorus Siculus 17.1.5]
Interesting, but I won't be convinced until they find his body.
Hawass... What a crooked dude!
YEARS AGO ZAHI HAD A SPECIAL ON FOX TV...BEFORE THE SHOW GE SAID HE HAD THE SARCOPHAGUS OF HERCULES...I SENT HIM AN EMAIL STATING IF SO IT BELONGS TO GREECE...NEVER HEARD BACK AND DIDN'T AIR IT ON THE SHOW.
The Historical and archeological evidence is that the
ancient Macedonians were ethnically Greeks, came from
the same gene pool as other Greeks, spoke the Greek
language, worshipped Greek gods, had a Greek culture,
they considered themselves Greek, they had Greek place
names, Greek personal names, and Greek royal names,
they claimed origins from Argos in the Peloponnese, and they
lived in the northern Greek kingdom of Macedonia, which
is today's northern Greek prefecture of Macedonia
They were also participating in the Olympics.
Northern Egypt has a high water table. Body is long gone.
this would be such a great discovery...
Alexandros in greek mean the first of men,alexanders favourite hero was achilles,alexander's teacher was aristotele,alexander was wrutung in greek and believed in greek gods,what else proof u need??? HES NAME WAS ALEXANDROS NOT ALEXANDROVSKY U SLAVS
Dam Sabaton the first of mean what a fuck makes no sense.
The albanian explanation makes more sense,( A Le Xi ander) wich mean he was born like a dream
Dam Sabaton Alexander is weaker than me, I would kill him if I found him

His original name is Aleksandar Makedonski.
Am I the only one who get's a strange feeling, but exciting at the same time, when I watch stuff like this? Thanks NG. :')
Alexanders parents were from macedonian tribes origin bouth, so he is macedonian, but he respected greek states as neighbours, if he knew how modern greece is treating macedonia today he would be merceless
Ancient Macedonian tribes were of dorian descent (i.e. Greek stock), like the Spartans, which explains why they were allowed to participate in the Olympics, used the Greek language in their coins, scriptures, tombs, etc, and had the same gods of Olympus. Alexander would be turning in his grave if he knew that Slavs were trying to claim his lineage.
Go back to school mate . You've got a lot to learn
@@my8osprive ABSOLUTELY VERY FURIOUS
There is a smart and sensible lad who is one of the replies to Mr I speak a lot of shitski from my arseski and that is that the kingdom of Macedon was consisted of Hellenic tribes the most powerful the Dorians.

And one more lad who also said right . Well done to those two lads who have been honest and certainly know their history

Your video lost all credibility when you brought in the thief and liar of Egypt
@Jeremy Kirkpatrick he has been proven to be both a thief and liar mate.
The proof is common knowledge Just look it up
@Jeremy Kirkpatrick he was actually sack from his position for corruption.
He was fired from his position as head of Egyptian antiquity's by the government its self, most of the videos of him with so called new finds are loot's he's committed before hand. He especially has a fancy to treasures with sarcophagi or on mummy's, the most obvious been Nefertiti mummy which has been discovered and he keeps denying even though anyone can see its her! None of her artifacts not one thing was left, I believe he was behind it! He was given to much power.
Great and very interesting video! Give my regards to Dr Zahi Hawass.
If you have a hankering for weird, nationalistic rants by the near illiterate - you can't do any better than a video on Alexander. Quality stuff.
You are not Macedonia's but do Bulgarian pretenders
So movies and stories have it all wrong then, how can Hollywood never have even read history? I cant believe films get so many things wrong.
cool video!!!
Alexander's tomb in Macedonia !!
Few noble it !!
Wernt they taking his body from Babylon back to Macedon on a funeral procession...Ptolemy intervened then redirected to Egypt...possibly Alexandria.
macedonia isn't but WAS greek. it was a greek city state. and by that time there was no greece as an independent kingdom. there were separate city states (sparta, athens....)
you cannot say macedonia wasn't "greek". in fact greece was like a "small" regional civilization
That might be because Doc Zahi Hawass is one of the leading Egyptologists in the world, and he lives there in Egypt also.
I waant to buy his tomb
Go and buy Krishna ghost town of Dwarka
lol does the donkey get any credit for finding that
His body is likely in Venice right now.
Ancient Macedonians were ethnically Greeks,
had a Greek gene pool, spoke the Greek
language, had a Greek culture . Macedonians
considered themselves Greek, nurtured
their Hellenism, had Greek place names,
Greek names of the months, Greek personal

The word (θάλασσα) thalassa which means the sea, is Greek with Pelasgic origin.
Now, who is Pelasgic, the Greeks or the Albanians ?
Our Alexander The Great 🇲🇰
Yay I'm Alexander the great
As long as Alexander is branded self-proclaimed Pharaoh, a cult, a pagan and all the Christian goodies that came after, his body will continue to be well guarded.
Alexanders Body is actually buried in the Tomb of St. Mark...in Italy.
MathPhile - No.
@@dorianphilotheates3769 Its actually one of the most likely places.
Dave T - The «Σώμα» sank into the bay of Alexandria together with the entire royal plaza complex of the Ptolemies. If Alexander is ever to be found (exceedingly doubtful) the search will require divers.
@@dorianphilotheates3769 Tomb of Alexander was located at the main crossroads in central Alexandria. It disappears from the record in 390.
Tomb of St Mark is first referenced in 392. It is located at the main crossroads in Alexandra. (ie the exact location of Alexander's tomb)
Mark died some 300 years before. There is no mention of his body or tomb at any point during that entire period until it pops up at the same time Alexander’s tomb disappears and in the same location that Alexander’s tomb was.
Later the body fromthis tomb is taken from Alexandria and brought to Venice where it is placed in high honour in St mark’s square.
Interestingly Macedonian carvings and imagery have been found in St mark’s tomb. These match exactly the dimensions of the sarcophagus in the British museum which many believe was Alexander’s (declared as such by Napoleon’s men when they found it (minus the body) in central Alexandria)
And also (copied straight from google) “Several tidbits of information hint that the body in Saint Mark's may have initially been mummified. There are no circumstances under which ancient Christians would have followed pagan mummification practices. Therefore, mummification points to a different occupant of Mark's tomb.”
Alexander’s body was mummified. Mark’s was not.
So. To summarize:
From 390 Alexander’s tomb is no longer mentioned while a new tomb, St Mark's tomb, appears at the exact same time and the exact same location.
Body from said tomb moved to Venice.
Body in St Mark’s appears to have been mummified near definitively ruling that the body, whoever it is, is not St Mark. Alexander’s body however was mummified.
Macedonian imagery has been found in St Marks in Venice and exactly matches the dimensions of Nectanebo II’s sarcophagus, which many believe held Alexander’s body in Egypt.
Dave T - I’m aware of the theory; it’s an interesting one and offers some tantalizing parallels, but I’m not persuaded. Thanks for the comment, though - if only it were true...
I read somewhere the Roman Emperor Comedus stole Alexander's armour from the tomb while it was still in Alexandria.
Caligula
Recently it's been discovered a tomb in a ancient city called Pela near the border between Macedonia and Greece.The tomb it's been covered(closed) with enormous stone door.And inside it's assumed it's big over 100mq
What? Hahahahahahaha That is what they teach you, you blind propagandated rats? hahahahahaha. Πελλα or Pela, its a Greek city. In Vergina the tomb was, King Phillips - Φίλιππος (Greek names you see). No Borders. All is Greece. Macedonia is a region of Greece.
i'm not surprised
find now
When You will read the Strabon's story about the Kaligula's visit in Alexandria, you could understood that at the period of the Rome imperia after BC the Alexander Great history and the ancient Greek tradition were'nt important things for the people memories even butween citizens of Alexandria.The golden casced and the crown were taken by the Cleopatra(the Caesar's girlfriend) as the payments for the army..That was the beginnig of the End of the Ptolemaes era.Strabon corectly told the moment of Caligula's presence in the Aleksander's tomb. He broke the nose of the Alexander's mumia and pulled the famous Ring off his finger..After the comeback to the Rome Kaligula was riding the ridvan and showing everyboady the finger....with Alexander's Ring..There's not for a long time the Tombe was distructed for the private bildings.Mumia was disconnected for the souvenirs..Everything is nothing.
After excursions in India & defeating King Porus, ( Alexander the Great also known as The Horned Devil) died in what is modern day Pakistan. So how does Egypt come into the frame ? Most likey explanation is Alexander died of Malaria in Pakistan. Sikandar e Azam.
I'm sure that Alexander the Great ruled Egypt for a short time or else this Alex dude must be another Alexander..
XenoTrance is correct. I don't know how modern Greeks and Macedonians look at it, and I don't care to go there, but prior to the Hellenistic period the Greeks viewed the people of Macedon as provincial and backward, even though the ruling class of Macedon lived Greek lifestyles. After Macedon conquered Greece under Philip, and after Alexander took the throne, it was the Macedonians who brought Greek culture to the eastern Mediterranean world.
hope they find it
Alexandar the great! The Macedonian king!
Zahai Hawass. Stopped there. He is single handedly responsible for setting the science of archeology back 50 years. Good riddance to him.
yep
ok it looks as if I missed a lot. I personal find this to be very interesting. history is something that we should always keep in mind. a lot can be learned form the ancient history.
He is in some rich person's basement.
“Mummiessss”
Lmao!
some greek arhaiologists claim that they have found his tomb but they cant get the green light to start excavations.
Macedonia did not exist before Greece. Macedonia was always a state of Greece.
Like Thessalia, Attica, Ionia, etc.
What are you talking about?
What you call today fake Macedonians, came in the region around the 6th century A.D
If you call yourself Macedonia automatically you call your self Greek.
If you don't want to be called Greek then find another name that suits you better.
I live in NY that does not make me American Native Indian.
Alexander must have been the first macedonian that ever have been to egypt!
Everyone knows that Alexander was a American. He was born in Compton,California.
Lol..much needed comic relief
Interesting
Finally great Alexander tomb found in greece.
Alexandar tomb in MACEDONIA
So if Alexander was Macedonian and not Greek, what does his name mean? What does the name Alexander means? I guess you dont know the meaning because it is a Greek name meaning "He who protects".
ALEXANDER IS THE GREATEST HERO,IN ARABIC WRITTEN THIS WAY (ALESKANDER) WHICH OPENLY MEANS A RARE UNIQUE JEWEL WENT AND SETTLED INSIDE A HUMAN,WHICH IS WHAT ALEXANDER IS ALL ABOUT ,A RARE JEWEL HIMSELF AND HIS GREAT GOOD NOBLE ACTIONS TO EQUALIZE HUMANS,ALEXANDER IS VERY KNOWN TO MUSLIMS HIS NAME IS MENTIONED IN THEIR QURAN
Where Can I find information on the Great Library of Alexandria?
Everyone must know , the first people , who settled in that village , which became the capital of the Roman Empire , were Greeks . But Alexander was not Roman
In 1980s the Field Museum in Chicago had an exhibition of Alexander the Great it was very revealing to his legacy in history
Alexander the Macedonian(great) spoke Macedonian which it is very close to todays Macedonian except the fact that Anicent Macedonians were writing from right to left not like today and many sources say that the 3rd language on the Rosetta's stone is Macedonian
So alexander spoke like you today??tell me this to laugh with my heart please
He claimed zeus was his father not amun
