It has taken some time to process the loss to our community.
We have lost a member that brought much to our discussion and kept many pushing themselves
into research and reasoning.
Amyntoros, thank you for posting; Alexias, well done.

Sikander

At this particular point, there is still much in the air..and remaining speculation as to who resid...

Re: Greek horses

Re: Another Finding of Alexander's Tomb?
Greetings Amyntoros,
I am not certain but I believe the original report came from a faux news site called World News Daily Report.
I would hope it were never found, but if it were, I am certain the BBC and various archaeology sites would be announcing the news.
