Alexander's body not in Alexandria nor Siwa!

Post by Paralus »

There appears to be a new lead in the search for Alexander's earthly remains. This discovery will surely lead to much speculation and the mounting of many expeditions outside of the "normal" haunts.
Mr Tutungis says he is 99 per cent convinced Mr Batalis told him the truth, because people "have looked everywhere" for Alexander's grave, to no avail.
Forget Greece, forget Persia; forget Alexandria and Siwa. Start looking in Broome.

Wicked men, you sin against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander.

Ha...I read this a few days ago.

Though I'm still rooting for Illinois, U.S.A. (can't remember where i read that one).

What a hoot.
