Article III on the same topic. Hephaestion is referred to as (just) Alexander’s bestie (feeling slightly indignant for the man who was one of the top generals of Alexander) - https://www.iflscience.com/tomb-of-heph ... tice-79367

Hm. I've only looked at the first article so far, and I kind of doubt that Stellarium is a good enough piece of software to work out what the sky looked like 2,350 years ago, the premise being that the tomb was aligned with the winter solstice. Stellarium is a great piece of free software and I have it to identify stars in the sky, but I doubt that it was designed to be accurate and account for the changes in star positions over thousands of years ago. I think you would need a really high-end piece of software.

On to look at the rest of the articles.
