Would there be political friction if ATG was found in Africa? What if Andrew Chugg turned out to be right? If ATG was really buried at the Siwa Oasis would there be conflict over rightful possession? If A. Chugg is correct, I'm sure there would be untold conflict, but is it possible that little notice would be given if ATG were found elsewhere.
What if Alexander's body is found?

A friction of sorts is sure to ensue IF and WHEN Alexander's body is found, and because of the immensity of his legend, he could turn up in Antarctica and still people of all political colors will lay claim on him. I have yet to lay a hand on a copy of (any of)Andrew Chugg's book(s), but based on the synopses, summaries, reviews and other notices available online, I rather got the impression that Mr. Chugg thinks Alexander's body, disguised as St. Marks, was smuggled out of Africa when Theodosius outlawed pagan worship, and has since been reinterred in Venice. There is very little conflict about Alexander that remains untold. If Alexander was a kind of noodle dish, you can be sure every attempt has been made to deconstruct every noodle, all with varying success; in fact each noodle twirled and locked and guided up to an open mouth ready to slurp it in more often than not turns out to be connected to more and longer noodle that requires more twirling and locking and....well, you know how metaphors get mixed up and lost around the subject of Alexander.
