Scientists Scanned 35 Feet Under Alexandria — What They Found Points to Alexander’s LOST Tomb

Scientists Scanned 35 Feet Under Alexandria — What They Found Points to Alexander's LOST Tomb In 30 BC, the emperor Augustus touched Alexander the Great's body in Alexandria, and a piece of its nose broke off. Then, after two centuries of emperors visiting it, the most famous tomb in the ancient world vanished. In this documentary, you'll follow the trail from a golden funeral carriage hijacked on its way to Siwa to the royal burial ground of the Ptolemies, through the tsunami of 365 AD, the drowned harbor of Alexandria and more than 140 failed excavations. You'll see how archaeologists are using electrical resistivity scans 35 feet beneath the modern city, why a marble head of Alexander may not mean what it seems, and why no one can yet say where the king really lies. #AlexanderTheGreat #Alexandria #Archaeology #AncientEgypt #Cleopatra #History
