What happened to Alexander's tomb? (PART II) (2018x44)
Data emisji: Sie 23, 2018
In our previous historical animated documentary on the Tomb of Alexander the Great we discussed why the body and the resting place of the great conqueror were so important. Not only did it spark the war between his Successors - the Diadochi - but the body also played a pivotal role in the rise of Ptolemy and his dynasty in Egypt. In the second part of this documentary, we will talk about the fall of the Ptolemies, how the Roman emperors treated the tomb of Alexander as well as what happened to the tale of Alexander's corpse during the Christian, Muslim, Ottoman and Napoleonic rule of Alexandria. Finally we will highlight the great mystery and theories that surround the body and tomb of Alexander to this day.
