How much treasure is there in Alexander s Mausoleum and how did it disappear?

How much treasure Alexander's treasure is currently unknown, because the mausoleum has been destroyed and disappeared without a trace, and the reason for its disappearance is naturally because of the iteration of the regime, when Alexander's descendants ruled, Alexander's tomb was still a holy place.

When the Arab armies captured Alexandria in 642 AD, they were amazed by the city's glorious history. By the time Napoleon's troops marched in 1798, it had long since declined, but there were still many ruins of ancient buildings. At the beginning of the 19th century, the construction of the harbour began, and some of the old buildings were built as quarries, while others were kept underground.

There are mountains of treasure, all of which have been taken by tomb robbers and later diggers, so they will disappear.

It is said that after Alexander's death, his general Ptolemy transported his body to Egypt and buried it in Alexandria, where he was buried in a magnificent mausoleum. When the Romans occupied Alexandria, Caesar, Augustus, Emperor Caracal and others paid homage to Alexander's mausoleum. But since then, Alexander's mausoleum has mysteriously disappeared from history.

Some archaeologists began the search and excavation of Alexander's tomb on the ruins of the ancient city of Alexandria. According to the custom of the Greeks, the founder of the city became a god after his death and was usually buried in the center of the city, so that his soul would protect the city forever. Therefore, archaeologists believe that Alexander's mausoleum is most likely located in the palace district in the eastern part of Alexandria, at the intersection of two main streets.

Maria Bernard, a professor at the University of Poland, discovered the ancient city of Alexandria on an excavated ancient pottery lamp. Among the buildings on this pattern is a cone-shaped building, which she thinks may be Alexander's mausoleum, since Augustus's mausoleum is a pointed cylindrical building, and this tomb system is likely to be modeled after Alexander's mausoleum.

The Englishman Weiss believed that the early Ptolemaic mausoleum may have been similar to Alexander's mausoleum, but that Alexander's mausoleum should have been more grandiose. He speculated that Alexander's coffin was probably housed in a temple, and that the mausoleum must have contained many precious ornaments, fine works of art, symbols of royal power, statues of kings, and fine **.

During a breakout, Alexander rode Busfarus and led his army to crush the Persian attack. The image is seen in the sarcophagus of his subordinate King Sidon.

Later, archaeologists discovered the tomb of Alexander's father, Philip II, confirming Weiss's suspicions. In the ** of this mausoleum are parked tall marble coffins with heavy gold bottle-like ornaments encrusted with precious stones. The king's bones are surrounded by silver and bronze objects, emblems of royal power, gold quivers, battle helmets, ivory statues of Philip II, his wife Olympiades, and his son Alexander.

This discovery caused a sensation in the archaeological community and is considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century.

However, although archaeologists have made some progress in finding Alexander's tomb, the exact location of Alexander's burial remains unknown.

Julius Caesar, Emperor Augustine, Emperor Caracal and other famous figures in history have visited Alexander's mausoleum, and a golden crown has been added to the statue of Alexander. But in the 3rd century A.D., the matter of the mausoleum was unknown for some reason. In 642 A.D., the Arab armies captured Alexandria, and they were amazed by the glorious history of the city.

By 1798, when Napoleon's army entered Alexandria, it was in decline, with only 6,000 inhabitants and some scholars who followed Napoleon saw the ruins of many ancient buildings.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the construction of a harbour began, and the ruins of old buildings became quarries, many of which were buried deep underground. Alexandria soon became an important center in the Mediterranean, but no trace of history remained. According to ancient Greek custom, the king who founded the city was generally buried in the center of the city after his death.

Therefore, some archaeologists believe that the mausoleum is likely to be located in the palace area in the east of the city. It is also believed that the mausoleum should be at the intersection of two streets. The Englishman Weiss had analyzed and studied the tombs of the Ptolemaic dynasty and believed that these tombs should resemble Alexander's tombs.

He imagined that Alexander's coffin was housed in a magnificent temple surrounded by columns, and that there must have been many strange and wonderful things in the tomb. The tomb may also contain scriptures sent from temples throughout Egypt.

In the 70s of the 20th century, a startling discovery largely confirmed these conjectures. Andronicus, an archaeologist specializing in the history of ancient Macedonia, discovered the tomb of Alexander's father, Philip II. The main hall** is parked with tall marble coffins with heavy gold bottle-like tomb ornaments encrusted with precious stones.

The king's bones are among them, surrounded by jewels, gold, royal symbols, battle helmets, and other objects that shine brightly. Among them are five statues carved in ivory, which are quite beautifully crafted and particularly eye-catching. These five statues are a family of kings:

Philip II himself, his wife, son Alexander, and Philip II's parents. This discovery caused a sensation in the archaeological community and is considered one of the greatest discoveries in archaeology of this century. In addition to the surprise, people can't help but ask:

If the tomb of King Philip II can still be found, can't the tomb of his son be found? But facts are facts after all, and Alexander's mausoleum is indeed mysterious, and there have been no clues. Who can solve the mystery of this mausoleum?

People are patiently waiting. If it is unraveled, it is likely that the cultural and artistic treasures of many ethnic groups at that time will be excavated, as well as a large number of historical materials, which will be a very great contribution to the archaeological field.

He suddenly fell ill with a fever and died ten days later. The mausoleum is in the Mariyut Desert in Egypt. You can only enter it if the sun is shining directly on a sunny day, and it can only be three hours, and you may die inside if you don't get out after the deadline.

Alexander the Great was an ancient Macedonian king, Emperor of the Alexander Empire, a famous military strategist and statesman in the ancient history of the world. He built a vast empire with Babylon as its capital in the vast land spanning Europe and Asia in the west, from Greece and Macedonia in the west to the Indus Valley in the east.

However, the more famous the historical figures, the more difficult it is to find their tombs. This has become a mysterious law that causes headaches for archaeologists. As one of the most powerful historical figures of the time, the location of Alexander the Great's mausoleum has always been a mystery that archaeologists are eager to solve.

According to research, after Alexander's death in Babylon in 323 BC, Ptolemy, one of his friends and generals of the army, transported his body to Egypt in a hearse, and finally buried it in the city of Alexandria, which he planned with his own hands, and established a magnificent cemetery. Later, when the Romans occupied Alexandria, Julius Caesar paid homage to Alexander's Mausoleum and was determined to build on the hero's legacy.

But since then, the story of Alexander's Mausoleum has become silent. When Napoleon's troops occupied the area in 1798, many ancient ruins can still be seen.

By the beginning of the 19th century, the seaport was built and the economy developed, and Alexandria soon became an extremely important center in the Mediterranean.

Now archaeologists have come to the ruins of the ancient city and begun the search and excavation of Alexander's tomb. However, it is strange that it is a mystery that people have been unable to find the mysterious Mausoleum of Alexander after years of hard work on this ancient ruins.
