save the Tito propaganda.

I have actually been to the tomb.

The Credible Scholarship has never deviated. The discovery of the Tomb and the artifacts inside only made the slav claims even more ridiculous.

I suggest you go there, read the writings which are in Greek.

Alexander was never actually burried, his body was seen as a power prize and was lost and/or destroyed in the power vacume left in the collapse of the empire.

I have been to both Pella and Verghina—in fact I was in a group that was shown “Philip’s Tomb” by Andronikos himself. It’s a magnificent tomb, but there’s nothing on the tomb to say whose tomb it is. Obviously it was built for some member of the royal family, sometime in the latter part of the fourth century B.C. The leading proponent of the Arrhidaeus theory (Eugene Borza)is no Tito propagandist but a leading Alexander-scholar who is Romanian-American.
