May I recommend to you "In the Footsteps of Alex. the Great" - an excellent visual journey in DVD format now. It traces his campaigns throughout Africa and Asia...includes the Siwah journey.

According to legend, wasn't Alexander's body supposed to have been buried in Siwa after his death in Persia?

I think some Italian archeologists are looking for his tomb somewhere out there in the desert.

I enjoyed the PBS series "In the Footsteps of Alexander" (when it was on TV) and the companion book. I'm off to check off the link you provided. Thanks for posting.

Signor Miglietti, who covered between 50 and 56 miles a day, kept up his
energy with dates, condensed milk and Parmesan cheese.

I think I've just found the real "trail-mix" diet.

In response to your question about Alexander's burial site, there's a new book out concerning that issue. I saw it at Border's; the author takes you to various sites where it's alleged that Alexander's remains mny be hidden.
