- The tomb contains the cremated remains of a woman and a rare box mirror
- Experts say she was a high-class escort during Alexander the Great's campaigns
Gotta be pretty cool for one to go to their grave being called BobL-the-Great, in my case, for example.
Days of the Fertile Crescent.
She could be VP if alive today
So, is she available?
in those days the unenlightened heathens categorized only two genders, not recognizing lgbtqwrez, or even etc
Wow.
History being confirmed in a fuller context.
Interestingly, I can’t recall learning about Palestinian archeological digs and found artifacts...
Clone her so we can evaluate the result.
If the remains were cremated, how do they know she’s a woman?
tangential but maybe of interest to some here (I assume you are familiar with it already SunkenCiv)
this reminds me of the proposed identity of the relics in st mark’s cathedral in venice as macedonian and specifically possibly alexander. there are artifacts in st marks found with the relics in modern times that are explicitly macedonian. it is a fascinating rabbit hole.
notable that the main researcher says that even his theory ir right, there is only a 25%? chance the body would actually be alexanders as there were several points in alexandria where the body might have needed replacing (flood was one), and the relics were LOST for decades in venice pending construction as well.
That might be the remains of the Courtesan, or it might be the remains belonging to one of her Slave Girls. She chose the one who resembled her, in ALL her proportions.
If the remains were cremated, how do they know it was a ‘she’?................It was ancient Greece after all................😉
