Alexander's Tomb

The location of the tomb of Alexander the Great has been lost to time. Alexander was entombed in Alexandria, and his tomb was subsequently visited by many pilgrims throughout history, including Caesar. Many of the Roman emperors who visited his tomb left with souvenirs, effectively looting the monument. His tomb was well visited up until the 1500s, when its location was suddenly forgotten.
