What’s the most convincing theory you’ve come across about Alexander the Great’s tomb?

I’ve been digging into this topic for a long time and I keep coming back to the idea that it may not be “lost” at all  just misidentified or deliberately hidden.

Some ancient sources don’t quite align, and when you look at it from a strategic point of view, certain things start to feel off.

Curious to hear what others think.

Historical research meets military strategy: My theory on Alexander the Great’s lost tomb.

I’ve been digging into different theories about Alexander the Great’s tomb, and something keeps bothering me:

What if it was never truly “lost”, just misidentified or deliberately hidden in plain sight?

There are ancient accounts that don’t fully line up, and some modern interpretations seem to ignore key strategic factors about how such a burial would have been handled.

I’m curious: what theories have you come across that don’t get enough attention?

I actually explored this idea further and ended up writing a short historical mystery around it "Adilos Tafos The Unmarked Tomb of Alexander the Great". I made it free until Sunday, April 12, 2026, 11:59 PM PDT because I’d really like to hear what people who are into history think.
