By the age of 32, Alexander the Great had conquered most of the world which was known to him. 


This episode is not about any of that. This is about what happened after his death. 


After he died, his corpse became a political football, and his tomb became the centerpiece of the city in Egypt which bared his name, and within a century became the largest city on Earth. 


…and then at some point, his body and his tomb just disappeared from history. 


Learn more about the corpse and the tomb of Alexander the Great and what might have happened to it, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
