Where is his body?
Under the great pyramid of Giza

More so, where the fuck is HIS body?
>>372257
Hidden by Ptolemy after the jealous maniac Aristotle poisoned and killed his star pupil. It was likely in Alexandria. or perhaps silentely interred with Hephastion
Where is Hitlers body?
Where is Napoleon's body?
Oh right, under a giant golden dome in the middle of Paris.
Where is his body?
We could literally spend this entire thread naming people whose burial sites have been lost to history.

It was in Alexandria, Egypt. John of Antioch says that Caracalla looted Alexander's sarcophagus c.215 and it is last heard of in the 8th or 9th centuries AD I believe.
>>372516
Ptolemy IX or X melted his golden sarcophagus down to print emergency coinage. He was lynched soon after by a furious mob.
My guess is that the mummy was moved to Europe somewhere, maybe under Saint Mark's Basilica.
Anyone have any mysteries that would be valuable if actually solved?

Finding Alexander's remain would be immensely significant for Greek national pride, even though Alexander's Greek heritage is not exactly perfect.
It might also allow us to resolve the lingering questions about his death and parentage.
Would any of that change the world? Not significantly.
Finding the remains of Hitler in Argentina would be much more sensational.

Maybe Hitler is alive in Serbia?

maybe your father is alive in baltimore?

Well, considering we don't know how Alexander died, having the corpse would actually be pretty nice to have an autopsia and all that.
The problem is how we prove it's Alexanders tomb.
>>373146
Well if it's Alexander's body inside I think we can safely assume we've found his tomb
>>373151
How would we know that it is Alexander's body?
>>373177
Category 1, visual examination and inspection
a) Examination of the remains by an expert should permit confirmation of sex
and approximate age at the time of death; it should be possible to determine
the original type of preservation of the corpse (Manin’s comment that parts of
the skeleton were stuck to wrappings may be indicative of a decomposed
mummy)
b) Photographs would record appearance, dimensions and any skeletal
marks/scars: Alexander is recorded to have received two wounds that
damaged his skeleton; firstly an arrow wound to the lower leg in the vicinity of
Samarkand; secondly, an arrow which lodged in his breast bone at a Mallian
town in India. These wounds should be visible as healed scars on his ribs or
sternum and on a fibula or tibia.
c) The remains should be catalogued against the photos with weights
d) Facial reconstruction is feasible assuming the skull is intact as is indicated
by Manin (this might be based on photos taken from multiple angles or there
exist safe laser beam systems which can record 3D object in detail)

Category 2, advanced test techniques
a) Radiocarbon (Carbon-14) dating: radioactive carbon generated by cosmic
rays is absorbed by living things at a constant concentration, whlist they are
alive, but decays away at a steady rate, when they die; by measuring the ratio
of radiocarbon to ordinary carbon in an uncontaminated part of the remains, it
is feasible to date the time of death to within 50 years; clearly a date in the
second half of the first century AD would strongly support the identification of
the remains as St Mark; any other date would suggest a forgery
b) strontium tooth-enamel isotopes; certain measurable isotopic ratios in parts
of remains (e.g. tooth-enamel strontium and oxygen isotope ratios) can reveal
in which places or regions or climates the deceased lived his life
c) DNA testing: it may be possible to decipher some of the DNA of the
deceased; this would be a rich source of information on the ethnicity and
place of origin of the deceased; it might even be possible to identify related
individuals alive today. The bones of some of Alexander’s relatives (father or
half-brother and son) have been found at Vergina in Macedonia. Although
they have been cremated, it has occasionally been possible to extract DNA
sequences from cremated remains.
d) X-rays and X-ray tomography: interior and 3-dimensional internal views of
the remains may be acquired
e) spores/pollens etc, perhaps trapped in the wrappings; these may provide
clues on places or regions in which the remains have been stored for long
periods
f) The weave, material and dye of the wrappings may provide important clues

First transferred to Alexandria Egypt then to Constantinople before Arab invasions but that's a secret so don't go around telling people. Hint: he's under a big dome

Pre-633 Arab invasion, the only thing I know of is the Cyrus Cylinder, and we got lucky when we found that.

What happened in Jamestown?
>>380539
That is more of a conspiracy theory than a mystery, there is a clear consenus what happened at Jamestown
>>380539
Sorry, i mixed it with the Jonestown.
>>380641
Jamestown is pretty straightforward too. I mean the details might vary, but but it's like Amelia Eirhardt, there's pretty much one answer.
