Pothos Review of Book
Tantalus wrote as follows on 6/6/2007 about The Lost Tomb of Alexander the Great on the Pothos Forum at http://www.pothos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3081
“If you want
answers to your questions you really should read Andrew's book first. I think
you would enjoy it.
As for Alexander being
in St. Mark's tomb, that is not really what his book is about. It is only in the
last few pages of the book that he mentions the subject. And even then he only
proposes it as something to consider. And he gives his reasons for doing so.
The majority of the
book is the story of Alexander's Tomb through the centuries. It starts with
Alexander's death and the establishment of the tomb. It continues
chronologically through the years and centuries listing the Tomb's appearance in
historical sources. Along the way Andrew fills in the gaps with perceptive
insights and logical conclusions.
One thing I especially
like about the book is that it is packed with history, not just about the Tomb,
but also of Alexandria and related historical events. And there are many
wonderful and well-chosen illustrations and maps throughout the book.
I found his book to be
thoroughly researched and enlightening. In fact, it is the most interesting and
enjoyable Alexander related book that I have read in a long time.
Do I think Alexander
is in St. Mark's Tomb? I find the idea very intriguing and exciting. I think
it's definitely worth consideration and further study. And I wouldn't be
surprised if he is there.”
