The Tomb of Alexander the Great is located in the Siwa Oasis of Egypt because:
- A large above-ground, temple-like Macedonian royal tomb has been uncovered, which can only be for a GOD, HERO, Alexander.
- The tomb itself is also a place of worship, evidenced by the symbols and objects found that relate to the veneration of Alexander. Worship of a non-heroic king is impossible, because Alexander was both a HERO and a god.
- The architectural elements of the building demonstrate its grand scale and the exquisite Greek classical art style.
- The size of the Tomb, which covers five hundred square meters.
- The Macedonian symbol of the Dynasty, the star surrounded by a rhombus, as found in Alexander's Tomb.
- Alexander is buried within a GOLD MINE, where only Alexander could be laid to rest. Inside the tomb, numerous pieces of purple shells (amphorae) were found.
- The life-size statues of lions, found in the Tomb, along with the protective heads, are symbols of regal authority.
- The inscriptions discovered that confirm the Tomb belongs to Alexander.
- The legend and personality of Alexander dominate the customs and traditions of the oasis to this day.
- All findings to date are unique throughout Egypt.
