(More customer reviews)The Soma.What is it? It is the name given to Alexander's tomb or Mausoleum.
Were is it, it is a mystery as the mystery of the man itself.
This book narrates the history of the Ptolomaic dynasty what they accomplished and what ruined Alexandria Egypt under their, reign.It further goes to describe the Roman Period, the Ottoman Period the Christian period,and the look for Alexander's Soma.The recent digs in the Oasis of Siwa, to the discovery of the Ptolomaic Alexandria right under the Actual Alexandria only 40 feet under.
HOw through the centuries the Soma appeared and dissappeared from history. Is it still in Alexandria, is it in Memphis,or Siwa? Or is it all together gone? What about the sarcopagus at the Nebi Daniel Mosque,did it containe Alexander's body or not?
This book has been published in 2006, and is incredible the research that the author has done.The latest excavations in the Latin cemiteries in the hope of discovering Alexander.What an astonishing accomplishment this would be, in my opinion better than the King Tut's tomb. Alexander accomplished much more than Tut.I hope that he will soon be found,intact with his glass sarcophagus and his mummified body.
It is a very easy book to read.
5 plus stars.
