When Alexander the Great died at just 32 years old, he left behind the largest empire the world had ever seen, and no clear heir to rule it. What followed was a period of unprecedented chaos and one of the most audacious heists in human history: the theft of his mummified body. From the golden funeral carriage pulled by 64 mules to the strategic genius of Ptolemy in Egypt, this documentary explores the high-stakes power struggle for Alexander’s remains. We dive deep into the archaeological mystery of his final resting place, investigating whether the world's greatest conqueror still lies hidden beneath the streets of modern Alexandria or if his body was moved in a final, secret act of preservation.
