"The monument shows that this tomb belongs to a very eminent man. Who was more eminent than Alexander? " he asked.He further explained:
"(Alexander the Great's mother) Olympias would never have left the side of the remains of her son. It just reaffirms my belief that my hunch is true," he argued.
"The fact that she did not go to Babylon, where the remains of Alexander were hosted for two years nor attended his transfer from Alexandria to Babylon makes me believe that this woman who ruled Macedonia until 316, may have secretly transferred the relics of her son to Macedonia. "
A few days before making this statement on Alpha Channel, the prominent historian also made the same statements on ANT1 Channel. (VIDEO BELOW)
