The Tomb Of Alexander

The Tomb of Alexander: A Dissertation on the Sarcophagus Brought from Alexandria and Now in the British Museum (1805) is a scholarly work by Edward Daniel Clarke. The book is a detailed analysis of the sarcophagus believed to have held the remains of Alexander the Great, which was brought to the British Museum in the early 19th century. Clarke examines the history of the sarcophagus, its construction, and the various inscriptions and symbols that adorn it. He also explores the controversy surrounding the authenticity of the sarcophagus, and the ongoing debate over whether it actually belonged to Alexander the Great. The book is an important contribution to the field of archaeology and ancient history, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
