Alexander the Great’s Body Didn’t Decompose for 6 Days — Scientists Now Think He Was Buried Alive

A Detail of Alexander the Great from the Alexander Mosaic discovered in Pompeii. The mosaic, created during the Roman Republic, is believed to preserve a lost Hellenistic image of Alexander

The mysterious final hours of Alexander the Great are famous in ancient history. The surviving accounts were written centuries later but drew, to varying degrees, on earlier sources that may have included eyewitness testimony. Alexander was in the royal palace at Babylon after years of campaigning. Only 32 years old (almost 33), he had recently completed plans for new military expeditions and grand construction projects. Then he fell ill after a banquet, and his condition deteriorated over the next two weeks. The emotional accounts of ancient historians such as Arrian, Plutarch, and Diodorus Siculus attempted to convey the palace scene.

At first, he was able to direct military business from his bed, but his fever intensified. He gradually lost his ability to speak. Grief and confusion hung as heavy as the summer heat. Thousands of anxious Macedonian soldiers waited to learn his fate. His senior generals, including Perdiccas and other senior officers such as Ptolemy and Seleucus, surrounded a dying conqueror who could no longer speak. Court officials and secretaries whispered in the corners while physicians discussed desperate strategies to treat him.

His closest friend, Hephaestion, was absent. He had died only months earlier.
