Is Alexander The Great's Body In Venice? Not So Fast Sir...

Some theorize that the body of Alexander the great, which no one knows where it is, is actually in the Saint Mark Basilica in Venice. Let's check out these statements and validate them with logic, reason and a proper analytical method.

Alexander III of Macedon (356-323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great, was one of history's most successful military commanders and a pivotal figure who shaped the ancient world. Born to King Philip II and Queen Olympias, he was tutored by Aristotle in his youth, receiving an education that combined philosophy, rhetoric, and sciences. When his father was assassinated in 336 BC, Alexander ascended to the throne at age 20 and quickly consolidated power, suppressing revolts and establishing his authority over the Greek city-states.
His most remarkable achievement was the creation of one of the ancient world's largest empires through an unprecedented military campaign that began in 334 BC. Leading a combined Macedonian and Greek army, he crossed into Asia Minor and began a series of victories against the Persian Empire under Darius III. His tactical brilliance showed in major battles like Granicus, Issus, and Gaugamela, where he consistently defeated larger Persian forces through superior strategy and the effective use of his companion cavalry.
Alexander's empire eventually stretched from Greece to northwestern India, incorporating Egypt (where he founded Alexandria), Babylon, Persia, and parts of Central Asia. He adopted elements of Persian court culture and encouraged his men to marry local women, promoting a fusion of Greek and Eastern cultures that characterized the subsequent Hellenistic period. His vision of cultural integration, though not universally popular among his followers, had lasting effects on trade, cultural exchange, and urban development across his conquered territories.
Despite his military success, Alexander's empire began fragmenting soon after his death in Babylon at age 32, possibly from fever or poisoning. His generals, known as the Diadochi, divided the empire into separate kingdoms. While his empire didn't survive intact, Alexander's conquests spread Greek culture, language, and ideas throughout the ancient Near East, profoundly influencing the development of civilization in these regions for centuries. Cities he founded became major cultural centers, and the Hellenistic civilization that emerged from his conquests created a lasting bridge between Eastern and Western cultures.

[@GothPaoki]

We do not actually know if Alexander considered himself a god. That's a hot historian debate but certainly there's no definitive answer to it. Some historians speculate it's slander and indeed those who wrote about it are all political opponents of Alexander. The reason historians believe it's slander is because to ancient Greeks believing yourself divine was especially taboo and considered slander so it makes sense they'd want to accuse him of that.

[@pacmonster066]

...what? It's not hotly debated. Alexander called himself a descendant of Achilles, who the Greeks believed a son of Zeus and therefore a demi-god who became a god upon his death. That isn't a debated topic. By calling himself a descendant of Achilles he's saying he is descendant from a god and therefore would be considered part god as well.

[@GothPaoki]

@pacmonster066 Not exactly. All ancient Greek kings and queens considered themselves descendants of gods. But descendant of gods doesn't mean you're a god yourself. Because claiming that was as i said hubris and Greeks were extremely wary of hubris .

[@pacmonster066]

@@GothPaoki "All Greek kings and queens considered themselves descendants of gods" Going to need a source on that claim. The ones that were are specifically referenced as such *because* it was not the norm. It's also beside the point. If Alexander considered himself descendant from Achilles then it infers he was using Achilles popularity and godhood to further justify and bolster his reputation/rule.

[@GothPaoki]

@@pacmonster066 there's examples like Herodotus writing about people he specifically mentions a hecateus that believed he was descended from gods,but it really doesn't matter because that was an extremely common practice for especially nobles so you'll be hard pressed to find specific sources since that was universally accepted in the Greek world.

[@pacmonster066]

@GothPaoki ...so your example was a singular person then you make the claim it was some common practice. Again, source. If there aren't sources available to back up what you're saying you can't just call it a "common practice". Back to the original incorrect statement. When Alexander took control of Egypt he was considered the Pharoah. In ancient Egyptian belief the Pharoah was a god. That's two separate facts about Alexander that aren't "debated". His belief that he was descended from Achilles and him being Pharoah of Egypt, where the people of Egypt would consider him a god. Neither is something his political opponents would have made up.

[@drakron]

The tomb location have been lost for centuries now, the last description we have is from Leo the African from 1494 AD but even that is somewhat suspect, Emperor Theodosius I according to Cyril of Alexandria ordered the tomb open and looted in 400 AD. I do doubt the Venicians would get the body but it is possible because of the Alexandrian Crusade of 1365 were the city was occupied and sacked for 3 days but its unlikely, especially considering Leo the African stating he saw the tomb over a century later.

[@GothPaoki]

Theodosius was an avid pagan hater and if he got his hands into the tomb there's probably nothing left. He would view everything of that period as pagan and Alexander as a representative of it so it makes sense they wouldn't respect him

[@paradisecityX0]

Then why did Theodosius have Thutmoses lll's obelisk shipped to Constantinople?

[@tomforde6696]

As always interesting and stimulating! I am sceptical that this is Alexander's body. It's an interesting hypothesis but there are a lot of suppositions. Even the marble carving could point to an ancient site for Alexander's worship. Given the veneration for Alexander throughout the ancient world I find it hard to believe that his tomb and body were lost and then confused for that of St. Mark. Given that the Church was under periodic persecution up to the fourth century I would think that Mark's relics were kept hidden like other relics. On the point of the Venetian Archdiocese (it's not the whole Catholic Church just the local diocese that is refusing to test) I would think that is down to local politics and economics. If someone else is going to pay for it, and not the diocese, (not just the testing but all the other costs involved, e.g. insurance, security etc) then objections might suddenly evaporate.

[@tinie15]

This is my favorite conspiracy theory and I'm so glad you covered it! Here's my two cents as to why the church doesn't allow testing... Imagine they do, and it turns out that this is indeed Alexander. What will they say to the thousands of people who have paid their respects to this body "Um, yes, sorry for this, you have been praying to Alexander all along"? Also, I've never been there; I don't know if people are required to pay to enter, but I'm guessing it's not free? So, for me it all boils down to a) saving face (if this is false, how many more artifacts etc are?) b) losing revenue

[@mnk9073]

Let's be honest, these days a lot more people would pay to see Alexander than Marc...

[@shahmatsimplex4144]

The whole problem with this is that there is no mummy or full skeleton to examine. The so called remains of st mark are just a few bone fragments, similar to other relics found in catholic monasteries throughout Europe. This whole theory is a 21st century concoction to sell books and possibly make a da Vinci code type movie. St Mark's is full of artifacts looted from Constantinople in 1204 ,so not surprising if there is a recycled building rock with an ancient Macedonian star. I been to st marks on many occasions in the 70s and 80s. The catholic church isn't being difficult, there is nothing to examine, yet they do want to keep their myth of st mark alive.

[@kilvesx7924]

A lot of mediterranean relics ended up in italy for many reasons. Genoa and Venice were the two greatest mediterranean trade republics in the late middle ages, and that's basically where everyone wanted to bring anything valuable for sale or safe keeping. The area was also the wealthiest, so a lot of rich people with a lot of money to buy all kinds of valuable things. Also, romans fleeing Constantinople brought a lot of old stuff with them, and Rome, the most important city in the largest religion of the planet is located there. Italy really is the go-to place for finding pretty much anything valuable and old.

[@marc_svsengineering4319]

For thousands of years almost every known religion has used relics for divine inspiration and or a conduit for their god/gods. Christianity is slowly stepping away from that practice to a certain extent. The Catholic church has a vested interest in recruiting/maintain followers and its financial capital in order to maintain and grow its influence. Attractions and relics, brings a historical background as a legitimate platform against other religions and strengthens there standing among others. This also has a side benefit of also bringing in financial wealth to many. It's in the best interest of the church not to investigate a relic even in this case with the remains in question as long as it's still an attraction. That being said, I still think Alexanders body could still be in Egypt (Alexandria) or Babylon.
