Alexander’s skull probably did look like that. Which – now I’m wondering – do we have Alexander’s skull somewhere? In our preservationist world, we sometimes do have ways to get a hold of such things.
Where was Alexander buried? Was he buried? He died in Iran, I think – is there a museum in Iran with his remains? This is an answerable question, I’m sure. But I’m going to pretend there’s no internet and hang on to the wondering for a while.
