People need to use their heads in order to find it, not
their shovels.
The biggest secrets in the world are best hidden when they
are in plain view. In order to understand exactly what the case with
Alexander’s tomb is, we have to think in the exactly opposite way than the one
the system would like us to think. This means that we have to think in the
exactly opposite way than we did so far, which did not allow us to really see
what most likely is in front of us all the time. We can literally see the tomb
in our mind if we close our eyes.
Besides, it is known that people can see things better if
they use their mind instead of their eyes. Perfectly sighted eyes can be fooled
by an illusion, whereas a great mind cannot.
Perfectly sighted eyes can see an illusionist actually cut a
man in three pieces, whereas the mind sees a trick. Perfectly sighted eyes may
see palm trees and oases in a desert, whereas a good mind sees them only when
they are actually there.
What does this mean in our case? It means that the location
of Alexander’s tomb is not actually a secret. Not only has it not been lost,
but we have all seen it without actually realizing what it is that we are
looking at. The Establishment plays tricks on us, like conjurers do, and has
convinced us that the tomb is lost because there is no sign to indicate it,
whereas we can see it in front of us and touch it if we use our mind. This is
the reason we refer to the mind and not the eyes. We speak of thoughts, not
research. We can easily see where the tomb is if we consider that Alexander has
a recent, therefore living relationship with the Establishment that we did not
know of.
So, we should not think like archaeologists who seek after a
lost symbol of a former Establishment. In Alexander’s case there is no lost
symbol because there is no former Establishment. There is the eternal symbol of
the eternal – therefore of the current as well – Establishment, so we have to
think as citizens who seek to find what the Establishment’s interests
pertaining to such a symbol are. This is of immense importance and the reader
will understand why as he keeps on reading.
First of all, it is necessary to mention that it is
practically impossible for a tomb like this to vanish from the face of the
earth. The lot of the civilized world of that era worshiped Alexander like a
God-Man for many centuries. He was not just another ordinary man, so time could
not possibly cover the tomb with oblivion. Emperors searched for the tomb of
this God-Man in order to pay their respects, so it was impossible for it to be
left in oblivion, covered with sand and dust. A tomb, which is the resting
place of the most important historical figure of a recorded era in the human
history, cannot be considered lost. Just like Napoleon Bonaparte’s tomb cannot
get lost in our era, Alexander’s tomb could not have gotten lost in his era.
The science of history had already been grounded and there is evidence which
describes the facts of that era just as they have transpired.
There is a financial aspect as well. Superstition thrived
during the period when Alexander’s remains were lost. In the present case, the
verb thrived is interpreted in terms of money. It denotes gold. There were
people who had turned faith into business and sold sacred heads and relics of
any random and unknown saint; therefore we can understand that if someone sold as
much as what once was Alexander’s finger, he could become fabulously rich.
That is, if Alexander’s tomb was left to chance in those
times, some people would have become rich after they had shared its content.
The tomb of such a great man cannot be left to dilapidate, decay and be crashed
by dust and rocks. Why? It is because it is not given the necessary time. It is
not just a tomb but also the chance of a lifetime for many people to become
rich. Legions of soldiers must have protected it during that crucial period so
that they could prevent would-be grave-robbers from gaining riches. God knows
how many rapacious hands of would-be desecrators must have been cut while
trying to steal the tomb which was worth a treasure.
So, during an era when fingers, kidneys and lungs of saints
were supposed to work wonders and everybody was told lies and wild
exaggerations, nobody could claim that he possesses and exhibits a part of
Alexander’s relic, namely the most famous, handsome, beloved thus potentially
most profitable relic on the planet. In fact, it was the most well-preserved
relic, considering the fact that Alexander’s remains had been mummified by the
best experts of that era. If anything, it is a spectacular sight, to say the
least. It is not a bunch of bones which have been dug up from the mud. How can
such a treasure be lost?
Among other things, this can only mean one very simple
thing. Whoever has Alexander’s relic took the whole of it and can afford not to
display it for money. Besides, the way the whole situation evolved leads us to
conclude that this person had enough power to threaten even with death any
person dared set a business around Alexander’s relic; any sacrilegious
trickster would dare appear having parts of Alexander’s relic. The
Establishment itself is the only one with the foregoing specifications. One
could claim to possess about forty toes of saints but he could not so much as
dare claim that he possesses even a small toe-nail of Alexander. He could have
naïve believers worshiping a forty-foot saint, but he would face death if he
had them worshiping Alexander’s toe-nails.
Therefore, the reader understands that he should not think
from the objective of an archaeologist because there is nothing buried that
needs to be excavated. The tomb exists, there are people who know where it is
and they definitely do not wait for archaeologists to discover it. This goes
beyond the scope of archaeology and enters the scope of politics. This tomb may have never been covered by dust
and rocks but it has undoubtedly been covered by interests so as to remain
unseen. Here lies the sensitive point.
If someone realizes this, he can figure out the location of Alexander’s tomb.
Actually, Alexander’s tomb is the most openly hidden tomb in the world.
Actually, it is located in the centre of our world as we know it.
The main question raised at this point is why, for example,
the existence of a tomb of a person with such great prestige would be
undesirable; why the Establishment does not want the location of Alexander’s tomb
to be known, so he hides it. We will compare this situation with a kindred one
so that the answer can be perfectly clear to the reader. It is the same as with
the Romanov family tomb. The Soviet regime did not – on a much smaller scale –
wish for a Romanov tomb to exist, for the same reason that the Russian
Communism did not wish for the tomb of the former leader of the Russian
capitalism to exist. What was the
reason? It was that his tomb alone would become a centre of attraction for the
followers of an opposite regime or of a hostile ideology which would be
unwelcome to the Establishment.
Things are simple. Nobody keeps a spark alive if he knows it
can set out an unanticipated fire that will burn him. If the tomb of Tsar Nicholas were known, it
would become a centre of attraction for the co-ideologists. Nostalgists of the
Tsarist regime would gather around this tomb and celebrate Days unwelcome to
the Soviet regime. Reactionaries would turn the tomb into a meeting point where
they would get together with their co-ideologists fast and effectively.
Anticommunists would use the tomb to denounce the Soviet regime’s brutality and
fanatics would march past it.
How can anyone believe that the Soviet regime did not know
where the Romanov bones are buried? Is it possible that somewhere along the way
the communist Moscow disremembered where it has stuffed these bones? Of course
it did not. The perennial interests of the Soviet Moscow had led the latter to
continuously withhold information regarding these bones that would put it in
danger. How can, therefore, the discovery of these bones – thus of the Romanov
tomb – be a job for the archaeologists? Was there even a single Soviet or any
other foreigner who believed that the discovery of the bones was a job for the archaeologists?
Of course there was not. Everybody knew that the finding of the tomb was a job
for the government of Moscow. If the government wished to reveal it, it would;
if it did not wish to reveal it, there was no way in hell the Russians would
ever find out. Even if every Russian grabbed a shovel and dug, they could not
find the bones. Why is that? It is because if their search brought them close
to them, Moscow would hide them elsewhere in order to keep them away from the
public eye.
Alexander’s tomb is a similar situation, the only difference
being that it has some important particularities. Ordinary people do not know
where Alexander is buried, but the Establishment does. There is no way it does
not know. Ordinary people are not like the Establishment and we do not know
what goes on, so we make a huge mistake. We apply to the wrong people for the
finding of Alexander’s tomb. Alexander was a historical figure, so we get
confused and apply to the wrong scientific field. Finding Alexander’s tomb is
not a job for the archaeology which will discover what was once lost. Its
finding is a job for the political scientists because the Establishment itself
has hidden it.
So, what is the point at issue here? First, we will compare
and contrast the mystery pertaining to Alexander’s and Tsar’s tombs. The
similarities will help us conclude if Alexander’s tomb is hidden and the
differences will help us conclude where it is hidden. The first thing we need
to do is examine why Alexander’s tomb causes a problem to the Establishment of
the Western world similar to the one the Romanov tomb causes to the Soviet
regime. We need to examine the reason why the Establishment’s interests are
threatened by this tomb. We need to examine and understand why the
Establishment is threatened and hides the tomb when it could make a fortune out
of it.
There is no other sight more celebrated and more lucrative
than Alexander’s tomb. Such a sight can yield tons of money to infinity.
Alexander has been worshiped by the biggest religions. The Greeks consider him
a God-Man but he has been canonized by Christianity and ranks among the
Prophets of Islam. No other person has even been honored like this. So, why
would the Establishment have reasons to hide him since it itself acknowledges
that he has these qualities? What is more, – and here lies the big difference –
we need to examine the Establishment’s true feelings towards this famous dead
man. This way we will be able to figure out the whereabouts of the tomb that
the respective Establishment has hidden in relation to the position of its own
center.
We will begin with the issue of interests. If someone
manages to prove that there is a connection between world rulers’ interests and
Alexander’s bones, he will find the exact position of the bones with the
precision of a GPS. In order for the reader to better understand what has
really happened with Alexander’s tomb, we will examine things from an unknown
perspective; a perspective that has remained unknown until today; the
perspective that reveals connections we do not even suspect of existing. What
is the connection between Alexander and the former and current world rulers who
have the power to hide the existence of the tomb? Only people with such power
would be able to hide this tomb. It is not enough for someone to want to hide a
tomb of a man like Alexander; he also needs to have the power to actually carry
it into effect.
That is to say, it would have been an unsuccessful attempt
even if some insignificant fanatic Christian priests or Taliban muftis wished
to hide the tomb so that the religious fold or the Islamic people would not be
tempted to think in the Greek, therefore sinful, way. Hiding the dead body of a God-Man who has
millions of followers ready to kill so as to defend their God calls for great
power. At the same time – and here lies the antinomy of the whole situation –
having such great power at that given time called for someone to be that
God-Man’s follower and priest.
This means that the people who have hidden Alexander’s tomb
were powerful and given the facts we understand that they were people who
worshiped Alexander at the time when they attempted to hide his tomb. Why are
we so certain of this? It is because the
tomb was lost during the era of the Greek nation’s omnipotence; during the
years of the Hellenistic Rome. It was an era when – as we will discover later
on – the emperors felt a special bond with Alexander.
It is not as if Rome had collapsed so that its God’s tomb
and other treasures were covered with dust and mud. It is not as if Rome had
been conquered by people of a different creed so that its sanctities were
burned or destroyed by the wrath and vindictiveness of the barbarians.
Alexander’s tomb was hidden from plain view by some all-mighty notables of the
empire. We seek for the political interests that led to the secretion of the
tomb, not the religious feelings of the Roman emperors which were already
known.
In order to understand what their religious feelings were we
will follow a very special but useful line of thought. Everybody knows the term
blue-blooded, still, few people can interpret it. Everybody is aware of the
term but nobody actually knows its meaning. Everything is in the open and well
hidden at the same time, just like Alexander’s tomb. What could such a word
denote? What is its usefulness? One thing is dead certain, that some people
manage to keep their special relations alive along the centuries through this
mystic fact. They manage to keep the secrets according to which they have a
blue blood, thus they are superior. Why are they considered to have a blue
blood, though? Does anyone know the origin of the term? Why aren’t they called
green-blooded or red-cheeked?
The children of Rome are therefore superior for the simple
reason that they are the children of a living God. They are the children of the
man who connects the Divine with the human. They are the children of the Roman
emperor. In what way is the emperor connected with the Divine, though? The
Roman emperor of the day was considered to be a living God. He was given this
attribute as he was the direct descendant of the thirteenth Dod of Rome, namely
Dionysus. Alexander, though – according to the Roman religion – was Dionysus
incarnate during his Triumph.
Alexander became the thirteenth Roman God after he had been
belauded. Where and how did Alexander prove that he was the Son of God? He proved it in Siva’s alter and the priests
of the Ammon Zeus acknowledged it. The
big secret of Rome lies In Egypt, Africa. Ammon Zeus was said to have a blue
blood according to the Ultimate Knowledge of the adepts. He was the only one
among the Gods to have such blood. Alexander had the same blood because he was
his son, therefore the Roman emperor had the same blood and therefore the
children of Rome had the same blood.
Did the reader understand where we are getting at? The fate
of Alexander’s tomb depended on the interests of the all-powerful people who
considered themselves to be his descendants. These descendants loved him so
they would never forsake him and destroy his remains. On the contrary, they had
interests to hide them from the eyes of the commoners. This is why it is so
important for people to know where the term blue-blooded originates from. We
should look no further than those interests in order to find the reasons for
the tomb’s disappearance. Why? It is because, among other things, there is a
paradox related to Alexander’s tomb.
During the years of the Hellenistic omnipotence, everybody
wanted to get hold of Alexander’s tomb so that they could increase their
powers. Whoever claimed world domination claimed Alexander’s remains as well,
even by force. Possession of Alexander’s remains was the standard qualification
– something like a university degree – for every would-be world dominator.
Alexander’s remains have been claimed by Babylon, Pella, Alexandria and all his
would-be successors. Egypt was the first to play dirty, followed by Rome.
Ptolemaeus was the first to steal the holy body of Alexander on his way to
Macedonia so as to have it in his kingdom, thus have the leverage to claim not
only the legitimacy but also the primacy of world domination. Rome waited for
its turn to come. It did whatever it could whenever it could to ensure it was
the next in line.
Rome had always wanted to get hold of the relic of the son
of Ammon. It was as strong a desire as the others’ who aspired to succeed him.
It was a strong desire for anyone who dared to claim it, even by illicit means,
like Ptolemaeus did. It is just that Rome paid its respects to it, as required,
for as long as there was nothing else it could do, and caught hold of it when
it had the power to do so. Let’s think of a simple thing. We follow the course
of this tomb along the centuries through Rome’s actions. Caesar, who has been
the “first” Roman emperor, has paid his respects to the tomb. Traianus, who was
the “greatest” emperor of Rome, has paid his respects to the tomb. Caligula,
who was an insane emperor of Rome, has paid his respects to the tomb.
Caligula, for example, stole Alexander’s armor so as to gain
some of his strength. Why did he steal the armor? He did it for the simple
reason that he could not steal the rest of the remains. This was the only thing
he was able to do. Rome’s power was that much during that era, so was its share
to the Alexander’s remains. All of the sudden, this glorious treatment of
Alexander stopped, as if by magic. Since 300 A.D. and after Caracallas had been
emperor, there is no other record as to the whereabouts of Alexander’s tomb.
What had happened that changed things in such an impressive way?
Coincidentally, it was the same time when Christianity started rising.
During the Christian years that followed, no empiric notable
wanted people to know where Alexander’s tomb is because his rights to exert
power, which derived from the Establishment, which was now a Christian one,
would be threatened. Up until then, Rome worshiped Alexander but pretended not
to know anything about the location of his tomb, for obvious reasons. The
Christian Rome pretended not to know where the tomb of the man who had been its
Holy Grain was. What happened to change Rome’s attitude? Something happened
that is a common practice for the Establishment. The members of the
Establishment did not change, but their interests did. The members did not
change, but their guise did. They appeared under the Christian guise and had to
hide in chests their former Hellenistic ones.
What does this mean in effect? It means that Rome, after it
had made the choice to become Christian, had to change its attitude. It had to
protect its interests and among the first things necessary to be done was to
cover the tomb of its Father with oblivion. It was a selective oblivion that
made Alexander invisible to humans. Being Christian now, it was no longer in
Rome’s interest for Alexander’s tomb to be disclosed. Rome had no reason to
turn its Father’s tomb into a center of reaction against its own authority.
What is more, being the head of Christianity gave Rome the alibi to steal the
tomb from those who had it until then, since it could reassure them that it
would use it to enhance its authority. Rome could get hold of the remains of
the beloved Alexander and no one would react to this claim.
Its actions were certainly a choice based on interests
because Rome did not just fall into the hands of conquerors who plundered and
destroyed its previous guise. Rome alone, which believed in the Dodecatheon,
had decided – during the time of its omnipotence – to become Christian. The
same Rome which treated Alexander as its thirteenth god and worshiped him
decided to adopt a religion which was threatened by the beloved God of the
Roman dominators. Why was it threatened? It was because Alexander was an enemy
then on. He was the most powerful enemy of the Christian Rome. He was not an
enemy of the Romans as individuals but an enemy of the Roman interests; the new
Roman interests. He was an enemy of the New Religion, thus an enemy of the New
Roman Order of Things.
They took that enemy as well as other elements of the former
Order of Things inimical to them and put them in their own luxurious chest of
history. Apart from these practical issues pertaining to the simple interests
of Rome, things did not change dramatically. The new interests of the same
people could not efface old loves and worships. The new interests of the Romans
could not change their worship for their beloved Father; their worship for a
Father who was blue-blooded, which meant that they were blue-blooded as well.
Alexander would simply have to become the secret God of Rome. He would be a God
only to the chosen ones. Only they could and had the right to know about
Alexander. Only they could and would open the chest and enjoy their valuable
heirlooms and amulets.
There is nothing strange about this. Christianity has always
been a multi-speed religion. The illiterates would identify with Peter the
Apostle because he also was an illiterate, the educated ones would identify
with Paul the Apostle because he also was educated, and the blue-blooded
superiors would identify with other Apostles. The rule was simple. The Jews
would guide the poor and the illiterate, and the Greeks would guide the chosen
ones. Does anybody believe that the all-powerful members of the Christian
Establishment worshiped all the colorful and half-mad crocks that Christianity
canonized from time to time? Does anybody believe that they worshiped the Saint
Nobody the Anchorite and the Blessed Weeping Nought? The Vatican runs a whole
operation of sanctification. Even today there are people waiting for their turn
to be canonized. There are saints who are considered a joke by the blue-blooded
people, yet they are useful to them for keeping the poor under their control.
Does anybody know what the stance of all-powerful secret
fraternal orders, like the Masons, towards the Divine is? Have they ever been
punished for being sectarians? Have they ever been captured and burned by the
Spanish Inquisition? Have their huge fortunes ever been confiscated? Of course
they have not. Why not? It is because all these behaviors were initiated by
Rome and stayed within Rome. Even the Popes themselves belong to such secret
fraternal orders. Popes themselves do not believe to what they suggest others
do. They suggest anything that interests Christianity and Rome, not what they
themselves believe. It is evident that Christianity addressed the mob within
the empire. It was the best way for the blue-blooded Romans to serve their
interests.
They had decided that the mob did not need to know or
understand anything more about its beloved God, Alexander. They dealt with the
situation the same way they had dealt with other aspects of the Greek religion
and worship. Greek children are educated at school and they are taught that the
secrets of the Hellenic Mysteries have been irretrievably lost. Nobody will
ever know exactly what took place during the Eleusinian Mysteries or the
Kavirian Mysteries. How can this even be possible? How can this undyingly
classified and extra-valuable knowledge be lost? Wasn’t the Roman emperor an
archpriest of the Greek religion, namely the perfect adept of the Hellenic
Mysteries? Wasn’t it a Roman emperor, thus an archpriest of the Dodecatheon,
who decided to make Rome Christian? So, what happened all of the sudden? Did he
forget everything he knew? Did he start hating all these things he had
worshiped until then?
How can the knowledge of such a mechanism which was under
the authority of the emperor be lost? Did the latter himself destroy the
vessels of knowledge which up until then helped him maintain his authority and
made him out to be the chosen of Gods? Why did he do it? Did he do it out of
humility? Did he do it so that he would become one with the illiterate and
benighted plebe which he did not even take into account? What was the purpose
of destroying all these useful and beneficial to him evidence when he could
just hide it? What was the purpose of destroying it instead of just hiding it
in a basement in Rome? It is not as if he would be saddled with it. What was
the purpose of destroying it? Did he do it because he was a fanatic? He might
have been a self-seeker but he was no Christian fanatic. Was there any chance that
the rest of the all-powerful archpriests would allow him to destroy this huge
intellectual wealth? Therefore, he must have hidden it in collaboration with
the supreme priestly notables of the empire. Besides, this is the reason why
some wings in the Vatican Library are inaccessible to the commoners.
We understand, therefore, that the most logical thing to
assume is that nothing has been lost. Everything has been hidden and nothing
has been lost. The Greek knowledge has been hidden just like the tomb of the
Superior Greek Man has been hidden. Books like The Name of the Rose do not only
reveal some of the Greek knowledge but also knowledge related to Alexander’s
tomb. It was the tomb that Rome had always had under its control. Even if
Alexander’s tomb had been in the New Rome, or else Constantinople, for a number
of centuries, it returned to Rome after the Crusades. Whether it was out of
fear that the valuable relic of Alexander would fall into the hands of the
barbarian Seltzuk Turks, who might not have known how to handle the most
delicate matter of the empire, or because they wanted to signify the renewal of
Rome’s world domination, the relic of Alexander was re-transferred to Rome
where it rests until today.
Why are we so sure of it? It is because it cannot rest
anywhere else. Because the powerful people of this world could not have agreed
on a different location. The Germans could not have agreed for the symbol of
the Romeo-Catholic Empire to be in the hands of the British or the French, and
the same goes for all possible locations. Their Father had to remain in his
House so that his blue-blooded children would not fight with each other. Mother
Rome would have her dead in its bosom and the children would have their dead.
Rome would have Alexander, the Germans would have Carlomagno, the French would
have Napoleon and the British would have Henry the IIX. The children of Rome
wanted to succeed their father and continue his game to their own benefit. Rome
protects the rules of this game and this is the reason it has power over life
and death over anyone who threatens it, no matter who that person is.
We need to remember at this point what we referred to at the
beginning of the text regarding the new information that results from finding
the differences and similarities between Alexander and Romanov’s case. As we
have aforementioned, the Establishment in both cases had no choice but to keep
the location of the respective tomb a secret because it served its interests.
The whereabouts of the tomb, though, in each case depends on the different
feelings of each Establishment toward the tomb. There is a big difference that
leads us to reach to more conclusions.
The communist Soviets were not only adversely affected by
the Romanov tomb but they also hated it.
This is the reason why they not only kept the tomb a secret but in
effect they disgraced the Tsar by burying him deep in the ground of central
Russia. On top of everything else, they punished him by depriving him of the
right to a proper grave where people could pay their respects. The blue-blooded
Romans were also adversely affected by a disclosed location of Alexander’s tomb
but – contrary to the Soviets – not only did they not hate it but they
worshiped it. It’s true they wanted to secure their interests that were
threatened by Alexander’s tomb but they had no desire whatsoever to punish him.
This is why they turned to a midway solution which would satisfy everybody and
would be known only to them. Since they had the power and the authority they
would make sure Alexander’s tomb rested close to them. It would be powerless to
harm them, yet permanently close to them.
They would give due honor to it by stealth and they would
publicly claim that they did not know anything about its location. This was their way to perform their duty
towards the Superior Man in full, yet they knew they had deprived him of his
contact with those who he loved, namely the ordinary people. In reality, they
kidnapped Alexander and turned him into a true age-long deceased Homer; into an
immortal Odysseus-like hero, secluded in some secret and out of reach
Ogygia-kind of place. What is more, they could control this way the extent to
which noisy people or investigators would have access to him. This is the
reason why right from the start we insist on claiming that it was the Roman
interests which had changed pertaining to Alexander, not their feelings towards
him. Rome has never stopped worshiping Alexander even during the period of its
Christian fanaticism when it compelled people to go through the Spanish
Inquisition.
Did the reader understand why right from the start we said
that one can clearly see Alexander’s tomb with his mind’s eyes? Rome laughs at
the expense of the archaeologist Liana Soulvatzi or anyone kindred who searches
in the muds to find the very thing Rome would never allow to be hidden in the
muds. Rome laughs at the expense of archaeologists who search in dirt and
debris in order to discover what functions as the Holy Grail for the empire. In
the best case scenario, they will find rocks and wood of an abandoned cenotaph
because Rome itself has snatched its divine content long ago. All it takes is
for someone to realize the significance of the tomb to Rome and he will figure
out where it is located. It has been estimated with mathematical accuracy that
Alexander’s tomb rests at the heart of Rome. It is also certain that all
would-be world dominators care for the tomb with the due respect; in the way it
was cared for by former emperors. We take it for granted that the all-powerful
leaders of the world, who visit the Vatican, are introduced to the secrets of
Rome once they take over their positions in power. We are convinced that people
like Carlomagno, Henry IIX, Napoleon and more contemporary figures like
Churchill, Roosevelt, Clinton, even that semi-stupid Bush have paid their
respects to Alexander’s tomb. Even Gorbatsov travelled to Rome to announce the
collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Why do it from Rome? Could it be because
he wanted to render homage to Rome and pay his respects to its Father?
It should not be surprising, even technically-wise, if the
tomb is in the Vatican City. We are aware of the standard Christian practice to
efface traces, so we can easily speculate on the possibility. It is a standard
Christian practice to bury Greek symbols in Christian graves. You efface traces
by creating new traces over the old ones. You step on footprints so that it is
not clear who has stepped on them first. They followed the same practice as
when they built Christian churches on the ground where famous ancient-Greek
temples had been formerly built. There has been a church built in the name of
the Virgin Mary even on the Parthenon. That was the Christian way not only to
rob Greeks of their places of worship but also to control them so that they
would never be used for that purpose again.
We believe that the same successful practice was followed in
the case of Alexander’s tomb. They have used another tomb to hide his tomb.
They have used the most famous tomb of Christianity to cover the most famous
tomb of humanity. Alexander’s tomb rests inside Saint Peter’s Crypt because,
among other reasons, the Pontiffs and Roman emperors wished to be buried close
to their Father and retain their after-death privilege of immortality. The best
among the blue-blooded Romans wish to be buried next to the superior
blue-blooded man. The people who wore the purple robes wished to be buried next
to the man who was born to the purple. The mortal emperors wished to be buried
next to the Immortal Emperor.
Notwithstanding, we do not know if Alexander’s tomb rests in
front of, behind or next to the alleged Peter’s tomb. Most likely there is no
Peter’s tomb, namely most likely it has never been found. There are more
chances that the dead body of the insignificant Peter has never been found –
after he had been crucified – than the dead body of the God-Man Alexander has
been lost. Things are simple. There are more chances that one of the most
useful tools of Rome has never existed than the most precious of its treasures,
namely Alexander’s dead body, has been lost.
I suggest that the next Greek sight-seer who visits the
Vatican and enters Saint Peter’s crypt takes a pause and stands before it a
little longer. I suggest that he closes his eyes and who knows; he might see
things more clearly. He might as well close his eyes and touch the crypt with
this mind. I suggest that he closes his eyes and he becomes the raft by which
Odysseus will escape the secret and secluded place of Ogygia. Only the Greeks can bring back the storm-tossed
Odysseus who has won all wars but has not managed to return home because the
witch of Ogygia has fallen in love with him; the Roman witch in our case.
