The Tomb of Alexander is a dissertation written by Edward Daniel Clarke in 1805. The book discusses the sarcophagus that was brought from Alexandria and is now in the British Museum. Clarke delves into the history and significance of the sarcophagus, which is believed to have been the final resting place of Alexander the Great. He examines the intricate carvings and inscriptions on the sarcophagus, as well as the materials used to create it. Clarke also explores the controversy surrounding the authenticity of the sarcophagus and the possibility of it being a forgery.
