It’s interesting that the remains had been given the mummy treatment.

It’s understandable that the church doesn’t want to look like a bunch of nimrods with a phony religious relic.

i have no doubt there is private interest among church officials in knowing the answer as well, but we know how that goes.

Chugg has certainly gotten some attention over the years; the funerary casing measurement study apparently persuaded the british museum to modify the language on nectanebo II’s sarcophagus.

but once again, chugg says he thinks even if this was ‘alexander’s mummy’ there is only a 25% chance it is actually alexanders due to various points in history it might have been replaced for perfectly pragmatic and understandable reasons.
