[Prospero]

If his remains were packed in honey, that's a Sumerian tradition. Not certain how long that practice lasted past the sack of Ur III (c. 1912 BC). But a lot of influences did, including the language (the curia's "Latin" of the 2nd and 1st millenium BC, at least up to the Seleucid, and that would include Alexander's successors. Anyone know why Ptolemy won out over the Seleucids for the tomb site?

Did Ptolemy take possession?

His one-eyed father Philip's tomb was almost certainly uncovered just a few years ago.

Ptolemy may have been the only one who gave it a try. Originally (it sez somewhere around here) the crystal sarco was put into the Euphrates (presumably in a monument of some kind), then Ptolemy grabbed it and built the tomb in Alexandria. Apparently Seleucus realized what a great idea that had been, and built some sort of cenotaph or other monument in Macedonia or Greece somewhere.

[Verginius Rufus]

Reportedly Ptolemy hijacked the sarcophagus when it was on its way to Macedonia.

Whether the tomb found in Verghina in the 1970s was that of Philip II (Alexander's father) or of another member of the family (like Philip III Arrhidaeus) has been hotly debated--scholars are divided on the question of whose tomb it is.
