Interesting theory that the actual tomb (I think they mean coffin) was looted from Egypt by the Venetians, believing i to be the tomb of St. Mark.
And two pieces found in Venice and the British Museum appear to be from the same burial coffin. Theft of a sacred relic was a common occurence in the past by all sorts of adventurers and "scientists>" Lots of stuff from Egypt wound up in the British Museum under less than savory circumstances. Outlandish theory? Yes, but there are stranger things than we know Horatio....:-)

Isn’t there some legend about what befalls anyone who discovers Alexander’s tomb?

Has the location of Alexander the Great's Tomb been found I don't know. Tell me. Has it been found?
I really wish these people would stop with their clickbait speculation.
When they confirm they found Alexander the Great's Tomb they can post the headline "Alexander the Great's Tomb Has Been Found".
Until then it's all clickbait.

I thought they stuck him under a river or something like that.

Persia. How many times did these clowns get beaten? Fun fact was that Alexander was reading the Anabasis which was the greeks march ( or escape) to the sea within Persia and used it as a guide. To movie buffs, the anabasis was the basis of the movie The Warriors after the greeks were trapped ( and backstabbed) by the Persians and hounded daily.

There was a Steve Berry novel about that mystery (The Venetian Betrayal).
