Alexander the Great, the great commander of the ancient Alexander Empire, was the son of the ancient Macedonian King Felet II. After he ascended the throne in 336 BC, he led his troops to invade the East on a large scale. In more than 10 years, they conquered the east and west and divided the vast land from the Indus River in the east to the Nile River and the Balkan Peninsula into their own territory. Regarding the history of Alexander the Great, there are only some folk manuscripts, which are very contradictory to the records in some historical books, and are very legendary. Due to the long history, people cannot get more, so archaeologists and historians have pinned their hopes on the excavation of the tomb. However, people have not been able to obtain some valuable evidence.

In 1599, Capuchin monks in Palermo, Sicily, Italy discovered some underground tombs under a monastery, and in the tombs there were some complete tools for making mummies. So they decided to try this technique on a monk who had just died. From that time until the practice was banned in 1880, the practice of mummification flourished in Sicily. To this day, people can still see corpses dressed in costumes from various periods and hanging high in varying degrees of decay.

Is the Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum buried deep underground really well preserved? Are the historical records that were burned by Xiang Yu when the Qin Dynasty fell true? These are mysteries that the historians have been exploring but cannot solve. Many historical records have recorded that after the peasant uprising at the end of Qin overthrew the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, occupied the capital of Qin. He ordered people to dig up Qin Shihuang's mausoleum and steal the treasures in the mausoleum. It is said that he mobilized 300,000 people to transport it from the underground palace and it took 30 days but it was not finished. Later, a shepherd looking for sheep set fire to the underground palace of the emperor's mausoleum, and the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was destroyed by the fire. This statement has always been accepted by historians.
