Alexander’s BFF’s Tomb Has a Sun Secret

Get this: a massive tomb in Greece—possibly built for Alexander the Great’s bestie, Hephaestion—was designed so sunlight beams right into the burial chamber on the winter solstice. Archaeologists think this could’ve been for epic rituals about renewal and cosmic order. But not everyone’s convinced, since the ancient calendar was kinda messy and winter in Greece is super cloudy. Still, the idea that ancient architects pulled off this solar alignment is wild! #HistoryNerd #AncientGreece #AlexanderTheGreat #Science
