Description
Direct carved black marble /
Alexander the Great visited The Oracle of "Zeus Amun" at Siwa in 331 BCE. He was seeking to learn who was his real father. Nobody knows what the oracle told Alexander. But legend holds that he was informed that Amun, whom the Greeks associated with Zeus, was his father. Afterward Alexander embarked upon great conquests in the east, conquests that only a son of a god would dare to embark upon. After his visit to Siwa, Alexander made known his desire buried there.
