In 323 BC, Alexander fell ill and, after 12 days of excruciating pain, he seemingly passed away.
However, his corpse didn’t show any signs of rot or decomposition for a whole six days.

They believe that when he “died” he was actually just paralyzed and mentally aware. Basically, he was horrifically buried alive!
