What would be a nightmare for you?

After suffering for 12 days from a mysterious illness, Alexander the Great died in Babylon in 323 B.C. at the young age of 32.

Strangely, his body did not begin to decompose for a full six days.

This led many of his followers to believe that this was proof that he was a god.

But now one expert believes that his body did not decompose for a much more troubling reason. He believes that Alexander had not yet been completely dead.

Although several theories about Alexander the Great's death have emerged over the years, this new finding suggests that the young king may have suffered from an autoimmune disease called Guillain-Barré syndrome.

And this disease could have paralyzed him and made his breathing appear almost invisible to doctors. If, in addition, they had refrained from checking his pulse, this theory would be even more likely.

In this case, Alexander the Great was falsely declared dead up to six days before his actual death.

Perhaps he was even buried alive.

Perhaps he heard everything and saw everything that was going on and could not communicate as in a locked-in syndrome.

More nightmare than that, I don't know.
