An Iuka man who believes the lost Tomb of Alexander the Great may be located in extreme southeastern Marion County encouraged a county board committee Tuesday night to pursue development of the site a tourist attraction.
Harry Hubbard presented artifacts he said were earlier looted and sold from the underground cave, WJBD Radio reported, along with a number of books and maps that he said confirm the location of the cave.
“The county could be rolling in revenues coming in from the outside,” he told the committee. “Any country in the world would love to have this repository within their boundaries… and it can be exploited.”
Hubbard said he believes gold and riches are still buried in the cave, even after what he calculated was the removal of over five thousand pieces and over $6 million in gold.
Hubbard has translated three European based languages on some of the artifacts, confirming the remains are not from American Indians. He believes as many as 50-thousand Europeans fled during the Roman Empire and arrived in the area by coming up the Mississippi River and then followed the Ohio River and Wabash River before traveling up the Skillet Fork to an area where he believes the cave is located.https://docs.google.com/document/d/18AThCJqFa3PqLb6OF4Vsp7uCK6uDgPj463o-UT0OTM4/edit
