“It’s the most amazing sight, seeing the Goats being excavated and restored. There is a huge drain cut into the rock and a communal bathroom. Here Alexander the Great would bathe with his companions, his famous lover Hephaestion and all those young men who traveled with him on campaigns.
His bedroom has not yet been located, but all the rooms of the palace are there,” said Bethany Hughes, among others.
