Was Alexander the Great swallowed by the rising tides of the Mediterranean, or perhaps hidden by a populace protecting their god-king from religious fervor?

Introduction
After his death in 323 B.C., Alexander the Great's body was hijacked and brought to Egypt, eventually resting in a magnificent mausoleum in the heart of Alexandria. For centuries, it was a site of pilgrimage for Roman Emperors, yet by the 4th century C.E., it vanished from the historical record. Was it swallowed by the rising tides of the Mediterranean, or hidden by a populace protecting their god-king from rising religious fervor? Our investigation picks up the trail.
