 The stories are claimed to Alexander the Great and so the story is of when he's on his deathbed and when he's on his deathbed it said that he had three wishes and those three wishes when his ministers asked him what he wanted was that he wanted him to be carried by all the doctors to his funeral. So he wanted his coffin and his body inside the coffin to be carried by all the doctors, the best doctors to his funeral. The second thing is he wanted that path to be laid with everything that he'd gained in life all the jewels all the riches all the money everything and the third thing he wanted was that he wanted his coffin to be left open so that you could see his hands on either side right and the ministers looked him and said that is the most morbid thing in the world like this is your last wish and those are your three wishes and they said why are there your three wishes and Alexander the Great explained he said that I want the best doctors in the world to carry my body because I want the world to see that even the best doctors in the world can't save you from death he said I want the path to my funeral to be laid with everything I've gained to show people that you can't take anything with you and he said I want my hands to be outside of the coffin to show that we come into this world empty-handed and we leave this world empty-handed we all have a finite number of breaths and we all get an opportunity to make them count
