Video Description:
In the footsteps of Alexander the Great
In this award winning adventure Micheal Wood embarks on a 2000 mile journey in the foot steps of Alexander's triumphal march from Greece to India. Travelling with Lebanese traders, Iranian pilgrims and Afghan guerillas, by jeep, train, boat, camel and on foot, he interweaves the momentous events o
f the past with present day reality and brings us new insights into a man whose myth and acheivements still resonate down the centuries. "We saw things I can scarcely believe. We took shelter for the night with an Afghan warlord who had delivered pizzas in the United States, and were hauled off to
jail more than once. It was one of the great experiences of my life" - Michael Wood Additional Tags: Megas Alexandros Phillip King Macedonia Aegae Aigai Vergina Thessaloniki Pella Mount Olympus Greece Hellas Phalanx Hoplites Hellenistic Kingdom Empire Conquest Battle War Blood Persian Arab India Pa

This is why Alexander the Great is the main influence in my life and has inspired me more than anyone as to who I am as a human being and why I push myself so much and know no limits. Alexander at his lowest point in his entire compain surrounded by enemies, suffering from a leg wound, malnutrition, and a throat wound so bad he could hardly speak was still able to summon the will to lead his army across the river and win a battle. This is why he was the first man in history known as The Great
