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: Hydaspes Battle Of Μακεδονια ελλας θεσσαλονικη Megas Alexandros Makedonia Macedonians Greece Hellas Hellenistic Persian Empire King Darius Cyrus Great War Asia Iran Tribe Gr

Good theory ... ( 11 months ago by 1Conquistador)
Good theory Thessalonik1. I also notice that Alexander always advanced & never retreated. He never trotted the same path twice, his entire journey was an exploration as well as a conquest. Which is probably why he brought naturalists, botanists, & philosophers with him throughout his campaign in Asia.

Considering the savagry and continual adversity of exploring the unexplored, Im suprised his troops continued on for so long until finally "resisting" Alexander and his pathos. One can only imagine how valued and loved he was amongst his men, even in dispair.

You know may be Alexander was great but wasnt he another conqueror? I mean the Indians or the Central Asian tribes were no threat to a Greek/Macedonian state right? But he still attacked, plundered and conquered them...? And we can carry on with the discovere/explorer argument, but to much of Asia he is an invader who attacked unprovoked...
