What a lovely episode!

The possibility that Seliucas I Nicator was fathered by Phillip II, is in play, here. The fact that there are'nt many mentions of Seleucas while Alexander lived, yet was a part of the inner circle and known by all the Companions hints at Seleucas being an un-official brother of Alexander.

So the Greeks and Romans 'were despicable', what about the Parthians? Love listening to current age historians that sanctimoniously judge history thru a modern lens.

Ученые из Института цитологии генетики СО РАН и Самарского государственного социально-педагогического университета вместе с коллегами из Германии, США и Франции провели крупнейшее генетическое исследование носителей скифской культуры со всей Евразии, чтобы понять демографические основы истории скифов. Оказалось, что скифы с разных концов евразийской степи друг другу ближе, чем другим народам, а их потомки принадлежат к носителям тюркских языков. Результаты исследования представлены в журнале Nature Communications, артикульный номер: 14615 (2017 г.). Вопрос закрыт.

Experimentation on living human specimens - a foretaste of Dr Mengele in Nazi Germany!
