ALEXANDER The Great: The Real History (FULL DOCUMENTARY)

Discover what Alexander The Great really did in Egypt! Alexander the Great, his reputation is known all around the world. Of Macedonian greek royalty, he was trained to not only be wise, but to be one of the worlds greatest conquerers. His wars against the Persians are legendary… he was even crowned a pharaoh of Egypt! But why was this foreign man welcomed into Egypt? Was there something more to his presence here? Or was it because of the close ties between Egypt and Greece.

The quality in these productions has grown exponentially since his first series. I wasn’t the biggest fan at first but these are exceptional. I’m totally in.

I was at the Temple of Amun back in 2023 and thought it was gorgeous. Even in its current state you could feel the history and the magic of temple. Those who were there who weren't part of our group were also in awe of the view we could see of the trees for miles and even a few sea shells stuck in the stone in perfect preservation. If anyone gets the chance, I highly recommend whether it is for historical interest or a mystical/spiritual aspect.🥰

[@MagischerPfad]

Great interesting documentation! Thank you for your work, Curtis! I've already seen a few documentaries about Alexander, yours was finally able to contribute something new. And to see the places too, great! And I particularly enjoyed it again because there weren't adverts every 3 minutes, which distracts me so much after a while that I can no longer follow the content (thanks to my neurodiversity). But because I know that you only get money (which is a joke, I know) if the viewer don't skip them, I let them run through. Much rather that then Videos with adverts every 3 minutes, which I have to stop after 15 minutes at the latest, which is a shame with your high quality documentaries.

The documentary is about his time in Egypt, so for this story the other events are minor.

[@exploringisraelshistory-dv2tb]

Alexander the great was also in Israel (Ceaseara, Beit She'an and in Tiberius)

[@AndreasGassner]

Sad what happened to his kids tho.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

😪

[@pendragonsxskywalkers9518]

Yes, but he is partially blamed himself. He didn't passed away suddenly. He was ill for weeks, he could easily say - this person will inherit throne, my children will be protected that way by this person... He could arrange thing to protect both his illegitimate son and his unborn child by Roxana. He did NOTHING. He didn't care what will happen to them after his passing. I am very intrigued by Roxana person and things she was forced to do to survive after she widowed. What she did give chills but I also respect her as mother who was Queen of the World and then she became widow and mother of the most vulnerable being in kingdom... She was destined to doom, as soldiers would never accept Bactrian Queen and half-Macedonian heir. Maybe if Alexander arranged this during his life, she and her baby could have better chance to live on... (Also: I don't know if documentary mentions it - I will soon watch it! - but there was also first child of Alexander and Roxana, that was born during their campaing to India and they did not survive. I cannot even wrapp my head why Alexander took his pregnant wife on this tiring trip, when so many people lost their life from exhaustion and Alexander jismelf got hurt. It is really miracle that Roxana herself made full recovery.)

[@kaarlimakela3413]

My whole life I always thought the same. A nutcase. Smart, narcissistic, coocoo for cocoa puffs. Persia was a perennial threat it's true . . . But as people say lately, he was doing too much. Don't mind me, I'm a peacenik. 😉 All the clumsy destruction always galled me. Talk about a lot of unnecessary busy-ness. I judge the past 😆 Fascinating of course!

Which changes?

[@Exodus26.13Pi]

Moses recorded Pi 3.14 π first in the Exodus 26 Wilderness Tabernacle blueprints near 1300 BC and not Archimedes the mathematician in 250 BC. 330-15-1=314 Calculation based on the description of the Tabernacle's curtains in Exodus 26:8-9, 12-13 with vs13 being the lynchpin. Here's a breakdown: Total Length of the Curtains: The Tabernacle had 11 curtains, each 30 cubits long. So, all the curtains together were 11 x 30 = 330 cubits long. Folding One Curtain: One of these 11 curtains was to be folded in half. When you fold a curtain that is 30 cubits long in half, it becomes 15 cubits long. Adjusting the Total Length: After folding one curtain in half, the total length of all curtains would be 330 cubits (from all 11 curtains) minus 15 cubits (from the folded curtain). So, the adjusted length is 330 - 15 = 315 cubits. Extra Length at Both Ends: The same folded curtain is supposed to have half a cubit of material hanging off at both ends of the Tabernacle. Since there are two ends, that adds up to 2 x 0.5 = 1 cubit. Final Calculation: To find the final length, subtract this extra 1 cubit from the adjusted length of 315 cubits. This gives 315 - 1 = 314 cubits. This was rediscovered by an engineer from Wisconsin in 2015. Geometry π people will see this as dome shaped. However Josephus the Historian describes the traditional rectangle shaped Tabernacle. 2 different shapes. or (C-curtain L-length) 11Cx30L= 330CL, 1Cx30L= 30CL÷2= 15CL-330CL= 315CL, 315CL-.5CL-.5CL= 314CL Exodus 26:8-9, 12-13 or 330-15-1=314 Exodus 26:13 makes Pi 3.14

Why is your voice so different from your normal voice

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

I’ve been having some health issues, which have caused my voice to become a bit more raspy. So I can’t really speak too loud without hurting my vocal chords. I’ve also been doing vocal exercises which make me speak from the diaphragm more in the past 3 years or so. Plus the new mic also makes a big difference. But my voice is not the same as it was 8 years ago.
