For hermalous to go on a tirade, it took guts and I don't blame him at all for it. Power and pride ruin every great ruler sooner or later and Alexander wasn't immune to that. Also, at the time, if you got caught plotting to kill your king or a powerful man or woman, you were almost always tortured and eventually executed so hermalous knew he had nothing to lose so instead of going down begging for his life, he let loose how he truly felt and I applaud him for that.

@@kambar1647 You see, the thing that people like you don't seem to understand is that no one ever claimed Afghanistan was never conquered. "Conquering" Afghanistan is easy, but conquering the people (in particular the mountaineers) is a different thing. The fact is that until only recently, there have still been mountaineers in Afghanistan who have lived free from any sort of government rule for thousands of years. Yes, Alexander, Genghis, Timur and many other conquerors have took over all of Afghanistan according to the map. But what the map doesn't tell you is that those mountaineers weren't even bothered by any form of government rule (due to the fact that subjugating them was impossible due to their fierce resistance and advantage in terrain as well as nomadic warrior lifestyle) , which is why to them, the states, governments and rulership meant nothing. That is why Ahmad Shah Durrani had to bribe some of his own fellow Afghan tribes to join his cause in establishing a state. The mountaineers only followed and obeyed a government/rulership when they wished. Thus why Britain and the kingdom of Afghanistan, in particular Emir Abdur-Rahman ourt so much emphasis and effort in weakening the nomadic Afghan tribal warriors (through forced migrations, ruthless use of military, and etc.) Anyone who learns and reads about Afghan history will notice something very quickly in Alexander's, Genghis Khan's, Timur's, and especially the Mughul's stories: “The strength of Afghanistan lies not in the cities, but in the mountains where nomadic warriors have lived for centuries unconquered.” Trying to subjugate the Afghan mountaineers was a huge disaster that only inexperienced and unknowledgeable invaders did not avoid. Thus, historians unanimously agree that entering Afghanistan is easy, but staying in it is where it gets near impossible.

The battle of Arigaeum does not get talked about much, but in my view, this battle is in the same league as his other great battles in terms of brilliance. Alexander utilized the terrain well to hide the movement of his flanking forces before hitting his enemies on the sides and successfully relieving the pressure from the center before reaching the breaking point. (1) Hidden units joining the fray at the last possible moment (2) Double flank attack (3) Weak center I wouldn't be surprised if this battle was a major influence on Hannibal's military mind.

So it is confusing to hear that Alexander left Taxila to meet Porus in Spring, "despite monsoon rains". This picture is not correct unless monsoons used to be radically different in 326 BC, which would be an exciting thing to learn if true.

Alexander was the greatest man to ever live. Caesar was the most complete man to ever live. Hannibal was the master of deception and nobody did more, with so little. Ghengis rose from nothing and created the most unstoppable war machine ever seen. Napoleon was a tactical savant. The 5 greatest generals of all time.

Arigaeum ? This really looks like the battle of Pydna where Paulus Emilius soundly defeated Perseus... The fact is that A3 didn't fall into the trap and had his own strategy prevailing at the end... Now comparing king Perseus to A3 is at best ironic if not a kind of parody... Eventhough PE was impressed by the phalanxes formations...

Interesting Fact: Thanks to archeology we know where the mountain from the siege of Aornos is located and we can have glimpse of how much the soldiers needed to climb on narrow trails while being attacked and their patience. It took them a week. You can watch the documentary "On the footsteps of Alexander the Great" in the part of the Indian Campaign where Michael Woods climbed that rock himself
@waleedali74352 жыл бұрын
There is still debate on the location of Aornos. Its narrowed down to two peaks in northern Pakistan. Historians can't say for certain which of the two was Aornos. First one is the Elum Ghar peak located in Buner, Pakistan whilst the other is Pir Sar, located 50 km northwest of Elum Ghar in Shangla, Pakistan.

My mind is always blown that Alexander himself and other Greeks actually set their foot here in the location where my country is (Pakistan). Even Greek rulers used to rule parts of India which is just crazy to even think about. The influence the Greeks left in this region of South Asia can still be seen today. Also, I did a DNA test on myself. Found out I had 2 to 3% Greek DNA. My mind was again blown away!
