Hello from Spain. Being from Lebanon, how Alexandros/Alexander is remembered there? As a great warrior; or as a monster? I love history, and Alexander is part of it. I consider him the greatest warrior of all times, not as much becouse bloody seazures like Tyre but becouse he tryed a politic of reconciliation with Persia, instead of smashing them. Taking away theyr cukture and impossing Greek´s. He didn´t act like the romans, and centralized the power in Macedonia to rule every "provence" of Persia. Of course this is an interpretation, I guess he can be in the weast "Alexander the monster" like Brian Bosworth books paint him. I can only say that I wish there would have been an Alexander in the Spanish war against the fascist, Hitler, Mussolinim Morocco troops and more. I wonder what a genious mind like his, and his skills in war could have done in 1936.1939. Just curiosity for history. Greetings.

In Constantinople for example, Fetih let his soldiers rape, murder and ransom the population for 3 days before he ordered to stop (some say he even cried, which is possible given his tender age of 21). The ones in Hagia Sofia temple were spared (just like the people in the temple in Tyre). This video confirms to me that it's a common theme in exhausting sieges.

it was common practice to let your men to pillage, plunder and rape after a difficult siege. The times back then where a lot harsher and the mind-set a lot different, soldier usually were competing against each other to see who raped more women for example. That said, the reason they let them do all that was because it improved your army's morale while it destroyed the enemies' by spreading fear in other cities and soldier were more loyal to their generals

@@Euro.Patriot Yes, of course, because to say that the army of Tyre would have been defeated at sea and its stones thrown into the sea almost 200 years in advance is just a coincidence. Tyre consisted of two parts: a continental part, which was destroyed centuries earlier by the Babylonians; and an insular part, consisting of a fortress with high walls and towers. When it was first destroyed by the Babylonians, they did not attack the island part as well. This is the interesting thing, that later the fortress in the middle of the sea was also destroyed by the Greeks, as the prophecies indicated.

Fun Fact Alexander the Great fulfilled the prophecy against Tyre in Ezekiel 26. He even predicted it’s destruction and how Old Tyre would be cast down and thrown into the sea. As Alexander did when he tore it down to make a bridge across to New Tyre

@@tofu8164 You can’t ignore fulfilled prophecy. There’s much more evidence for Christianity by the way. Reach out to me if you want to here it. Remember that going to hell is a choice. God doesn’t want people to go there, but his nature requires sin to be punished. However he’s also merciful and died on the cross for our sins. You don’t want to die without Christ. This is your eternity at stake. I know it sounds unbelievable, but so is the universe even coming into existence. Trust me, Christianity is undoubtedly truthful.

Why didn't the Persian fleet help Tyre?
@stleisink7 жыл бұрын
LuigiVampa22 By far the most and best Persian ships came from Phoenicia, which Alexander conquered except for Tyre.
@fupopanda7 жыл бұрын
The Persians never had a military navy of their own, as they were predominantly a land power. But they had a humongous navy that operated under the Persian authority. These all came from their subjects; in particular, the Ionians and Phoenicians. Alexander however captured or accepted the surrender of all the major coastal cities in Ionia and Phoenicia, except for Tyre. In essence, the bulk of the Persian navy simply became Alexander's. That's why his navy, in the later half of the 7-month siege, easily outnumbered the Tyrian navy.

And what is really fascinating about the destruction of Tyre, both on the mainland, and the island fortress is that is the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. Prophecies made by Ezekiel (written from 590-570 BC) against the city of Tyre can be found in Ezekiel chapters 26-28. •Many nations would come against Tyre (Ezekiel 26:3) •The walls of Tyre would be broken down (Ezekiel 26:4) •Debris would be scraped from her, and she would be left like a bare rock (Ezekiel 26:4) •Tyre would be a place for the spreading of nets (Ezekiel 26:5) •Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, would build a siege wall around Tyre (Ezekiel 26:8) •Nebuchadnezzar would plunder the city (Ezekiel 26:9-12) •The stones, timber and soil of Tyre would be cast into the sea (Ezekiel 26:12) •The city would never be rebuilt as it once was (Ezekiel 26:14) The siege of Nebuchadnezzar took place within a few months of Ezekiel’s prophecy. At the end of his 13 year siege, he broke down the walls and devastated the mainland city (Ezekiel 26:7-11), conquering them and forcing them to pay tribute. Although Babylon had conquered the coastal city, many Tyrians had escaped to an island fortress which withstood his attack, and Nebuchadnezzar was never able to break their defenses. Later in Ezekiel 29:18, we see Nebuchadnezzar’s failure to completely subdue all of Tyre, and the tribute it received from Tyre was not nearly enough to compensate him for his efforts, so Nebuchadnezzar turned his attention to Egypt. Later, Alexander the Great’s Grecian Army would come in 332 BC; to get to the island, Alexander’s Army (and 7 other conquered nations) “scraped” all the remaining “debris” and rubble and dumped it into the sea, perfectly fulfilling Ezekiel 26:12, and Zechariah 9:1-10. (Zechariah was written from 480-470 BC), by doing this, he built a 2,000 foot long causeway to the nearby island. The area later became a fishing city, a place to spread nets for centuries until the Saracens finally destroyed what was left in the 4th century BC. (Ezekiel 26:14) Since then, Tyre has never been rebuilt to its original splendor. The ancient city of Tyre was eventually lost to the sea as the changes made by Alexander’s causeway altered the coastline.
