Fun Fact: Rome vs Alexander: who would win? The question of who would have emerged victorious if Alexander the Great had headed west rather than east and faced the Romans in battle is one that fascinated Roman scholarly thinking for centuries (Livy even engages in this alternative history in book 9, section 19 of his histories that you can access on Perseus). Indeed, when Pyrrhus, king of the Molossian tribe in Epirus, arrived in southern Italy in 281 BC and began his epic war against Rome, later Roman sources (including the Greek Plutarch who was writing during the Roman Imperial Period) would depict Pyrrhus (quite rightly) as an 'Alexander imitatio' - a second coming Alexander and the man who, out of all the Hellenistic warlords that followed Alexander, most closely resembled the conqueror both in regards to his charisma and military ability. This was why the Pyrrhic War became so important to the Romans - in their eyes it was the closest they ever came to fighting Alexander the Great himself in battle. Who do you think would have won if Alexander had faced the Romans in battle? I'm sure this goes without saying but I want to thank Ilkin, Nurlan, Cogito, Devin and Malay Archer. Without these guys, videos such as this and the epic siege of Rhodes would not have been possible. Also want to make a quick note that the Roman Empire at 330 was not divided as Constantine had re-unified it - made a small error there! It was later divided again at the death of Theodosius. T

I did notice one mistake though, the Roman Empire was not divided in 330, the main thing that happened that year was that the capital of the united Roman Empire was moved from Mediolanum to Constantinople. Constantine was at the time the sole Emperor.

Interesting fact: Alexander payed his respects to Cyrus the Great's tomb: "Alexander the Great rode into the city of Pasargadae with his most elite cavalry in their bronze, muscle-sculpted body armor, carrying long spears. Some of his infantry and archers followed. The small city, in what is today Iran, was lush and green. Alexander had recently conquered India. Greece, Macedonia, Asia Minor and parts of Egypt were all part of his new empire. The people of Pasargadae likely expected the worst-when the world’s most dangerous cavalry shows up on your street, you are probably going to have a bad day. But he hadn’t come to fight (the city was already his). The world’s most powerful ruler had come to pay tribute to someone else. The young conqueror was looking for a tomb containing the remains of Cyrus the Great. But it had recently been ransacked (probably for political reasons). Alexander the Great was furious. An investigation was launched, trials were held. Alexander ordered the tomb’s contents replaced and restored. According to one Greek historian, this included “a great divan with feet of hammered gold, spread with covers of some thick, brightly colored material, with a Babylonian rug on top. Tunics and a Median jacket of Babylonian workmanship were laid out on the divan, and Median trousers, various robes dyed in amethyst, purple, and many other colors, necklaces, scimitars, and inlaid earrings of gold and precious stones. A table stood by it, and in the middle of it lay the coffin which held Cyrus’s body."

Modern day "Greeks" are mixture of those tribes...Persian inscriptions use the word YONA for greeks..Now let me surprise you...Yona(Yonani) tribe actually used to live around modern day east afghanistan region...and many of these Yonani ppl migrated to modern day costal Turkey region and from there they migrated to Modern Greece..Yes that makes ancient Afghanistanis ancestors of Greeks...wannna debate..

Alexander's army is technologically superior compared to Genghis even tho Alexander lived like 1500 years before Genghis.

First of all, Alexandros was 32 at the times of his death. Second of all, we barely have any historical evidence of Jesus existing, let alone contemporary. His age at death at 33 is purely Christian tradition, not historical. It's pretty hard to give a year of birth given the forged nativity story, but even the latests hypotheses are 3 BC.

One quirks of history is that Abraham Lincoln's body was almost stolen by counterfeiters to be buried in a random location for ransom, and that the only reason the Secret Service got involved protecting Lincoln's body was because it was their job to combat counterfeiters. The President's sarcophagus was only secured by a single padlock, so if normal thieves were trying to steal the President's body they probably could have gotten away with it. The mystery of where his body went could have reached the level of Alexander the Great's had the Secret Service not stepped in (as it was not their job to protect the Presidents at the time).

According to Thomas Madden in his well written book Venice: A New History, in 976, at a time when Venetians were unhappy with the Doge they “set fire to houses built around the fortified [Ducal Palace]. The fire grew into a mighty blaze that cut across the San Marco area. Not only was the palace consumed, but so also was the wooden chapel of San Marco, the old church of St. Theodore, and some three hundred other buildings. The body of St. Mark, so carefully purloined from Alexandria and installed in the newborn Venice, was lost in the flames.”

In 1977 were discovered the Palace and the royal tombs of Macedonian kings in Northern Greece,precisely in VERGINA which is a small village in the region of Macedonia(not related with North Macedonia which is a modern state of course). The professor of Archeology Manolis Andronikos who discovered the tombs,found also a Golden Larnax 24 carat and 11 kg weight(!!!)embossed with the Vergina sun symbol. Inside this larnax they found the bones of the dead,a golden armor and many other golden and ivory artifacts.They said that the tomb was Phillip’s,father of Alexander III. But recently,American historians and the top Greek historian Eleni Glikatzi-Arveler(She was Principal of University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne!)developed the theory that the tomb isn’t Phillip’s,but certainly his son Alexander III the Great! We have just to wait to be proved. Who knows?Maybe we are a step before a great discovery. Greetings from Greece.

The Roman Empire did NOT split in AD 330 - the capital was moved to New Rome (Constantinople). Some historians declare that this event marks the beginning of the so called "Byzantine Empire". It should be noted that the last "Byzantine/Eastern Roman Emperor" issued an edict during the final siege of Constantinople in 1453 demanding that everyone relinquish their wealth to pay mercenaries for the good of the Roman Republic!
