Why Alexander The Great Is The Single Most Important Man In History

Alexander died because of back injury. He carried his team so much

When I failed an exam, my dad told me: “at your age, Alexander already conquered half of persia, why aren’t you?”

“There is nothing impossible to him who will try.” - Alexander the Great

Alexander's charisma was unmatched. Darius mother became loyal servant and adviser to him. When Alexander died, Darius mother was so grief stricken that she refused to eat until she died.

Although there can't be a definitive answer to this question but I just want you to remember one thing, Hannibal, Scipio, Caesar, Augustus, Trajan, Napoleon had only one thing in common, they all looked up to Alexander.

i mean you kinda forgot the whole Egypt liberation thing and how they made him a pharaoh and how he founded a whole city which was supper important in ancient times but okay decent video

Alexander’s mother has an absolutely fascinating story as well. Dan Carlin did an incredible podcast about her life and her involvement in Alexander’s development. Highly recommended!

Alexander was distantly related to Achilles on the mother's side, with the cousins etc. It was Achilles who was said to be the great grandson of Zeus himself.

Socrates was the teacher of plato Plato was the teacher of aristotle Aristotle was the teacher of alexander Allegedly , at the age of 32 , julius caesar was seen crying under a statue of alexander because alexander died at 32 and had conquered the known world while julius hadn't done anything notable and was inspired by alexander to rule roman republic And finally it was due to julius caesar that that his nephew was able to create the Roman Empire and become the most powerful man in the world That nephew was Gaius Octavius who was given the title 'Augustus' meaning 'The Revered One'

Non greeks: exist Aristotle: "So you've chosen death"

Long before social media was even a concept. People like this were known throughout the world before history was made. That's real popularity right there

"Aristotle taught him to treat non Greeks as slaves" That statement is kinda false because Aristotle himself wrote a letter to Alexander when he was in babylon that "Be a good leader to the barbarians and be a good brother to your own kind"

Foreigner: DUDE THERES A CIVIL WAR Greeks: Yeah, thats just Wednesday

“Conquer your fears , I promise you you’ll conquer death” - Alexander the great

“I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep. I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.” Alexander The Great.

Insane how roughly 100 years later, Carthaginian general Hannibal and Roman general Scipio wanted to be like Alexander while battling each other for 17 years during the second punic war

You know, once you put "...is The Single Most Important Man In History" in a title, it'll look weird if you ever do it again.

"His failures towered over the success of other men" - Ptolemy

Imagine defeating someone so much you steal their mother 😂😂

I am not a Greek but I love the story of ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
