The Greatest General in History? Alexander the Great (All Parts)

Strabo (63 BC) tells us that Illyrians, Thracians, Bottians and Thesprotes shared the Macedonian territory (Tribes of Pelasgian origin 🇦🇱 ). Source: (Strabo, VII, Frg .n°.11) The Macedonians have just propagated the Hellenic culture and have adopted it little by little ... The ancient authors called the Macedonians Barbaros/non-Greeks... For example the great Thucydides... Example : Thucydides (II, 80- IV, 126) who qualified of Barbaros (not Greek) the MACEDONIANS, Thesprotes, Molosses, Châones Atintanes, Paravaiens, Orestiens etc!

Alexander can thank Aristotle for teaching him the Greek language and writing ... He can thank Aristotle for having educated him to think like a Greek. Here is what Pultarchus tells us on this subject (Life of Alexander, 51): - "And whereas all the others surrounded him and begged him, Alexander jumped, called with great cries in Macedonian... " (The Greek was distinguished by his language which alone constituted his greekship and his "nationality": was Greek that which spoke the Greek language! ) Alexander adopted the Greek culture...

@@Universal.. Nice try but it's not exactly the accurate historical and archaeological picture we have about ancient Macedonians, Epirots and other Greek tribes. Also your attempt to connect Illyrians with modern Albanians is ''at will'' since we don't have a single author, either Greek or Roman connecting those two in their works: Illyrians-Albanians. Therefore your motives are already suspicious. Unless, you better tell the people here how in hell you connect these, and why since there is zero literature material and zero evidence you make a case. Seriously? You should know also, if you had studied thoroughly the sources, that many ancient Greeks described as ''barbarians'' by certain Greek authors just because they lost all the criteria that characterized someone as Hellene in those days. In other words, they have been Greeks by blood but considered as ''barbarians''. Lastly there are tons of sources, which you avoid to post for your own reasons that debunk your ''conclusions'' and what you assume about certain topics (maybe you want to manipulate the viewers to a certain ''virtual'' historical truth) but have no relation with actual historiography.

@@Universal.. Well, after all the comments I have to admit it is very difficult to decide what is more absurd... The fyromians' pathetic attempts to create fake "history" and identity with fake maps, statues, costumes and flags or seeing a bunch of slavo-bulgaro-skopjianovskis and albanians trying with rather desperate "arguments" and childish tantrums to show who is more of a fake leftover from Tito's former Yugoslavia...

Varun i can’t agree with Ptolemy, Alexander fell prey to the same failure as many men. He just didn’t know when to stop and smell the flowers. He had his war but did not recognize when it was time for peace. Of course hindsight is 20/20 eh

That's from a movie, not from a historical figure. Ptolemy's memoirs are sadly lost, but Arrian, the chief ancient source for the Alexander story probably had access to the work.

For real. Tens of thousands of miles they marched. Explored, conquered. So impressive. Let alone to maintain the logistics. I wonder if their weapons became more and more Persian the further East they went.

The army was loyal til death, their king lived in the same conditions in the traveling, and always fought to the first ranks, great men with courage and great king..

The other day I went hiking up a mountain, we did maybe 9km with 2.5 L of water, and some food. I barely made it back. I cant imagine marching day in and day out with armor, weapons, my equipment, probably 40 - 50 lbs of shit

I hiked 10 miles in the hot summer.no water or food.i can go probably 50 if I wanted to with no water.these men marched all these miles while experiencing euphoria I bet.the food is why human health has dramatically deteriorated over the last century.and little bit since the agriculture revolution.humans are the only specie smart enough to do something as dumb as not eat their natural diet and even so brainwashed enough to the point of not liking it 😂

Strabo (63 BC) tells us that Illyrians, Thracians, Bottians and Thesprotes shared the Macedonian territory (Tribes of Pelasgian origin 🇦🇱 ). Source: (Strabo, VII, Frg .n°.11) The Macedonians have just propagated the Hellenic culture and have adopted it little by little ...

Olympias, the mother of Alexander the Great. But who was this woman who is said to have astonished the Macedonian king with her beauty ? I will write based only on facts, that is, on the quotes of famous ancient authors, mainly Greek. ( For me there is one thing in history, which with the facts are not said ... ) According to Plutarch, Alexander was a descendant of Ajax through his father Neoptolemos and this is accepted without discussion. According to Justin, Philip married Olympias, daughter of Neoptolemos, king of the Molosses. All the authors thus agree on the fact that Alexander the Great was the grandson of a Molossian. For those who do not know this tribe (the Molossians), who were they, what territory did they occupy and how were they considered by the ancient authors ? Let us stop for a moment to know more about the tribe of the Molossians from which the mother of Alexander the Great came. To make it simple, the tribe of Molossians is in Epirus somewhere in the region of Chamerie on the back of Thesprotians who dominated the coastal part. In addition to this, the Kaons who were in the south of present-day Albania and who constituted three of the great tribes of Epirus. Historically, tribes like the Molossians or others who composed Epirus like the Kaons, the Thesprotians, the Paraue, the Antintans and others, are historically linked to the Illyrian (🇦🇱) culture or to a part of it. As Thucydides tells us about the events of the Peloponnesian War that involved both actually in reality Illyrians and Illyria itself, these tribes were commonly considered barbarian (non-Greek) tribes. Thucydides: - "Among the barbarians there were about 1,000 Kaons who ruled without a king. Along with the Kaons, the Thesprotians also participated and were also ruled without a king. There were also the MOLOSSIANS, the Atintants and the Paraues. ( HISTORY OF THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR ) All these tribes, mentioned by the historian of Athenian origin Thucydides for their participation in the famous Peloponnesian war in the 5th century B.C., are considered as barbarians, therefore not Greek! ( Thucydides II, 80- IV, 126 ) The Kaons, the Thesprotians of Chamerie, the Arintans and the Parauets constitute the backbone of what one called Epirus. Among them are of course the Molossians where are the roots of the family of the mother of Alexander the Great ! And Thucydides is not the only source which defines the Epirotes as non-Greeks. There are many others! According to the encyclopedia Basic Antiquity, composed of 86 volumes... Pauly Wissowa the Real "Encyclopedia Alterumswissenschaft" says that the Epirotes are of Illyrian origin 🇦🇱 and have strong links with the population of southern Italy! More concise on the issue, the only Nobel Prize in history 🎓 is none other than Theodor Mommsen author of the cycle "Corpus of Antiquity inscriptions" which says that: - "the brave Epirotes, the Albanians 🇦🇱 of antiquity supported with traditional loyalty the young and brave Pyrrhus or "the Eagle" as they called him " . Let us point out on this subject that the Albanians name themselves "Shqiptar", that is to say "sons or children of the eagle". The soldiers of Pyrrhus (3rd century BC / Epirote King), called their King "the Eagle" and that the latter retroqued them one day that they were his "children", so the Albanians are the children of the Eagle ... "Shqiptar = child of the Eagle .... " . (Pyrrhus was the cousin of Alexander the Great, of the Molossian tribe and himself an ambitious conqueror, Pyrrhus is one of the most formidable adversaries of the early days of ancient Rome). Lorenzo Braccesi (Professor of Greek History at the University of Venice, Italy, in 1986) tells us: - "Olympias was originally from Epirus, on the part of the father who was king of Epirus, on the part of the mother also and that Illyrian blood 🇦🇱 circulated in the family, there is no doubt. " ( 9,01- 9,15 . The true story of Alexander the great ... - Gjurmë Shqiptare ) That the Epirotes are or are not Illyrians is a discussion that, from an archaeological point of view, is resolved. The Epirotes and the Illyrians have the same culture, if we consider the Iron Age, the use of tombs, fortifications with several rows of walls, their material culture, the shape of the pots or the ornaments which are identical to those of Korça (current Albania) and religion. Not only ancient authors like Thucydides, Strabo and others have called the Epirotic tribes barbarians (non-Greek) but also later serious publications based on documents and archaeological findings point out the same thing. The Molosses, were one of the Illyrian tribes of Epirus from where came the mother of Alexander the Great Olympias daughter of the king and the sister . The Molosses, were one of the Illyrian tribes of Epirus from where came the mother of Alexander the Great Olympias daughter of the king and sister of another well known Illyrian prince "Alexander the Molossus". I believe that all or part of the strong character of Alexander comes exactly from his mother, from the house that also gave birth to Pyrrhus. The powerful role of women in Illyrian society has been documented by many authors, including those who today identify themselves as Greeks, such as Athenaeus and Theompope. Olympias' influence on her son Alexander was so great. She believed that her son had divine blood and that he was born to rule the greatest kingdom of all time. But the mother's family was not the only Illyrian family to which Alexander was affiliated, his link with the Illyrians was stronger than that!

The family of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. This last, according to the data, had a Macedonian father, but not his mother. She was called Eurydice and came from the tribe of "Lyncestides". Who was the grandmother on the side of the father of Alexander the Great? The mother of Philip is the daughter of the daughter Of Arrhabaeus, daughter of king Sirras, says Strabo. Plutarch is very detailed on this subject. He insists that although Eurydice is Illyrian (🇦🇱) and barbarian in every sense of the word, she was educated to help children. He says very clearly that she is Illyrian, and barbaric in every way. (Plutarch, De liberis educandis. p.69) Lyncestides from where came the mother of Philip II, were a tribe which extended not far from the lake of Ohrid, somewhere in the area of Manastir where the ruins of one of their most important cities are today. (Illyrian, no doubt. It is the last province that has a border with Macedonia) As for whether it was an Illyrian tribe, this is clearly proven by ancient historians and geographers, including Titus Livy, Strabo, as well as Pliny who lists many in detail in the fourth book of the collection of 37 works entitled "Natural History", not to mention the great ancient geographer "Claudius Ptolemy" who also classifies the Lyncestrae among the Illyrian tribes . And the later authors have the same attitude since on several occasions, they mention Eurydice, the mother of Philip II and the grandmother of Alexander, as being illyrian etc...

Anyway, the real etymology of the word Macedonia: The name Macedonia derives from the Greek Μακεδονία (Makedonía), a kingdom named after the ancient Macedonians, from the Greek Μακεδόνες (Makedones), "Macedonians", explained as having originally meant either "the tall ones" or "highlanders". Makednon is related to the Ancient Greek adjective μακεδνός (makednós), meaning "tall, slim".

yeah leader right now are just a bunch of coward

Yes because the instability caused by a leader being killed in battle is just so good for a nation. GTFO here. The people who believe that have no military or governing knowledge in the slightest.

Reminds me of George Bush family😅

This changed because of a new reliance on covert or special operations. Which was available after the introduction of weapons that shoot projectiles known as fire arms. Sun Tsu mentions covert intelligence gathering and covert operations are the key to success in the battlefield in 300 BC. It wasn’t taken to heart until the Russians invented operations for their breakthrough methods in modern warfare. Mind you commando units existed in ancient warfare. It wasn’t a requirement. Now it is.

How Alexander was powerful and great if he didn't fight against magadh emperor Dhana Nand which had largest standing soldiers and was most powerful king of that Time. Why Alexander didn't cross Ganga where dhana Nand waiting with 200,000 infantry, 3,000 war elephant, 10,000 cavelry and 2,000 chariot which has 10 times more army than king porous by whom Alexander berely fight with help of Persia. King porous kingdom was very small like 1/20 part of india. Alexander won against weak and sikh kingdom and they titled him great without greatness.

@@kings5274 what if you walked into Egypt and they crowned you Pharoah, a famous Ammon told you you were destined to rule the world, and you smashed the Persian empire without ever losing a battle from Macedonian to Pakistan, and you do it all in your 20s, don’t you think it would get to anyones head ?

@@archivesoffantasy5560 first of all they didn't crown him they just accepted their rule and second Ammon never told him he is son of Zeus, dude think logically why would a Egypt famous priest talk about other religion god he never knew please stop see cartoon films of alexander ,He was told that he is son of Zeus by his mom and some other priest in his country ,it was common in those times to refer king and princes as demi-god, ok lets agree he is demi-god ,that this give him right to kill people like incest's ,HE literally think that all life around him exist for amusement this not what means to be demi-god or great leader, this is being a demi- demon or being narcist moron

@@kings5274 you’re right he didn’t say son of Zeus but the Ammon told him he was destined to rule world. I’m not saying he was good person just interested in a man so influential to history

@RAJU PEDDADA THIS. See the siege of massada (Israel) by the 10th legion

RAJU PEDDADA and they were the ones to popularise the name Alexander the Great

He was the greatest General of all. Twenty years old, as Commander and King of Macedonia. Two other great ones of old, are Julius Caesar. Ruthless though. And Genghis Khan.

Alexander The Great " Democracy is overrated "

Immortality

thats beauty of white ppl . they worship all violent and big murderer and then shamelessly talk of moral code when their ass gets spanked

@@ayushkumar-bg1xfWe are not white,we are Greeks. 100+ city-states with citizenship, theatres, Olympic sports, libraries, bath places, schools, road and trade systems, greatest scientific era. We are not whites, this is the Greek ideology of life. Freedom, liberty and all those abstract words are Greek. Till this day our anthem talks about liberty and not about that we are the greatest.

He was a reptilian hybrid.

To be aware that a lunatic is chasing you to slaughter u.. bad feeling

he was going for the snakes head yes...

** BIG facts

Nah, Alexander was a big fan of Darius, he was trying to get some with him, and make him his satrap but then Darius got murdered.

We do, in Greece at least

he inherited a powerful kigdom from his father. that was a great start

@@krispi1481 well I bet everything that not a single one would reach what he did even with an army. You could have the world. It’s the way you treat and lead it in order to reach glory. At that age for me he was an extraordinary young man. Today most of 20 year olds barely have basic education let alone lead the world into a new wave.

@Louise Vanessa damn same here bro.

@Louise Vanessa don’t worry after WW3 we will be fighting with swords again

@@krispi1481 Still doesn’t change the fact he created a greater kingdom than what his father had and conquered a good portion of world.

Aristotle believed the Persians to be savages and once said they'd be better as slaves, Alexander did not share the same beliefs as shown in the video he let some keep their titles and land.

Everything Alexander achieved is a direct consequence of his father. His father modernized the Macedonian army. He(philip)took them from a nation of shepards to a nation of conquerors. It was philip who drew up the blue prints for the persian invasion.

@@noahconnor1540 the remnants of the people still are savages.
