Epic History TV's complete four-part history of Alexander the Great in one video. Follow the incredible story of the Macedonian king as he embarks on the total conquest of the ancient world's greatest superpower, the Persian Empire. With dramatic victories at the Granicus, Issus and Gaugamela, Alexander defeats Darius III and claims the throne of Persia. But his campaign to subdue the empire's easternmost provinces and reach the edge of the known world will take him into modern Afghanistan, Pakistan and the frontier of India, where he meets the Indian king Porus in battle at the Hydaspes. This is the complete overview of Alexander's conquests, a 10 year period of immense drama and historical significance, as the young Macedonian king's breathtaking achievements ushered in a new era in European and Middle Eastern history - the Hellenistic Age.

A high school teacher said to his class ,by the time Alexander the great was a few years older than you he had conquered the known world, a student then said ,but he had Aristotle as a teacher, we only have you .
-
It's amazing to think that Alexander The Great started conquering the world at the same age kids are graduating highschool and making cringey tiktoks.
-
This narrator was born to narrate. Perfect pitch of voice. The serious and heavy inflection of words 🤌🏻
-
This was the best material I have ever seen on Alexander The Great. Brilliant job making this!
-
Alexander at 20 : Conquering empires Me at 18 : Closing the fridge door slowly to see the light turn off
-
The fact that Alexander the Great's name is remembered even 2000+ years after his death is mindblowing...
-
Much respect for learning and spreading Hellas 🇬🇷 history to this world. This is a very informative video ❤ And i say that cause there is so much propaganda going on from Albanians and "north Macedonias" claiming Alexanders origins and even calling the historical proofs fake, and Greece a non existent country!!! This really proves to them that the whole world knows the truth about Alexander being a Greek!!!

Thank you very much. I have benefited greatly from your videos. You are wonderful and your style is unique. I am amazed by your experience in tracking events through distinctive animated maps. I need them for explanation. Sometimes I did not find them in places that I thought were plentiful, and I found them with you. I wish you more luck and success. You provide truly sophisticated and creative content. Greetings from Egypt.

Once again, a passionate person, with cheap software and a microphone, beats the pants of the History Channel and Discovery combined. AND RELEASES IT FOR FREE. Thank you.

Achilles: Imagine a king who fights his own battles, wouldn’t that be a sight. Alexander: Hold my crown
-

-

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

Can you I imagine that conversation: "Where is my husband?" "He died in battle." "Where is his body?" "We used it to build a bridge."
-
20 million views!!! Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 Well deserved.
-
i feel disheartened to see that this channel is not the most viewed channel on youtube ever. Not anyone can put in so much hardwork in a video as this one guy does. This channel deserves so much more
-
Learning about Alexander in college gave me a midlife crisis. This man was conquering the world at the same age where I’m in a battle to not eat too many ramen packets in one day
-
Imagine having a teacher like Aristotle, at his time probably considered a just a popular philosopher among many others, now one of the most important thinkers in our history.
-
Outstanding! Thank you!
-
Awesome video, thank you so much!
