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.
-
Someone once told me that humans can reach immortality by living in the memory’s of their glory. To think that we have Alexanders name and his accomplishments more than 2,000+ years after his death makes truly proves that he reached immortality
-
This narrator was born to narrate. Perfect pitch of voice. The serious and heavy inflection of words 🤌🏻
-
The fact that Alexander the Great's name is remembered even 2000+ years after his death is mindblowing...
-
Alexander at 20 : Conquering empires Me at 18 : Closing the fridge door slowly to see the light turn off
-
I’m from Samarkand, where Alexander the Great conquered and ruled. We really respect him, even they say my grandma’s ancestors are his blood.
-
Sadly this video didnt express the sheer extent alexanders mom played in securing his position at home it was her who had everyone killed and her who kept everyone in line through his campaign his mom was actually crucial to his success
-
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
-
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."
-
When Alexander the Great died, the mother of Darius burst to intense cries and committed suicide. People dont understand how important this man was and the huge effect he had on people. Also many parts of his personality are only now coming to scientific attention, such as the fact that he set alot of democratic laws for the governance of cities.
-
Imagine that much success and power at such a young age. We can hardly blame Alexander for starting to believe he was divine or a god.
-
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.
-
Achilles: Imagine a king who fights his own battles, wouldn’t that be a sight. Alexander: Hold my crown
-
I cannot tell you HOW MUCH I enjoyed this. I loved Alexander The Great for a long time, and THIS AMAZING WORK howed me just that! Amazing way to spend an hour!
-
Alexander truly deserves to be remember as The Great.
-
"His failures towered over the successes of other men" - Ptolemy
-
I think people forget how they must have suffered 8 years of marching,fighting and being outnumbered all the time the Greeks were truly a force to be reckoned with...
-
This man reached immortality while dying so young. He will live as long as the humanity will exist
-
Crazy how i had little to no interest in this back in school but now im obsessed. Great video!
