This is such a powerful and majestic song, and probably the best thing about the movie. It's sad that such an epic piece of music was attached to a movie that was far from anything epic. This song exudes masculine power and imperial aggression and the movie looks like it was made by a flaming fruit cake on an acid trip.
We should all be proud of our ancestors but to look at the world the way Alexander did and put aside all of our differences and appreciate the whole of humanity wouldnt that be GREAT?

i'm sorry, your ancestors?your an american , you don't know anything about honour ,respect, cultural and historical herritage. you know what your problem is that you compare yourselfs to great men like alexander, leonidas, great european emperors , but all you do is bringing great missery to the world. the answer to world peace doesn't lay in the hands of america but in the rise of an new empire against american tirany.you don't respect other cultures, you think that you are the world greatest
Glorious Europa? Ha, thats good, you mean honor the countries that gave us Hitler and the retarded, outdated, arrogant, ass kissing royals. You don't give a shit about America or Europe, your just another weekend warrior living in his parents basement because your girlfriend won't give you any pussy.
Europe is Glorious and has an unbelievable History. I am German and i'am Proud to come From Europe. And you Say Europe is only a Fucking Guy Named Hitler ??? or the Royals ???. Hmm think about your point of view about Europe your meaning is Retarded,Dumb and has no Sense. Am i Nazi because im a German NO !!. Go back to History Class and learn something about the World History you faggot.

Oh please, after the thousands of years of death and destruction you "glorious" europeans have heaped on the world, no matter if your german or not, you think you're going to school me. What are you, nine? And being a german doesn't make you a nazi, its your fucking "Europeans rule the world" attitude. And another point, I prefer woman, but as I hear it there are a lot of you europeans prefer the young set.
The only think "unbelievable" about European History is the incredible arrogance.
Blain1971 says:*its your fucking "Europeans rule the world" attitude.* where do you come from America ? i am 17 and i think i have more knowledge about History than you my Grandfather was in the Wehrmacht any problems. Its the American Way of Fucki Life ?? No way your way of life is to Bomb and destroy other Countries like Iraq,Vietnam,Korea and Afghanistan and you say we Europeans feel Untouchable WTH ? Go Back to Guantanamo and make the Prisoners to your slaves stupid asshole.
I`m south american and i agree with you..but you must understund that the people of USA they know hothing about the rest of the world..tehy think all the world is "USA".
For they South america only produce coffe, carnaval and soccer.
Asia is japan and china
europe is Great Britain and the big ben, Germany and nazis, paris and the Eifel tower, Spain and the bulls , Italy and th ecolosseum..
Africa is lions and elephants..and thats all folks!
yeah, and all their past is american :-) Ancient Greece is so american it looked scandalous to show Alexander other than as the traditional american women-loving male !
ich bin franzose und viele danke fur das du geschreiben hast ,nein ihr seit keine nazi,wir hatten napoleon der war auchn ein idiot ,viele liebe zwichen unsere lander sculdigung fur die feller in deutsch
Amongst other things, it also gave the world most types of weaponry, musical instruments, chemistry, sciences in general, languages, seafaring, engines, democracy, the law, urban culture and many other things. Most importantly though, we created the USA and the other American nations. If that's good or not is your call, but apart from a small group of Asian countries no nation was able to compete with Europe and anno 2009, that maxim still holds true, since even Americans are European.
I have no problem with Persians too..... I respect them, but I cant accept what you say! some of the greatest ever minds were Greeks, philosphers, scientists... military commanders! anyways...... you still did not answer my questions! why the base of westerns civilization is based in Greek culture, science and achievements and Why you lost in every battle against Greeks(490-479) and later Alexander??
Persian empire was the greates one, not greek. all the shit about greece is because of western propaganda. but I still respect greeks and their empire. And alexander was a good man.
You're an idiot. How is the Persian Empire the greatest? Oh and if Greece is only great because of western *propaganda* as you say it is, how come the east thinks Alexander is the greatest king they ever had? It was the last time the middle east ever had peace anyway.
which Easterns think about Alexander like that? you dumb ass. Cyrus the great was an example of a real king. Cyrus was the greatest king ever, not only in the East, in the world. the only reason that alexander is well known is because he could invade Persia. that proves Persia was the greatest empire. Greece stole the knowlwdge of Persians by Alexander. they stole books and everything. you r really stupid. read some history books you fool ass faggot.
If Alexander from a small land can conquer entire Persia (and more) with a small army (Gaugamela- 50.000 Greeks vs 250.000 Persians) than he is the greatest general.
Like all the easterns retard. I do read history books where do you think im getting my facts from? Alexander didn't steal knowledge from Persia, he had knowledge from Greece already. Who was it that knew the world was round? Greece! Cyrus was tricked into becoming king too, Harpagos sent a rabbit to him with a messaged supposedly from the gods. If he hadn't done that then he wouldn't have killed Astyages and become king.
Mohaamir I think you need to read books and educate tour self!! Not us..... you simply look stupid fot what you said and an unintelligent person. How can you mention as western propagada for the glory and succcess of Greek civilization!! I mean how did you come to this idea??? And please tell us, if Persian empire and civilization was greatest, why you lost in every battle against Alexander and also in every battle in the two major invasions you did in Greece between 490- to 479 B.C.
Also MOHAAMIR...... how do you explain the fact that the base of western European civilization and todays world, is ancient Greek science and literature, laws and democracy! mathematicians, philosophers, astronomers, historians.... we stole nothing from Persians! we educated Persians and the whole world by spreading Hellenic culture and knowledge to them
What the hell are u talkin about? u mentioned democracy, but for ur record, the first human rights rules were written by Cyrus the great. U said u educated Persians? Its the funniest shit ive ever heard. everybody knows that greeks were all gays. how about that huh? most of Persian books and knowledge were destroyed or stolen by Alexander. we had the best medicin knowledge. cesarean was done by Persian doctors. we had the best architecture, look at the Persepolis. everything u think is DELUSION
hahahaha you make me laugh!!! listen I dont have any intention to argue with you! I have better things to do. I will leave you in your ignorance..... I will just mention one thing that says it all. You said about Persepolis...... even Persepolis the word itself is Greek. Perse(persians)+ polis(city in greek) meaning city of the persians and the architecture is Greek. Ante malaka
I said Persepolis because u know it by this name. We call it Parse. gggg, If I were u I wouldnt talk as well, because u have nothing to answer. but let me tell u that im not ignorant. I have respect for Greece and its civilization. I have no prob with Greeks. The ignorance is when u call urself the greatest civilization, while u were not, u were great but not the greatest. oh, i forgot, the architectue of Persepolis is pure persian, nothing to do with greece.
I have no problem with Persians too..... I respect them, but I cant accept what you say! some of the greatest ever minds were Greeks, philosphers, scientists... military commanders! anyways...... you still did not answer my questions! why the base of westerns civilization is based in Greek culture, science and achievements and Why you lost in every battle against Greeks(490-479) and later Alexander??
everybody knows the greeks' ways are the foundation of how almost everything in the west is done.
the egyptians did alot too. and i know this is pretty old now but, even if they were gays, you still enjoy what they gave us thousands of years ago till this day.
