@AFGRULZ26

The day you come out of your cave, save some time from stoning women , and start ONE factory that can produce ONE hairpin..feel free to make fun of India. Honestly, fed on American dollars, chinese weapons and extremist govt, all you can do is keep making fun of Indian curries..little realizing that we've gone so ahead in race, that all that is left for you is catch the smell of our curries. You are FINISHED. Now please continue crying some more....

[maniac7777]

@AFGRULZ26

Oh n btw, since your irritating comments have been able to catch my attention,,i'd like to add another point to enhance your limited knowledge. Do yourself a favour, and try and look for oldest civilizations, compare them to still existing..and see who is there and who is not. And in which all lists Pakistan figures, everyone knows better.

I hate idiots like you. You've practically spammed every episode. I know i'm wrestling a pig, and you'll enjoy it.

Roxana accompanied him on his campaign in India in 326 BC. She bore him a posthumous son called Alexander IV Aegus, after Alexander's sudden death at Babylon in 323 BC. With the king's death, Roxana and her son became victims of the political intrigues of the collapse of the Alexandrian empire...

[earlytosleep]

"...Roxana murdered Alexander's other widow, Stateira II, and Stateira's sister Drypteis. Roxana and her son were protected by Alexander's mother, Olympias, in Macedonia, but her assassination in 316 BC allowed Cassander to seek kingship. Since Alexander IV Aegus was the legitimate heir to the Alexandrian empire, Cassander ordered him and Roxana assassinated around 310 BC." Wikipedia

[osgood100]

Isn't this incorrect? In this episode the journalist tells us that Alexander's son died whilst Alexander ruled. However, his son, Alexander IV was murderd with his mother by Cassender around 309BC... Alexander himself died in 323BC.

[sahajad]

Yes that is what all the other historians say.

When Alexander died Roxanna was 4 months pregnant.

[aa64126]

Beautifully filmed documentary. Alexander believed himself to be just another Greek god -- Alexander by the way wasn't Greek or white/ caucasian as he is believed to be in the west. He was mongoloid or mix as was his teenage Tajik bride. This image is broken when he sees himself in the mirror in Perepolis upon his return to Persia. Once he becomes human, he falls into depression which is so severe that it kills him. All his hair had turned grey at the age of 33, and no god had grey hair.

[bahrianite]

at 4:32 when the cart man stops his cart in the middle of the road,a little boy crossing by his side says " chal oye kanjar" meaning move pimp!:P hahahah damn

[saifeestar]

In Pakistan u always have to meet with resistance .... no easy pessage.

[SexciiAsad]

but, pakistan has way better looking people

[jiggashady]

Dont be mean to Australoids,they are Cool. =)

[jiggashady]

Pakis are mostly progressive Nord-Indid/Irano-Afghan types whereas the bulk of India[Sri lanka and Bangladesh too] are Weddid Australoids.

NW India and high caste hindus are progessive Europoid types though

[meq08ha]

why should nt we resist foreign invaders

[rajkiran1982]

that was india my dear..

[khoomi]

PUNJAB .NOW PAKISTAN

[KingOfDestruction]

I love when he's talking with the man about building the ships and he tells Michael Wood it would be impossible for an army to build as many ships needed to transport the army and then the commentary from Michael states "Impossible yes, but Alexander did it." This is the kind of man all other men should marvel at and strive with all there will and energy and passion to be like or if possible surpass. Much like Alexander set goals for himself to surpass the gods he learned about as a child.
