  • The West has always had a better military than the East.

  • 2 people did not live to see the sunset over these mountains.

  • vi sitter har i venten.

  • this is how WE GREEKS do this!tears tears to my fucking eyes so PROUD

  • ironically the type of squabbling seen in these comments is the reason why Alexander couldn't finish his invasion of India, discover China and usher in the age of exploration during the classical era, what a world that would have been

  • @zilbiol

    even if he did proceed forward all of India was uniting to face a foreign conquerer like him, hundreds thousands if not millions of men and many more elephants perhaps in the hundreds or thousands.

    Alexander had also stretched his supply lines very far from greece and he was running out of Macedonian men.

    There's no logically reasoning alexander could have been successful in continuing east and conquering the rest of asia.

  • @crackshack2 He didn't need to fight millions of Persians, just Darius, once city states and tribes were cut off from Darius they would aid Alexander increasing his ability to project military force causing a positive feedback loop allowing him to progress through the persian empire as long as he defeated Darius's field armies, key to this strategy is how much help Alexander can enlist from the locals and this kind of squabbling is what prevented Persian help against India.

  • @crackshack2 only a few years after Alexander died most of Northern india was unified by another charismatic figure, considering how easily Alexander adapted to Persian customs it is completely feasible that Alexander could have filled the same niche as Chandragupta despite the slight disadvantage being a foreigner, if the macedonians did not make things difficult for him

  • for the glory of greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeece

  • 7:09 till the end of the video, damn...i have something in my eye.... :')

  • FOR THE FUCKING GLORY OF GREEEEEEEEECE!!

  • On this occasion, he [Alexander] made a very long speech to the Thessalians and the other Greeks, and when he saw that they encouraged him with shouts to lead them against the Barbarians, he shifted his lance into his left hand, and with his right appealed to the gods, as Callisthenes tells us, praying them, if he was really sprung from Zeus, to defend and strengthen the Greeks.

    [Plutarch. Alexander (ed. Bernadotte Perrin) XXXIII]

  • 'Alexander was predominantly Greek and definitely NOT an ancestor of contemporary Slavic Macedonians,'

    (Alfried Wieczorek, head of the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums of Mannheim.)

    In an interview with the German Press Agency dpa, Wieczorek said, 'The latest research shows very clearly yet again that the Macedonians in the days of Alexander were closely related to the contemporary Greeks.'

  • damn.....seeing him ride along the front of his army with that music playing is one of the most epic moments

  • MACEDONIAN'S, WHAT A GREAT FAMILY WE DECEND FROM....

  • It's insane to think Greece was one of the wealthiest,most powerful countries on that side of the planet but somehow over the past 3,000 years dissolved and tumbled into an economic abyss.....still a beautiful land though :)

  • @wisewarriormuzic It will be free as soon as it breaks free from the EU and tries seek its own economic destiny.

  • @BVargas78

    Haha! good luck with that. EU supplies most money in the world.

    the UK depends on it. Why would Greece be any different? Oh right, because Greece tried to bully Germany into giving them money.

    Sorry bums, it ain't gonna work.

  • @RyanBrooksby more like the eurocrats are trying to force another loan on the greeks. Most greeks want to default, but they also dont want any more money from germany.

  • i wish i could had being born in greece or in macedonia :(

  • And I will tell you what every men has known since the beginning of time, CONQUER YOUR FEAR; AND I PROMISE YOU'LL CONQUER DEATH.

  • @MySororityRulesAsIf He lured the Persian cavalry away then tied them up with his light infantry, he then attacked the undefended Persian flank. Politically his success was due to the nature of the Persian empire which had many city states just like Greece whom only held loyalty to whoever controlled the vast plains and deserts of the Persian empire. Alexander's army was more efficient and he didn't need high taxes so he was seen as a liberator.

  • @XxXMaxtorXxX

    did you own the land before 1913 peder? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO so how could anyone steal something from you when you did not own it? The truth shithead is that you tried to steal land from others and soon the rest of Pelagoania will be liberated by the vardarskian cunts like you!

  • @SkopjeTatarovski I bet you love fried potatoes!!!!

  • @engoria Ancient Macedonia was greek, but the land before it was Macedonia was also inhabited by ancient illyrian type people who were indo european but not greek. The greeks conquered them in the early days of Macedonia, and most the ruling class, city dwellwers and land owners were greek. But some of the people, especially the hillmen were of illyrian stock, yet they had been hellenised to some extent.

  • @BVargas78

    only the upper part was inhabited by the people u said. also i do not believe in the indoeuropean theory cause it has no real eveidence and it's contradicted by many ancient sources. Greetings!

  • @engoria No Macedonia is Macedonia , Greece is greece!!!Viva Macedonia!!! but you have Zews, Ares, Hermes, Hercules, Achiles, and others, but Alexander is Macedonian D

  • @ALExaNDrosMegasGreat Alexander Macedonian is GREEK (And this is from a Bulgarian) !

  • @ALExaNDrosMegasGreat yes alexandrovski is ...Alexander the Great i doubt it...slavs remain slavs and should be proud about it....you a slavic nation are not proud for your descent .....sad but true.FOR THE GLORY..... OF GREECE!!!!! 6:56

  • the language that Persians are speaking at 4:03 is not Persian and sounds very stupid.

  • HAHAHA FYUROMians cry for their nonexistent ancestors as being Macedonians. Pour fellas, the only time Alexander set foot in your lands was during his expeditions to slaughter barbarians that threatened the northern borders of Macedonia. Building a couple of statues and organizing carnival styles fests to celebrate your "macedonian" descent just makes worlds historians laugh, soon most world population will be laughing at you to.

  • "I was here this day at Guagamela for the freedom.... and glory, of Greece!"

  • Fro the Glory of Greece....

  • Alexander the Great, King of Macedonia...

    ...sounds incredibly Irish.

  • The last bit always gives me chills.

  • @Alexander29854 OH WHAT DO U HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE AEGEAN PART BEFORE THE BALKAN WARS MORON?!

  • @martin5555forever It’s a great privilege for you im answering you fagot what about Aegean i live in it always was Hellenic the name Aegean it comes from the ancient Athenian King Aegeas father of Hicarus get lost now !

  • @Alexander29854 I'm not looking for an argument, I don't understand this fight. Didn't Macedonia along with city-states of Athens, Sparta, Arcadia, etc. create the nation of Greece because they decided to unify, right? Wasn't all of Macedonia inside and part of Greece at one time? You don't all speak the same language? I'm no expert, I just want to know.

  • @TheJourney88 You are right my friend yes Macedonia is historically Hellenic province as long as Sparta Thessaly Epirus Thrace Aegean Crete Ionian etc. Yes the name Macedonia itself is Hellenic it comes from the name of the northern Hellenic tribe Macedni and its 2500 to 3000 years old all the descriptions monuments etc of that time are in the Hellenic language. And now please i would like to know what is you don’t understand?

  • @Alexander29854 If you all like this Alexander story, you should watch Reign: the conqueror, it's posted on here on youtube.  It's animation in the future with most of the same characters. Not 100% history accurate but I liked it.

  • @martin5555forever Dont talk to me about history you shit the name history it self is Hellenic dont put it in your dirty mouth SLAVIC PIG

  • REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

  • @pancevski REPUBLIC OF MONKEYDONIA 

  • I thought it was "King of Heir" not "King of air"

    air makes no sense

  • Continuation: Any modern assumption, Greek or Macedon, that Alexander is in fact a Greek or a Macedonian, is total horsecrap. This is about what people want to believe, and believing has absolutely nothing to do with science. Modern sentiments of nationalism amount to bullshit when applied to historical science. Cut it out: whichever side you are on: you're wrong.

    Hug.

  • At this time in history, there are no Greeks. Those who considered themselves Hellenic, the Athenians for example, looked down on the northern parts of what is now called Greece. They considered them barbarians and were very suprised and embarrased to get their asses kicked at Chaeronea by this guy Phillipos and his son Alexandros. These last two however, did consider themselves part of the Hellenic community and strived to convince others of the same.

  • its godly how alexander with 40k men conquered an army of 250k+ men

  • dont ever kill cow macedonian

  • Albanian master race reporting in

  • @CINTERPOL Yeah uh this is the rest of Humanity telling you that no one cares.

  • AND FUCKING GLORY OF GREECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ZITO ELLADA KAI MAKEDONIA!

  • [Professor Ernst Badian]

    "We have now become accustomed to regarding

    the ancient Macedonians as NORTHERN GREEKS."

  • thumbs up if you're a persian.

  • fucjk you gayreeks

    macedonia one and only

  • @drumercoka Another f...ckin hero who f...cks only behind the screen of his computer... hei dumpass you are a Slav...If Alexander was a Slav his name would be Igor....F...ckin idiots....Here is the site of a wordwide encyclopedia to know about history of your origin.... wikipedia slavic people origins (i can't write the whole adreess)

    Take Your Blinders Off...it's not your fault...it's what your country taught you...end of speaking...

  • @drumercoka

    Yes, ancient Macedonia is one and only one,

    and it is in Greece, and Macedonia is

    Greece's largest province, and home

    of the ancient macedonians who were a

    GREEK TRIBE.

  • 6:50 Vardarskians you are so damn pathetic

    youtube.com/watch?v=uhMOY-w4mc­g

  • 4:17 "we are here today as Macedonian free man" long live Republic of Macedonia !!!!!

  • @gechskin

    Actually, here the film is referring to the ancient

    Macedonians who were Greeks. Macedonia

    of course is Greece's largest province and home

    of the ancient Macedonians . You are from FYRoM aka 'The Former Yugoslav

    Republic of Macedonia', and you are Bulgarian speaking

    ethnic Slavs who re-named yourselves 'macedonian.

    thanks to Tito. In fact you only came into Europe

    in the 7th century AD. That is 2000 years later.

  • its comic, sons of the bulgarians are calling their self mocedonia and their king is alexander.

    alexander is a greek king and maybe is the best king ain the all history.

    greetings from turkey

  • i think Achilles has met his match

  • what an inspiring speech! for the Freedom!

  • Zeus be With us!!!!

  • Alexander The Great self identified as a Greek and so did his ancestor Alexander I. FYROMIANS should shut up and the Albanians should fight FYROM again.

  • Alexander was albanian !!

  • @luftim no he was an Aztec

  • @Alexander29854 no he was greek -_-  LMFAO

  • Ok because I got bored lets get some facts straight. A nation that was formed at 1992 cant fight for macedonia with any reasonable arguments. Pella was and still is a greek city and all of the left things that were writen they were in ancient GREEK for crying out loud even the name FYROM is a gift u unhistorical idiots

  • Lol. Way to rip off Braveheart.

  • its not a bloody speer its a pike lol

  • "..........of GREECE!" ΣΚΟΠΙΑΝΟΙ ΚΑΙ ΑΛΛΟΙ ΔΙΑΒΑΣΤΕ ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑ "ΕΣΤΙΝ ΟΥΝ ΕΛΛΑΣ ΚΑΙ Η ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ"!!!!

  • Alexander the III of Macedon, son of Philip the II of Macedon and Olympias of Epirus, from his father side descent from the Argead Dynasty, a royal house that has as patriarch Hercules...the name of the macedonian royal dynasty Argead means from Argos(the ancient city in southern Greece), from his mother side he descents from the Royal House of the Molossians of Epirus, the molossian dynasty had as patriarch Molossus son of Neoptolemus, grandson of Achilles...

  • HE was ALBANIAN. only an albanian can make that speach!!

  • Well lets see, Alexander was born in 356 BC in Pella. His beliefes was for the greek gods and he was speaking greek. He was the son of Philip and Olympias. Amyntas and Eurydice was Philip's parents. Philip’s greek ancestry is proved beyond doubt. Alexander has justifiably been used for centuries as a symbol of Greek civilisation. Everything sounds greek! So what now? Do you still think that Alexander could be something less than Greek if you imagine Greece's great history. Read history fyromians

  • The pieces are soldiers,engine of war,with a king in their midst.They advance,outflank,fall back in defense,capture or captured in their turn.Clearly the game of chess grew out from clash and tumult of real battle such as the one at Gaugamela.The chess board,the battlefield.

  • for freedom & glooooooory of greece zues be with us  i like this part.

  • @sam1978fl

    and also: "conquer your fear..... and I promise you, you'll conquer death!"

  • Watch here 4:16 , and fuck the Greeks

    Alexander is Macedonian hero

    no one can change history ! macedonia forever !

    Macedonian glory

  • @Ceptaun

    don't speak ... you know NOTHING about Macedonia.

    search first the true history, go to a museum. and then you will understand what mean PROPAGANDA.

    Thieves of history!

  • @Ceptaun Ah, is this your proof to make yourself believe that you are Macedonian when the same time you ignoring all the rest? So if you had the same borders with Thrace you could pretend you are Thracian or even Athenian, Spartan and so goes on. Fyrom's pseudonation history starts in 1946. Before 1944 the area was called Vardarska Banovina. It was Tito in 1944 that created Socialist Republic of Macedonia. However, Macedonia was already the name of one of Greece 's northern provinces.

  • dang this makes me want to play Rome: Total War

  • The pagan ritutal FTMFW!

  • What you on about? Alexander's mother was Ilirian which was the Albanian Empire back in the days...and that makes him 1/2 Albanian and not Greek at all...only because he spoke Greek and prayed to the same Gods as Greeks doesn't make him Greek...12/3 of the world is Christian and prays to God but you don't hear The Vatican say they are Vatican's...LOL

  • @Horenius

    His mother was Ilirian? Albanian Empire????? For God's sake, I almost lost my sight when i saw some comments in this video..

  • @39asdasd yeah well too shame you didn't lost it...would have made us all a favour not reading anymore unargumented replies...

  • @Horenius If some people continue to wander around youtube, making ignorant comments about my country's legacy (and theirs too) i might loose it eventually.

    I dont feel it's necessary to make an argument about Alexander, (besides, the 500 letters limit would prevent me)... I only want to say that his mother was not Illirian. Not by a long shot.

  • @Horenius you shouldn't wait from some guy in youtube to make an argument about Alexander's origins... Go read a scientific book.

  • suck my balls greeks stop lying about the macedonians and tell that you still have the fear from them since alexandar bit your pusyes and burnt whole cities down there thebe and athens if he was greek why he would burn his cities and kill his people stupid greek monkeys :D long live Macedonia

  • Envelop him, Besus...

  • @TheNytdj LOL!

  • Alright, didn't know Alexander was irish ;)

  • i find it funny he sais here ( 2300 B.C.) for teh freedom and glory of greece, eventho the therm or name Greece came into history in the 1870s, the years when the greek flag was invented before 1870 there never was any greek, there was hellens, sparta and peleponesia. They all were in todays Greece and had a demokratic republik as a ruling way, and macedonia was a kingdom ruled by a king.

    im just sayin

  • @patka1982 if you ever did a proper history lesson you would find out first that out of all the city-states in ancient greece only a handful had democracy (one of them athens which is the most known), all the rest of them had either kings(especially sparta) or a few nobles that managed the cities, also the people that lived in macedon were related to the people of peleponesia and crete because they were from the same tribes that came down from the north who were called Dorians.

  • @patka1982 also the correct term of greece comes from the french who called the people of greece  "grecus" which meant "thiefs" or of that sort because of their poverty. the proper name to call greece is Hellas and that term existed back from the age of the battle of thermopylae where for the first time the people of greece stood united and saw that they were related to each other, since then there were people in greece who wished to unite the greeks but a great civil war broke out.

  • @patka1982 The one who gave that ideal flesh and bones was Phillip the second of Macedon who united the greeks after he forced many of them (especially Athens, Sparta and Thebes who were the main powers in the area) or simply allied with them in order to fight back to the persian empire which kept the greeks busy by funding their wars and keeping them separated from each other. So that makes you think why would Phillip want to unite the greeks if he wasn't a greek himself?

  • @patka1982 2300 bc? This happened in 331bc...

  • conquer your fear, and I promise you'll conquer death

    no words

  • MITHRA!

  • Ελλάδος ελευθερίαν τε και δόξαν (for the freedom and glory of Greece).

  • We know that macedonia is greek, alxxz, the macedonians spoke greek and they had the same gods. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has nothing to do with the ancient Macedonia.

  • Seems like modern Greece is Macedonia and ancient Greece together

  • @Trib87 People who think alexander was a slav are stupid and if they use the FYROM flag to represent him they are politicaly inncorect

  • @Trib87 you don't know nothing trib

  • @Trib87 But we do with ur mom :D
