In the footsteps of Alexander the Great
In this award winning adventure Micheal Wood embarks on a 2000 mile journey in the foot steps of Alexander's triumphal march from Greece to India. Travelling with Lebanese traders, Iranian pilgrims and Afghan guerillas, by jeep, train, boat, camel and on foot, he interweaves the momentous events of the past with present day reality and brings us new insights into a man whose myth and acheivements still resonate down the centuries.
"We saw things I can scarcely believe. We took shelter for the night with an Afghan warlord who had delivered pizzas in the United States, and were hauled off to jail more than once. It was one of the great experiences of my life" - Michael Wood

What are you talking about? This has nothing to do with Race. News flash read up on the Bactrian and Greco Indian kingdoms. Kingdoms where Greeks and non Greeks worked together peacefully. I Wont argue history with someone who is ignorant. The thing about history is we base our arguments on facts NOT opinions. Thats how adults argue and learn a thing or two. Fact Hellenism reached India it even went as far as Bangladesh. I'll sum it up this way in Afghani cuisine Baklava is a staple desert 0_o
I really do not know what you are talking about ? . I did not say that it was connected to any race.
All I said was without this so called Graco- influence , Asia could manage on its own. For Asia is a continent of several old civilisations.
Think of China. Alexander never went there, and hence it was not Hellenized. But they are still a great civilisation even after 4000 yrs later . Same applies to Japan.
Okay so whats your point? That the Greeks didn't influence all of Asia or even a fraction of it? No shit no one here is arguing otherwise. In other news the earth is round and water is wet. Oh and btw the Bactrians traded heavily with modern day China. its called cultural diffusion.

Asia has a much older civilisation.
Hellenism is good for the other white countires like Britain who were in the caves when Asia flourished .
