Alexander's Greatest Battle (1/4)

Michael Wood travels through Syria and Iraq to uncover the story of Alexander the Great's decisive battle against the the Persian Empire in 331 BCE.

Ancient writers agreed that it was fought somewhere near the city of Irbil in northern Iraq, but the exact location has never been discovered.

To reconstruct the campaign, he follows Alexander's route through Damascus and Alleppo to the river Euphrates in Syria and travels into Northern Iraq with the British and US military.

Exploring a landscape long barred to outsiders by Saddam Hussein, he carries out a detailed reconnaissance on the ground with US forces on patrol between Mosul and Kurdistan.

I agree with you!

[rockfellia]

It is indeed a fascinating journey into history, the presence of Alexander is so powerful, that it looks like he just passed by those places..

[EmilijaajilimE]

@SPARTANsenator8 I think that damask is really the oldest city in the world with continuous inhabitation but surely argos is the oldest in europe.
