The dude was the tip of his military spear, always the first one to charge in with his army trying to keep up. He was mortally wounded in combat several times throughout his life, and refused to die each time. I really love the story of the Siege of Tyre, in which his army, upon arriving at the island Tyre (an “unsiegable” fortress at the time), wanted to set up camp and rest before building the land bridge out to the island. Alex granted the men their wish, allowing them a night’s rest, but he himself started hauling dirt and rocks immediately, before they even set up camp. His troops were so inspired that they all joined him hauling dirt and building the bridge.

Yes you are right. Alexander suffered the worst injury during the attack on Mali, where an arrow nailed his breast plate to his chest. The Macedonian surgeons had a hard time removing the arrowhead from his ribcage, and Alexander may have had a collapsed lung that was never reinflated. He was never quite the same after that grievous injury, and he died a year later.

@@andreav318 Greeks have always been a little taller than most other nations. I am185 and this is not very tall in Greece, its good but within the normal range. In Alexanders era all humanity was shorter.
Great depiction. Although his height being short may of been a misunderstanding most of it coming from the fact that Alexander's feet not touching the floor when sitting on Darius's throne which turned out that Darius was actually incredibly tall and described to be a giant of a man. Also Alexander described to be shorter than Hephaestion who was the tallest out of all the Generals.
He was described as short for the time in general and way dhorter then his father who was 6'2 or 6'3. That is hat happenes when a tall man has kids with a tiny woman. Oh well ...he was still far greater then them all.
The ordinary, every man look modeled on a sculpture said to depict Alexander at the time makes him so real. This reality makes the history about him even more stunning.
That is a false interpretation in the video. "Greece" was created by the Bavarians at about 1829 and were given King Otto the Bavarian as the first "Greek" king, it never existed in the BC era. In the ancient period below Macedonia there were cities such as Athens, Thebes etc, who were "hellenes", which is a religious/cultural term, not a race of people. The real "Greeks" were the Danaians, who were arrivals to the Peloponnese and islands from Africa/Arabia in about 600BC, and who were marauders/pirates. The Romans first coined the term "Greek" which meant foreigner. Before then, as well as after, from the Danube to the Peloponnese there were aryan Macedonians/Pelasgians who inhabited that region. The country Greece today is a mixture of various nationalities such as Arvanite/Albanian, Turk, Romei, Vlach and sub-saharan people, where as a result of the first Greek constitution, 'every Christian person inhabiting the newly formed country of Greece and its occupied territories are to be known only as Greek', regardless of what real nationality they previously belonged.
@@danielm3670 Interesting. I've heard that the current Greek people are not related to the ancient "Greeks". But since the country is filled with people, wouldn't a percentage be related to the ancient "hellenic" people? Wouldn't some genetics remain? And, isn't the current Greek culture unique to that country?
@@jeffgoesrandom4217 The term "hellenic" was created by western European corrupt entities, the same people who created the country of Greece, it does not exist in any authentic ancient sources from any ancient period. The genetics of the people who inhabited the Balkan peninsula in the BC era were generally one and the same, prior to the arrival of the real "Greeks", and also to this day, and they were Pelasgians. This term generally means white/aryan people, connected through the kingdom of Macedonia. Some of today's people who call themselves Greek may also have some connection, but it is a country that is mixed and has taken on board the new nationality of Greek people.
@@danielm3670 So there is now according to you, a current unique Greek culture? Also, if you know, why did Lord Byron fight for Greek independence ? He seemed to think he was fighting to re-establish the ancient "Greek" cultural identity...
@@jeffgoesrandom4217 Lord Byron and other British explorers went over to that part of the Ottoman empire looking for the descendants of the ancient hellenes, but did not find any, instead found predominantly communities of Arvanite/Albanian people who have settled there over the time, mainly brought over by the Turks. Lord Byron and such British "elites" were corrupt and themselves deceived by the false german/nordic school of ancient history. This is not according to me this is fact if you delve further into research. The western mainstream school of ancient history is generally very falsified and bias toward the artificial country of Greece. There was also no such thing as ancient Greek culture as taught until now, it was instead Macedonian/Pelasgian. I can on and on. One good channel on youtube is called Aleksandar Donski History Channel, with many factual and accurate historical information about these topics.
those depiction were from later roman and greek writers that lived in the 2nd and 3rd century ad, a time roman emperors dye there hair with gold dust to make it looked yellow, so they applied that style of there time to depict alexander, the alexander mosaic in pompeii on the other hand portray a mediterranean looking alexander with dark hair, the pompeii alexander mosaic is a copy of a greek original and it was made around 150-100 bc therefore the mosaic depict a more accurate description of alexander than later roman and greek writers. if you look closely this depiction almost have similar features as the one represent in the alexander mosaic.
@@christophergraves6725 no ancient sources describe the caesars as blondes, the only source is suetonius which describe some of the caesars having subflavum hair which some aryan historians say it means blonde-yellow hair, other historians argue this by saying subflavum means "less than yellow" since flavum in latin is yellow, this means the caesars and some of the emperors have less than yellow hair, so they probly have light brownish hair, analysis of pigments on some roman emperor statues showed light brown coloring, so they clearly not scandanavian looking, you should also look at ancient roman and greek mosaics, they pretty much describe ancient roman life and the people of the empire, most of the imagery show romans or greeks with brunette or brownish hair, suetonius didnt even describe caligula as having blonde-yellow hair, he describe caligula having a habit of spreading gold dust over his body and hair, later emperors dye there hair with gold dust, this doesnt mean they want to be blonde northern european looking, they do this cause they wanted to look like apollo the sun god.
@@christophergraves6725 you do know homer never describe helen as blonde, homer description is helen has pale skin, beautiful hair and a long rope thats about it, it was later historians that added there own flavor to helen appearance, achilles by homer have light colored hair, that doesnt mean he blonde.
Excellent. What is particularly interesting I think is that if you take this modern portrait and compare to the reconstruction of the skull believed to be that of Philip, Alexander's father, there really is something of a family resemblance.
he looks like an average guy you saw on daily basis... crazy to think this man is an undefeated warrior that conquers a lot of place and expands his empire as far as asia..
These are quite wonderful . I only wish the complexions of most of these men who lived largely outdoors reflected the darker, tanned skin tones I would imagine they had.
0:45 what's interesting about the lyssipus bust of Alexander is that it looks like it was reconstructed in the modern era. A major portion of the face was missing, and you can see the area where the "new face" was fused into the old one as the marble is shiner and has more detail starting from his nose. Therefore, I don't think the lyssipus statue is accurate of how Alexander actually looked like. I think the one that shows his lion's mane hair is much more representative of him. Also imo, his eyes were more hazel: one was hazel brown, and the other was greenish blue.
Given that all statues of Alexander are instantly recognizable due to what must have been very characteristic facial forms, e.g. the unusually full lips, round head, large eyes, thick, curly, unkempt hair etc. - I would never guess that this is Alexander.
This is excellent presentation based on his most realistic image known to hystorians. It is also well-known nowadays that his real name was Lesandar Karanovic being full blooded Serbian. As such he was fascinated by Nino Belov also Serbian, and his conquests in 2200 BC. Nino/his wife , were founders of Babylon which Lesandar chose for his new capital city ...Hope this would solve the dilemmas in comments made previously . Many Thanks for your work !
Alexander was not “short”: according to the ancient sources, he was tough and athletic with a well proportioned body, but noticeably shorter than some of the Macedonian ‘Companions’ who comprised his close circle of aristocratic retainers. This appears to have singled him out as being rather unremarkable in appearance - at least with respect to height. He is also noted as being considerably shorter than his very tall foes, Darius III and the Indian king Porus. Apart from this, given his time and place, Alexander was probably of average stature - perhaps between 5’ 6” - 5’ 8” or so.
@@dorianphilotheates3769 There is a TH-cam clip with millions of views that claims that Alex was 5 feet tall without any shred of evidence or sources. And people blindly believe it and made fun of Alexander and called him the dwarf on the comment section. Many people are gullible and lazy, others are very jealous of Alex.
Good job I read that the one Eye was Blue like the Ocean and the other was black like the Night! Thx from Greece is Honor that you give the Time for this Got bless You !
For information, the only mention dating from Antiquity that Alexander had heterochromia is among the Pseudo Callisthenes (3rd century AD) who inspired Alexander Romance, no other ancient source mentions it. Great job anyway, I experienced a moment of emotion seeing my hero...

Whaaaattt???? 😅 He was not killed by his wife, his mother and his wife were in very good terms, and his mother would have killed her if she ever did anything to her precious son… as she killed his father. Alexandros was killed most likely by his Greek men, because he abandoned the Greeks ways and embraced the Persian ways, which were considered barbaric. He started wearing Persian clothes and even demanded that people kneel in front of him like he was god, like the Persians did, in Greek mind Alexandros had committed hybris
"Blonde" had a different meaning at the time. The range is wide. From light brown hair to almost Nordic blonde. I'm a Greek redhead and even in my case some people think I'm blonde while the rest see me as a redhead.
Than is because Northern Greece is where Macedonians still live, they are not Greeks.I know my ancestors are from that part and all of them had light skins and light blue eyes, they were not Greeks but Macedonians for many generations
The first inhabitants in Macedonia were Paeonians, Trachians and illirians in 4.000 B.C. Maybe you are all descendants of Macedonia …. Modern Macedonians are ancient natives on the Balkans, there they existed as a separate Slavic group and for the longer period saved the most Archaic forms of the ancient Slavic language used by the Pelasgians, Veneti, Goths, Sarmathians, Trachians, Trybals…” (Johann Georg Von Hahn:” Albanesische Studien:”1854)

There are many theories about what caused Alexander's death. Some say he died from West Nile disease, of which black birds were the vectors, some of poisoning (etcetera). I believe he died from quartan fever.
I was reading a book that says the Indians poisoned him and that they had this whole secret plan of infiltration and deception that they had to keep locked up and secret for thousands of years until this guy decided to write a book about it. It’s written by an Indian though so idk.
@@Sikandros well I think all of that is nonsense. If there is a source for that conspiracy theory, that source is definitely SPURIOUS and belong to the pseudepigrapha (FALSE writing) genre. And I'll tell you why. None of the PRIMARY SOURCES mentioned such a tale. The EARLIEST history on Alexander came from men who lived in his era eg Cleitarchus and Hieronymus(first century B.C.E) and the later writer, Diodorus Siculus (mid century AD) who used their source for his history about Alexander (the Anabasis) did not mention such a tale either. Alaxender was a colossal figure even in his day, and CERTAINLY a tale as HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT as this, would have been mentioned by them. And not even the later biographers of Alexander (eg Arrian, and Quintus Curtius) who also used sources EARLIER to them, mentioned such a tale either.Therefore this Indian book would make for Entertainment reading ( only) and not to be considered intellectual literature.

Historians at the time reported him as having blond hair. So did the reseearcher for the movie "Alexander." And he was a blond in the movie. What happened??????
The term used in the ancient sources refers to light brown/strawberry blond hair. And you see this in Greece even nowadays, my best friend passes as "blond" in Greece, but I don't think anyone would consider him that e.g. in Finland.
@@pitsinokaki yes what I'm saying is what blonde might look to ancient Greeks wouldn't be Scandinavian it would be what Scandinavian would see as light brown or dark blonde
@@pol_signal_official1442 Yes, exactly! Couldn't agree more. People don't understand that although there are blond Greeks, they are not the predominant type and that "blond" does not typically mean "Scandinavian blond" in Greece.
1) the most realistic icon of alexander was in mosaic o Pompeii 100 years after his death. Of course this is not perfect but is more near than old blonde one like lady gaga ..
@@gelisgeo1309 No it isn't. That Mosaic is far more glorified and latinised by the Romans. As stated by Plutarch "The outward appearance of Alexander is best represented by the statues of him which Lysippus made" and the bust used in this video is a survicing of Lysippus' reconstruction.
@@megasalexandrostv7077 No the mosaic is 100 years after Alexandros death ..when his icon was fresh and everywhere . is still colorized and gives a very clear characters of greek and persian army. The statues are copy of copy of copy of copy in the roman era
Could you do a facial reconstruction of Hephaestion? I think you would be the first not many people seem to be interested in what he looked like. I can't find one yet he was such a big part of Alexander's life 🤔
Far from the idealized Heraclès / Apollonian features given by the statuary. What was the average height for a man at the period ? Some wrote 5'6" or 5'8" (1m68 to 1m72), is this not a bit tall ?
Alexander's face should be redone, because in reality from the writings, he was blond tending to tawny, then reddish hair, he didn't have so much beard that he told his generals to shave so as not to be the only hairless and above all it was the eyes they were of two different colors, but one was blue and the other green / hazelnut. These are the official sources in Athens.

You have done a great job! The face is the same as the sculpture regardless what people are telling about length, color or eyes or hairstyle . It's all about the face.
Geography and genetics are extremely interesting. Since Alexander the great passed away 323 BC. I think it’s interesting how genetics travels throughout the globe in such interesting ways. Robert Sepher talks a lot about this.
My first comment is how amazed I was to see the face of Alexander the Great. As someone who loves history this is amazing to me. I’m entitled to my opinion that I believe he looks like a young Vladimir Putin. If he looks like your family great! Kudos to you. If you couldn’t tell I was kidding with you and trying to joke. That is a shame. Fortunately I love history and I have sense of humor. I might not be an authority on the subject. But the authorities change their stances on things all the time. And there are mysteries that we still can’t figure out. I hope you have a good day.

Idk Greeks are typically quite short. My father is 5’6 and my grandmother is 4’10. You can be charming and short. I promise 😝
@@andreav318 That was the point. This doesn't look anything like the bust.
@@dianartimus ah I see 👍
@@andreav318 Greeks have always been a little taller than most other nations. I am185 and this is not very tall in Greece, its good but within the normal range. In Alexanders era all humanity was shorter.
Like the legend, he actually was a solid, studly, masculine, looking guy, in life.
so happy you got to Alexander!! would love to see an image of him based on the other statue!!
I figured his hair would be longer and curlier
@@Mr.56Goldtop It was rather reddish blond, aka strawberry blond.
Lips fuller as well
Yeah the hair in the sculpture is more wavy and some minor things on the face like the lips are different.
He was blond .
He wasn't blonde,this is just a myth. He belonged to mediterranean race, his hair was like that but maybe little more curly
Great depiction. Although his height being short may of been a misunderstanding most of it coming from the fact that Alexander's feet not touching the floor when sitting on Darius's throne which turned out that Darius was actually incredibly tall and described to be a giant of a man. Also Alexander described to be shorter than Hephaestion who was the tallest out of all the Generals.
He was described as short for the time in general and way dhorter then his father who was 6'2 or 6'3. That is hat happenes when a tall man has kids with a tiny woman. Oh well ...he was still far greater then them all.
Wasn’t Phillip 5ft 10-11 , as they supposedly have his bones ?
Still tall for the time
Cool ! And thanck you ...can't wait to see more !
Your work is really wonderful, greetings from Peru.
Fun Fact : The argead dynasty ( which alexander the great is part of ) actually came from the city of argos in the Peloponnese
Did you really tell Alexander the Great to stand out of your sun, Diogenes?!
The ordinary, every man look modeled on a sculpture said to depict Alexander at the time makes him so real. This reality makes the history about him even more stunning.
That is a false interpretation in the video. "Greece" was created by the Bavarians at about 1829 and were given King Otto the Bavarian as the first "Greek" king, it never existed in the BC era. In the ancient period below Macedonia there were cities such as Athens, Thebes etc, who were "hellenes", which is a religious/cultural term, not a race of people. The real "Greeks" were the Danaians, who were arrivals to the Peloponnese and islands from Africa/Arabia in about 600BC, and who were marauders/pirates. The Romans first coined the term "Greek" which meant foreigner. Before then, as well as after, from the Danube to the Peloponnese there were aryan Macedonians/Pelasgians who inhabited that region. The country Greece today is a mixture of various nationalities such as Arvanite/Albanian, Turk, Romei, Vlach and sub-saharan people, where as a result of the first Greek constitution, 'every Christian person inhabiting the newly formed country of Greece and its occupied territories are to be known only as Greek', regardless of what real nationality they previously belonged.
@@danielm3670 Interesting. I've heard that the current Greek people are not related to the ancient "Greeks". But since the country is filled with people, wouldn't a percentage be related to the ancient "hellenic" people? Wouldn't some genetics remain? And, isn't the current Greek culture unique to that country?
@@jeffgoesrandom4217 The term "hellenic" was created by western European corrupt entities, the same people who created the country of Greece, it does not exist in any authentic ancient sources from any ancient period. The genetics of the people who inhabited the Balkan peninsula in the BC era were generally one and the same, prior to the arrival of the real "Greeks", and also to this day, and they were Pelasgians. This term generally means white/aryan people, connected through the kingdom of Macedonia. Some of today's people who call themselves Greek may also have some connection, but it is a country that is mixed and has taken on board the new nationality of Greek people.
@@danielm3670 So there is now according to you, a current unique Greek culture? Also, if you know, why did Lord Byron fight for Greek independence ? He seemed to think he was fighting to re-establish the ancient "Greek" cultural identity...
@@jeffgoesrandom4217 Lord Byron and other British explorers went over to that part of the Ottoman empire looking for the descendants of the ancient hellenes, but did not find any, instead found predominantly communities of Arvanite/Albanian people who have settled there over the time, mainly brought over by the Turks. Lord Byron and such British "elites" were corrupt and themselves deceived by the false german/nordic school of ancient history. This is not according to me this is fact if you delve further into research. The western mainstream school of ancient history is generally very falsified and bias toward the artificial country of Greece. There was also no such thing as ancient Greek culture as taught until now, it was instead Macedonian/Pelasgian. I can on and on. One good channel on youtube is called Aleksandar Donski History Channel, with many factual and accurate historical information about these topics.
In ancient texts, Alexander is generally described as having very blond hair. His head is constantly tilting.
those depiction were from later roman and greek writers that lived in the 2nd and 3rd century ad, a time roman emperors dye there hair with gold dust to make it looked yellow, so they applied that style of there time to depict alexander, the alexander mosaic in pompeii on the other hand portray a mediterranean looking alexander with dark hair, the pompeii alexander mosaic is a copy of a greek original and it was made around 150-100 bc therefore the mosaic depict a more accurate description of alexander than later roman and greek writers. if you look closely this depiction almost have similar features as the one represent in the alexander mosaic.
@@christophergraves6725 no ancient sources describe the caesars as blondes, the only source is suetonius which describe some of the caesars having subflavum hair which some aryan historians say it means blonde-yellow hair, other historians argue this by saying subflavum means "less than yellow" since flavum in latin is yellow, this means the caesars and some of the emperors have less than yellow hair, so they probly have light brownish hair, analysis of pigments on some roman emperor statues showed light brown coloring, so they clearly not scandanavian looking, you should also look at ancient roman and greek mosaics, they pretty much describe ancient roman life and the people of the empire, most of the imagery show romans or greeks with brunette or brownish hair, suetonius didnt even describe caligula as having blonde-yellow hair, he describe caligula having a habit of spreading gold dust over his body and hair, later emperors dye there hair with gold dust, this doesnt mean they want to be blonde northern european looking, they do this cause they wanted to look like apollo the sun god.
@@christophergraves6725 you do know homer never describe helen as blonde, homer description is helen has pale skin, beautiful hair and a long rope thats about it, it was later historians that added there own flavor to helen appearance, achilles by homer have light colored hair, that doesnt mean he blonde.
The term used in the ancient sources refers to light brown, not blond hair.
Finally!
I knew he would do a video of Alexander the great.
Keep up the good work! 👍
Thx mate ☺️
Im from pella and i look like him boys
I'm glad you used the Azara Herm. My only nitpick I'd say is keeping the hair wavy and having larger hair, aside from that however great work.
Excellent. What is particularly interesting I think is that if you take this modern portrait and compare to the reconstruction of the skull believed to be that of Philip, Alexander's father, there really is something of a family resemblance.
Looks great and realistic
he looks like an average guy you saw on daily basis... crazy to think this man is an undefeated warrior that conquers a lot of place and expands his empire as far as asia..
Yeap, he was close but smthg s missing
Alexander is the greatest general this planet will ever know.
You are a very good creator and that you listened to the comments. You slow down the captions. Good job my friend.
These are quite wonderful . I only wish the complexions of most of these men who lived largely outdoors reflected the darker, tanned skin tones I would imagine they had.
He looks very handsome yet intelligent & introspective... The type of person who carefully considers his words before speaking...
Amazing. As always.
Thank you! Cheers!
You have done a great job resemblance of our ancestors. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
This is an awesome reconstruction!
Excellent work 👍 Bravo!
Really interesting - it would've been great to have Iron Maiden's ', Alexander the Great' as a background music 👍🤘
Finally Alexander ! :)
Alexander king of Macedonia !!!
King otto king of Greece and creator of Greece and name in 1829 A.D.🎉
0:45 what's interesting about the lyssipus bust of Alexander is that it looks like it was reconstructed in the modern era. A major portion of the face was missing, and you can see the area where the "new face" was fused into the old one as the marble is shiner and has more detail starting from his nose. Therefore, I don't think the lyssipus statue is accurate of how Alexander actually looked like. I think the one that shows his lion's mane hair is much more representative of him.
Also imo, his eyes were more hazel: one was hazel brown, and the other was greenish blue.
Great job, thank you! Man, he looks great with that short beard 😍
You should do king leonidas , Achilles , Odysseus and some others from troy
THE GREEK ALEXANDER.-
Given that all statues of Alexander are instantly recognizable due to what must have been very characteristic facial forms, e.g. the unusually full lips, round head, large eyes, thick, curly, unkempt hair etc. - I would never guess that this is Alexander.
Agreed. It’s a nice enough looking guy, but just bears little to no resemblance to the figure depicted on busts of Alexander.
This work here doesn't match the statue, especially the lips are fully wrong !
I love your channel, do you do viking kings?

Call him short, but he was towering over all the dead bodies, he managed to kill. Besides, nobody knows the height of Alexander.

You have thinned the lips a bit and also made the face less strong and quite texture less
Compared to what? 😳
@@ge-8135 compared to image in coins and other artifacts
Okay,... he looks like Jamie Lannister, now I can sleep well
You have to view his father ' s tomb and see the small scale figurine found in that tomb of
Alexander . Impressive looks ,
strong face .
This is excellent presentation based on his most realistic image known to hystorians. It is also well-known nowadays that his real name was
Lesandar Karanovic being full blooded Serbian.
As such he was fascinated by Nino Belov also Serbian, and his conquests in 2200 BC.
Nino/his wife , were founders of Babylon which Lesandar chose for his new capital city ...Hope this would solve the dilemmas in comments made previously .
Many Thanks for your work !

Alexander was not “short”: according to the ancient sources, he was tough and athletic with a well proportioned body, but noticeably shorter than some of the Macedonian ‘Companions’ who comprised his close circle of aristocratic retainers. This appears to have singled him out as being rather unremarkable in appearance - at least with respect to height. He is also noted as being considerably shorter than his very tall foes, Darius III and the Indian king Porus. Apart from this, given his time and place, Alexander was probably of average stature - perhaps between 5’ 6” - 5’ 8” or so.
No, Alexander would have stood no more then 5’5 maybe even shorter.

@@theguywhoasked5591 Philip's human remains were found. According to the researchers the father of Alex was around 6 feet tall. So pretty tall.
@@dorianphilotheates3769 There is a TH-cam clip with millions of views that claims that Alex was 5 feet tall without any shred of evidence or sources. And people blindly believe it and made fun of Alexander and called him the dwarf on the comment section. Many people are gullible and lazy, others are very jealous of Alex.

For information, the only mention dating from Antiquity that Alexander had heterochromia is among the Pseudo Callisthenes (3rd century AD) who inspired Alexander Romance, no other ancient source mentions it. Great job anyway, I experienced a moment of emotion seeing my hero...

Great work. Can you make your text bigger like your previous vids pretty pleeeeease????
Alexander's face on the Lysippus statue has a bigger chin than your version of the face has.
Agree. Also thicker neck. And is the nose on the statue original, or a reconstruction?
@@annabanana7298 I'm not the one to answer that, but the nose does appear to have a different kind of surface texture, doesn't it?
Most probably he looks like Alex Volkanovski or Islam Machachev.

Whaaaattt???? 😅
He was not killed by his wife, his mother and his wife were in very good terms, and his mother would have killed her if she ever did anything to her precious son… as she killed his father.
Alexandros was killed most likely by his Greek men, because he abandoned the Greeks ways and embraced the Persian ways, which were considered barbaric. He started wearing Persian clothes and even demanded that people kneel in front of him like he was god, like the Persians did, in Greek mind Alexandros had committed hybris
can you make video about persian kings like cyrus and darius :)

Panagiotis Constantinou are there some Illyrian faces?
All the historical references say he had blonde hair. In Northern Greece today, you still see many blondes.
"Blonde" had a different meaning at the time. The range is wide. From light brown hair to almost Nordic blonde. I'm a Greek redhead and even in my case some people think I'm blonde while the rest see me as a redhead.
Than is because Northern Greece is where Macedonians still live, they are not Greeks.I know my ancestors are from that part and all of them had light skins and light blue eyes, they were not Greeks but Macedonians for many generations
@@gramcracker4326 Macedonians were Doric.
The first inhabitants in Macedonia were Paeonians, Trachians and illirians in 4.000 B.C.

Alexander was probably poisoned by his generals as they feared he was becoming too powerful.
There are many theories about what caused Alexander's death. Some say he died from West Nile disease, of which black birds were the vectors, some of poisoning (etcetera). I believe he died from quartan fever.
I was reading a book that says the Indians poisoned him and that they had this whole secret plan of infiltration and deception that they had to keep locked up and secret for thousands of years until this guy decided to write a book about it. It’s written by an Indian though so idk.
@@Sikandros well I think all of that is nonsense. If there is a source for that conspiracy theory, that source is definitely SPURIOUS and belong to the pseudepigrapha (FALSE writing) genre. And I'll tell you why. None of the PRIMARY SOURCES mentioned such a tale. The EARLIEST history on Alexander came from men who lived in his era eg Cleitarchus and Hieronymus(first century B.C.E) and the later writer, Diodorus Siculus (mid century AD) who used their source for his history about Alexander (the Anabasis) did not mention such a tale either. Alaxender was a colossal figure even in his day, and CERTAINLY a tale as HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT as this, would have been mentioned by them. And not even the later biographers of Alexander (eg Arrian, and Quintus Curtius) who also used sources EARLIER to them, mentioned such a tale either.Therefore this Indian book would make for Entertainment reading ( only) and not to be considered intellectual literature.
@@patrickjohnson1808 that’s what I was thinking I put it down after the second chapter. It’s called “ The murder of Alexander the Great, book 2: the secret war” by Ajith Kumar.
@@Sikandros Ok
Very good job! What software are you using?
Historians at the time reported him as having blond hair. So did the reseearcher for the movie "Alexander." And he was a blond in the movie.
What happened??????
Blonde in that period for them was smth like this they probably didn't see more blonde like Scandinavian
The term used in the ancient sources refers to light brown/strawberry blond hair. And you see this in Greece even nowadays, my best friend passes as "blond" in Greece, but I don't think anyone would consider him that e.g. in Finland.
@@pitsinokaki yes what I'm saying is what blonde might look to ancient Greeks wouldn't be Scandinavian it would be what Scandinavian would see as light brown or dark blonde
Colin Farrell totally shouldn't coloured that much his hair
@@pol_signal_official1442 Yes, exactly! Couldn't agree more. People don't understand that although there are blond Greeks, they are not the predominant type and that "blond" does not typically mean "Scandinavian blond" in Greece.
Can you also make one of Miltides and other Greek warriors too please, love this shesh
The statue looks manlier.
The lips have a different shape.
I usually like your videos but you could do better on this one!
I agree.
The hair should also be more wavy like the sculpture. Aside from that it's well done
1) the most realistic icon of alexander was in mosaic o Pompeii 100 years after his death. Of course this is not perfect but is more near than old blonde one like lady gaga ..
@@gelisgeo1309 No it isn't. That Mosaic is far more glorified and latinised by the Romans. As stated by Plutarch "The outward appearance of Alexander is best represented by the statues of him which Lysippus made" and the bust used in this video is a survicing of Lysippus' reconstruction.
@@megasalexandrostv7077 No the mosaic is 100 years after Alexandros death ..when his icon was fresh and everywhere . is still colorized and gives a very clear characters of greek and persian army. The statues are copy of copy of copy of copy in the roman era
Amazing thank you for ypur work..the past come to us bringing this people..
Could you do a facial reconstruction of Hephaestion? I think you would be the first not many people seem to be interested in what he looked like. I can't find one yet he was such a big part of Alexander's life 🤔
Seconded! He was said to be handsomer than Alexander.
Thank you!!!!!!!!
I wanna see another one with Alexander The Great. One where he's at least blonde.
Far from the idealized Heraclès / Apollonian features given by the statuary.
What was the average height for a man at the period ? Some wrote 5'6" or 5'8" (1m68 to 1m72), is this not a bit tall ?
Alexander's face should be redone, because in reality from the writings, he was blond tending to tawny, then reddish hair, he didn't have so much beard that he told his generals to shave so as not to be the only hairless and above all it was the eyes they were of two different colors, but one was blue and the other green / hazelnut. These are the official sources in Athens.
The music ?
Not distinguished looking enough for a world conqueror. Looks like Bret from the communications department.
