This dude out here naming every other city after himself
Awesome that you include the battles and who Alexander fought.
Εξαιρετικό βίντεο Κώστα! ένας τεράστιος ηγέτης που έκανε ασύλληπτες εκστρατείες!
If I only had a dollar for every city Alexander founded and named after himself...
Didn't he name a city after his horse too.
Πολύ καλό!
Nice video mapping animation!!!!
Thank you.
Costas Melas No problem... Keep doing the good work!!!

"How many Alexandrias do you want?"
Alexander the Great: "Yes".
Alexander the Great is my lord and saviour 😍😍😍😍
From Egypt 💟
Indeed 😘🇬🇷
Έλληνας Εθνικιστής because you are stupid
Έλληνας Εθνικιστής stupid, Turkey is going to leave NATO soon because they are idiots, after that Greece is going to invade Turkey with the help of NATO to punish them and Greece becomes a global power.
Also Greece is ally of Egypt and we have the strongest navy in the middle east. We are planning to build military bases in Cyprus and probably in Greece itself soon!

Battle of hydespes 🔥🔥
Ends in India the king porus 🔥🖤❤️🔥
Yes porus was killed in India. Than Alexander's army mutinied and they went to Babylon to relax a bit from the NONSTOP conquering from GREECE to INDIA. Then sadly he died from a disease or he got poisoned. If he hadn't died Arabia, India, Europe, North Africa, Ethiopia would have fallen under his son's rule and then under his grandson's rule. Porus was just another on tiny stone in the path of the most ambitious continuous conquest in HUMAN HISTORY.
@@geodim3904 real talk though, the rise of the Maurya empire would have kept him busy fighting the rest of his life and he wouldn’t have made much more progress
@@geodim3904 wow alex lover here, eh. That's just fantasy...he wouldn’t be able to penetrate Arabia, at most he could've controlled the entire coast but probably not even that...too hot for metal-geared armies, you know. Also, how long can stretch it? Romans couldn’t stretch the empire anymore into Persia, and thus didn’t give a shit when Mighty Parthia. became Mighty Sassania. India always had a big population since the early years of farming and Alex would have much more competition from the big tropical jungles, large num. of people - neither of which he fought through or with - and the elephant-army having Nandas, who despite being hated, could've still brought up the Indian spirit if foreign invasions came like Alex. And I didn’t even come to, again, the heat and kingdoms! Kyrusian Empire had weakened due to internal disputes, bad leadership and bad attitude to citizens. Kingdoms in India were better tho. Alex could've not expanded to Nubia and Sahara as well, due to heat. If he didn’t die so early, he would've probably got the area of future Nabataea from his Arabian invasions, and maybe Bahrain, but then he would (either) rest in Greece, and/or continue towards the Mediterranean coasts of Europe, Libya and Mauretania/Africa. Perhaps he could also get Caucasus and Choresmia, and done. Army exhausted. Revenge for Persia extinguished. I hope that he just doesn’t "Rome" out at every neighbour's anger. And done.
He was Greece's real-life hero. Hellas forever!
Edit: If I become leader of a country, I guess I'll nane every city Treedinium.
Ο Μέγας Αλέξανδρος δεν σταμάτησε στον υφαση πέρασε απέναντι και ίδρυσε την Αλεξάνδρεια επί του υφαση.
Nice viseo, but a small correction, Armenia wasn't conuered by Alexander the Great. Yervand III restored independence of the country right after the battle of Gaugamela.
You're right. It was conquered by the general Eumenes in 322/321 BC
it seems alexander had a really big ego.
cities: alexandria, alexandria, alexandria, alexandria, more alexandrias.
Στην μάχη του Gabae συμμετείχε ο Μέγας Αλέξανδρος γιατί δεν είχα ακούσει για αυτή την μάχη?
Ήταν μάχη μεταξύ ενός μακεδονικού σώματος που διοικούσε ο στρατηγός του Αλέξανδρου, Κοίνος και του επαναστάτη της Σογδιανής Σπιταμένη
Most of Greece was part of his empire barring Sparta and Crete. Up to Athens and what used to be Thebes.
323&424 claimed by the One
Blessed he is the young brave Kings
Open the gate for he is not an invader like cyrus was open it the gate of babylon and celebrates him marduk choosen one has come to free you and liberate you from cyrus descendents
Unknown high priests of marduk the chief god of babylon and mesopotamia as a whole
Alexander the great of Macedon was crowned king of babylon and he was accepted by both people and religious people of babylon
Thus Alexander the great wasn't only able to defeat persia but was also favoured by people whom he just meet everyone around him knew how ambitious and promising the young man known as Alexander
He was Macedonia king and was officially crowned king by Egyptians and babylonians alike he died at the Palace of king nebuchadnezzar II
Seleucus and potlemy were his greatest successor among the daidochi (great generals)
He is one of the few mens who we could say had started an era of thier owns and left a very great mark on the history of the world
Why didn't the Macedonians try to take Perge and laranda?
Perge had been conquered by Alexander. Laranda and Isauria were conquered immediately after the death of Alexander by Perdiccas in 322
Την περιοχή της Βιθυνία την είχε κατακτήσει ο μέγας Αλέξανδρος και τη Παφλαγονία γιατί δεν την έχει στην επικράτεια του?
Στη Βιθυνία συνέχισε να κυβερνά ένας ανεξάρτητος ηγεμόνας, ο Βας, από τον οποίο ξεκίνησε η δυναστεία της Βιθυνίας. Η Παφλαγονία κατακτήθηκε με εξαίρεση τη Σινώπη και τις πόλεις που ήταν συνδεδεμένες με αυτή.
@@CostasMelas Σε ρώτησα επειδή σε ποιο παλιό βίντεο η βιθυνια ήταν εκτός της αυτοκρατορίας του μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου και σε αυτό το βίντεο είναι μέρος της.
@@CostasMelas Σε ρώτησα επειδή σε ένα άλλο βίντεο είναι εκτός της αυτοκρατορίας του μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου και σε αυτό είναι μέρος της αυτοκρατορίας.
Ο Βας ήταν ανεξάρτητος αλλά παρόλα αυτά δεν είχε αποκτήσει τον τίτλο του Βασιλιά, που δείχνει πως αναγνώριζε την επικυριαρχία του Αλέξανδρου. Οπότε με αυτή την παραδοχή, μπορεί να συμπεριληφθεί στην αυτοκρατορία. Δεν ισχύει το ίδιο για την Καππαδοκία, όπου ο Αριαράθης υιοθέτησε τον τίτλο του Βασιλιά.
@@CostasMelas Έχω τρεις απορίες γιατί έχω διαβάσει πολλά και δεν ξέρω τι ισχύει.
1 Ο Μέγας Αλέξανδρος πιγε μεχρη την Τασκένδη?
2 Ο Μέγας Αλέξανδρος είχε κατακτήσει το νησί Σοκότρα?
3 Ο Μέγας Αλέξανδρος δεν είχε κατακτήσει την περιοχή της Παμφυλίας?
Εγώ πατισα για να βρο στιχια για την απολλωνια την πόλη που βρίσκοταν δυπλα απο την κυρηνι και έλεγε ότι τιν κατέκτησε ο Μέγας Αλέξανδρος.
Η Κυρηναϊκή δεν κατακτήθηκε επίσημα από τον Αλέξανδρο. Αφού βρέθηκε στη δίνη μίας τοπικής σύγκρουσης, με πρωταγωνιστή έναν πρώην μισθοφόρο, τον Θίμβρωνα, τελικά κατακτήθηκε από τον Πτολεμαίο (322 π.Χ.), ο οποίος παρέδωσε την επαρχία στη διοίκηση του στρατηγού Οφέλλα (γνωστός ο τελευταίος από τους πολέμους του Αγαθοκλή εναντίον της Καρχηδόνας, λίγο αργότερα).
Bas medot
Just only that much emplire is nothing in from of king vikramaditya empire who ruled over whole Asia
Why he didn't he just... cross the Kızılırmak river
The satrap of Cappadocia Ariarathes was declared independent king, but was conquered in 322 by Alexander's diadochi Perdiccas and Eumenes
@@CostasMelas Thank you for the fact. By the way, is there a Greek name for the Kızılırmak river and if there is does it mean something like red-river?
Edit: Looked it up out of curiosity. Halys.
Ο Μέγας Αλέξανδρος δεν είχε υποτελείς του η στιν σφερα επιροις του τιν κυρινι τιν ολβια τι συνοπι και τιν Κρήτη και αυτή η τριπα τι είναι εκεί
Είναι η Λυκαονία και η ανατολική Πισιδία. Κατακτήθηκαν από τον Περδίκκα, ένα χρόνο μετά το θάνατο του Αλέξανδρου, το 322. Η Κυρήνη κατακτήθηκε από τον Πτολεμαίο, επίσης το 322. Η Καππαδοκία, με την ευρύτερη περιοχή των παραλίων του Πόντου, κατακτήθηκε από τον Περδίκκα το 322 και αποδόθηκε στον Ευμένη. Η Ολβία είχε πολιορκηθεί από το στρατηγό του Αλέξανδρου Ζωπυρίωνα το 331, αλλά δεν κατακτήθηκε.
Macedonia didn’t invade Armenia
good job. so it would appear that his empire included afghanistan. and i keep hearing folks talk like that no one has ever conquered it. well he sure as heck did and then some.
It is actually the land of dead empires. Multiple country conquer it, but unable to hold the land for long.
@@GamerCrusher1994 alexander could have held it for as long as he wanted had he not tried to expand farther and farther away from greece. it only took two years to conquer. he established cities and built large forts, some of which are still standing. it was still under his control until he died 4 years after the conquest. had he just got there and established his supply lines more thoroughly, the greeks would have held it far longer. and they would be likely still speaking greek to this day. some parts did speak it for 150 years after he died. so his empire didn't die there it died with him in babylon.
@@scottanddebranelson8419 but did his empire able to hold it tho.. Like i said, multiple country or empire able to take the land with ease. But it is hard to hold it due to its geography.
But for the sake of argument, if Alexander did not extend his troops to Indus, it would be an interesting topic. Would his empire hold out after his death? Will his generals be more obidient and loyal to his cause, and hold out multiple attacks from enemies in other region? Who knows
@@GamerCrusher1994 when a emperor dies his empire goes with him. so my point is spot on. alexander's empire didn't die in the stan and had he stayed and further bolstered his supply routes they would likely still be speaking greek that's the bottom line. the land may be difficult but it was held for six years two of which were AFTER he was dead so the whole illusion that it can't be held for a long period of time is just inaccurate and just romantic fantasy.
@@scottanddebranelson8419 but it didnt aint it? It is easy to say "if" because it never happened. Like what if Hitler stays in art school? But hey, whatever you say man. History shows multiple empires controls Afghan land but none of it able to hold the land for long. Stating "if" wont change history.
Why is Hindu Kush called Caucasus??
The Greek name of Hindu Kush was Indicos Caucasos/Ινδικός Καύκασος (latinized as Caucasus Indicus)
@@CostasMelas What does Caucasus mean?
Alexander losing war to gedrosia ✌️
Was alexander from FYROM? Greetings from kashmir

Riad al-Assad /MappingArm/ what? Are you Syrian Greek?
Ο μέγας Αλέξανδρος δεν είχε περισσότερα εδαφι στην Αλβανία μέχρι το Μαυροβούνιο.
Ο Γλαυκίας των Ταυλάντιων παρέμεινε ανεξάρτητος ηγεμόνας στην περιοχή, αλλά μετά την ήττα στο Πήλιο της Ηπείρου, διατηρούσε φιλικές σχέσεις με τους Μακεδόνες, όπως και οι υπόλοιποι Ιλλυριοί.
Costas Melas το λέω γιατί ο Φιλιππος τους είχε στην επυκιριαρχια του και όταν πέθανε επαναστατισαν εναντίον του μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου αλλά νικιθικαν οπότε δεν ήταν ανεξάρτητη ήταν υπό την επικυριαρχία της Μακεδονίας γι'αυτό έστειλαν και στρατό για την εκστρατεία του μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου οπός έκαναν η μακεδονες βασιλις με τους περσες.
Alexandar was lost to Indian King Porus..
No.
@@anirudh177 yeah
He was badly injured, his horse dead, his soldiers stunned 😳
Shaheed E Azam porus have been defeatted by alexander the great in the battle of the ydaspis river !! but alexander let porus be the govener of this territory because when alexander asked porus how Do u want me to treat u ,porus answered " like a king " !! alexander the great liked this answer very much so he let porus govern india under him !!
@@memesins5647 NO U R WRONG !! in this battle against porus ( at the ydaspis river ) alexander the great was physsicaly very well !! "the arrow in his chest" battle gonna take place after the ballte against porus !! i dont remember the enemies name but it was a siege !! alexander the great attacked and got over the enemies wall with only 4 or 5 of his soldier !!! the greek soldier when they learned this they tryied to help alexander but the ladders were broken from the weight of the soldiers( because to many were on the ladder),so alexander and 4-5 of his men were alone to fight the enemy at the enemies wall there was the place that alexander got hit by an arrow !! but this siege was after the battle against porus !!! at the end of the siege the soldiers of alexander the great thought that alexander the great was dead so they burn the city !! against porus was a battle at the ydaspis river, the " arrow in the chest" batlle was a siege after the battle against king porus !!
Bapre aacha he ki 30 sal ki uumra me mara nahito kam hi tha😥
India defeated greeks
There was no such thing as India before Mauryan empire, India had never been united before that. The concept of Bharat did not come before Mauryan empire. It was Punjabi King Porus who defeated Sikander, not all of India.
@@arjansingh1777 I'm also Punjabi but I'll say that language spoken at the time of Maharaja Porus was Sanskrit or any other dialect.Punjabi nationalism rose after Maharaja Ranjeet Singh
@@jatikhan5770 Good point
Follow doctor's orders and take your ordered pills on a daily basis, in order not to write nonsenses.
You Indians often argue this, the problem is it's not true, Porus was completely defeated.
