Typical. Not so much as a passing reference to my "Fatal Tractor Pull Injury" theory. Snobs.

There's a very interesting BBC video done by Michael Wood a few years ago in which he retraced, with a camera and, obviously, a lot of work, the 20,000 mile journey, through 16 countries of today, of Alexander and his troops, interviewing and gleaning information from the locals whose stories of the conqueror are still being told. I got it from my library and found it a fascinating compaction of the historic journey without all the political correctness that would be included by many today.

Alexander's death was predicted in the Bible decades before his birth. God killed him so that his "posterity" would not inherit his empire, thus giving rise to the Selucid kings and Ptolemies of Egypt, eventually culminating in Cleopatra. Her defeat along with Mark Anthony allowed Augustus Caesar to consolidate power and the Roman Empire was now ready for a census to be held.....and the rest is HIS-tory....
