And, the first Christian, Alexander the Great.
…that's difficult to prove.
Alexander the Great (356 BC – 323 BC)?
Not only would that be difficult to prove, me thinks that would be down right impossible.
RightWhale – were you thinking of Constantine I (c. 280 –337 AD) – the first Christian Roman Emperor?

Even Constantine would be wrong as he was clearly not the FIRST to believe in Christ.
I’m thinking there’s some kind of ‘interpretation’ of Alexander that leads RW to believe he was the first Christian (which would mean, to me, that he was the FIRST person to experience/believe in Christ.)
OF course, I have heard that Jesus is a synthesized retelling of Alexander the Great or Elijah. So who knows what RW means.

No. The Shahnameh has been dismissed, but there it is.
