I just watched this Epic History channel video on Alexander the Great and was totally mystified on how quickly this one man was able to conquer so much, so fast. It's mind boggling how effective he was as a commander and how epic his campaign was.
So I rented the movie "Alexander" and I just cannot be anymore infuriated. The took the West's most brilliant military commander of all time and turned him into a sissy, British faggot who is constantly drunk, crying over a faggot boyfriend, they left out all but one of his famous battles and made him look like a lucky deranged fool in that battle. The rest was literally just a bunch of homoerotic imagery. I really, really hope someone else who isn't Jewish produces another movie about him because the last one was the most disgusting defilement of a historic hero I've ever seen in my life.
Here is a description of one of his battles, the first one in Persian territory that allowed him to establish a foothold in Persian land. It was not featured in the movie.
>Alexander It's called a fictionalized account and also if you've spent any time understanding how history was written you'd know that there's a fair smattering of exaggeration and attribution of events to leaders to make them look better so the historian gets in good with the descendants of the historical figure in question or to ingratiatingly frame parallels between the current king/emperor for the same purpose.
Liam White
POS youtube links, it starts at 9:00
Landon Nelson
There is no reason to fictionalize anything about him the battles and simple facts tell the story.
Bentley Cox
The movie is an insult to Greece's national hero
Wyatt Butler
Alex is overrated
Caesar was more brilliant and Subutai unequaled
Carson Ward
The Bible predicted Alexander the Great by using the four headed leopard to represent the Greek empire.
Alexander's fast conquest is represented by the leopard, a fast animal. And after his death, his kingdom split into 4 kingdoms, hence the 4 headed leopard.
>15:10 >it slowly zooms out to show the Persian empire >yfw you realize he conquered all of it If only he hadn't died at Babylon, can't even imagine what could have been.
>modern Macedonia >doesn't align with the current map lines OH NO NO NO NO
Hunter Perez
I might be mistaken but didn’t the bible come after Alexander’s conquests
Jason Foster
the Old Testament was compiled and ordered around that time yes, but there already existed the writings of the prophets and others before then. It's a common mis-understanding.
But that's what he was saying I think, that those "facts" that make you feel good are probably propaganda just like that movie you don't like.
Andrew Wood
love you to bro. Sorry you feel the need to lash out.
Sebastian Gutierrez
just read about Subutai. he was quite fierce apparently
Luke Thompson
This, brilliant commander, but also had the gay
Bentley Cruz
Actually it's probably a good thing he died after finishing off Persia. He had plans to invade Italy and could've potentially prevented the Roman Empire from ever existing.
Justin Parker
Subutai invented maneuver warfare 700 years before it defined WW2
Josiah Adams
The Roman republic would have kicked his ass. Inlike Alexanders historical enemies, the roman army wasn't a poorly equipped or poorly led force.
Thomas Harris
When I saw that he conquered Egypt, and that the priests there crowed him Pharaoh, and declared him the son of Anun and God King, and to see this wasn't even in the movie, I just clenched my fist. How could they make such a pathetic disgusting movie. Why?
Lincoln Lopez
I do both, it's good to see the whole thing in 45 minutes in an outline and then read the whole thing in detail. I use it to figure out what I would be interested in.
Eli White
HAHAHAHA Turks absolutely BTFO by Alexander, fucking guy conquered your entire fucking empire with nothing but skimpy ass horses, spears and his bros, LMAO
Connor Ross
The Old Testament literally is the Hebrew Torah.
Owen Stewart
>land of the BLACK bulls This must be from personal experience.
Gabriel Cooper
Yeah man, no arguments here, Mongols and Subutai by far the Kings of warfare.
Ryder Mitchell
In 323 BC, Rome had only recently begun to dominate central Italy, they had nearly been wiped out by an army of Italian Gauls about 70 years prior. A Greek invasion this early would've been disastrous for the Romans with very little chance of anything over than annexation, especially a Macedonian army led by the man who built a fucking bridge over the sea because Tyre refused to surrender.
Jayden Cooper
>Alexander conquered the Turks American education
Joshua Long
>He received a letter from the Persian king, offering him a fortune in Gold, his daughter, and half his empire for peace. But Alexander's triumphs and his oracles had convinced him he was to rule the world. He didn't want half the empire, he was coming to take it all.
LMAO
Joseph White
Greece's national hero is someone like Leonardis or something ....... Alexander is macadonican
What is Asia Minor you absolute fucking petty faggot, its the same ethnic peoples, I'm aware the Ottoman empire didn't exist yet you fucking petulant child
Yes and the movie makes him out to be a drunk, useless and angry degenerate
Robert Sanchez
Read the actual histories you dumb nigger. The men cheer him on to kiss Bagoas. His love of Hephaestion was greater than Achilles' love of Patroclus. Your desire to subvert the historical reality in favor of what appeals to your fragile sensibilities makes you no better than the tumblristas who try and fanfiction history.
Alexander the Molossian, Alexander the great's uncle, was busy fighting for the Tarantines against the Apulians and said something to the effect of "Alexander is busy fighting women in dresses (persians) while I'm fighting men".
Rome and Carthage were friends bound by oath at that time - odds are the threat of Alexander the Great would have made them fight as friends and allies.
>There was a Macedonian Pausanias who came of a family from the district Orestis.2 He a was bodyguard of the king and was beloved by him because of his beauty. [4] When he saw that the king was becoming enamoured of another Pausanias (a man of the same name as himself), he addressed him with abusive language, accusing him of being a hermaphrodite and prompt to accept the amorous advances of any who wished. [5] Unable to endure such an insult, the other kept silent for the time, but, after confiding to Attalus, one of his friends, what he proposed to do, he brought about his own death voluntarily and in a spectacular fashion. [6] For a few days after this, as Philip was engaged in battle with Pleurias, king of the Illyrians,3 Pausanias stepped in front of him and, receiving on his body all the blows directed at the king, so met his death. [7]
>The incident was widely discussed and Attalus, who was a member of the court circle and influential with the king, invited the first Pausanias to dinner and when he had plied him till drunk with unmixed wine, handed his unconscious body over to the muleteers to abuse in drunken licentiousness. [8] So he presently recovered from his drunken stupor and, deeply resenting the outrage to his person, charged Attalus before the king with the outrage. Philip shared his anger at the barbarity of the act but did not wish to punish Attalus at that time because of their relationship, and because Attalus's services were needed urgently. [9] He was the nephew4 of the Cleopatra whom the king had just married as a new wife and he had been selected as a general of the advanced force being sent into Asia, for he was a man valiant in battle. For these reasons, the king tried to mollify the righteous anger of Pausanias at his treatment, giving him substantial presents and advancing him in honour among the bodyguards.
Pausanias goes on to kill Philip in revenge for Philip's failure to bring retribution to the man who conspired to get pausanias drunk and gang-raped by slaves. Because Philip no longer lusted after Pausanias due to him getting older and not being as attractive as Pausanias 2.0.
The macedonians were not stiff-upper-lip austere chaste Victorians. They were a bunch of degenerates who drank wine not cut by water like barbarians and engaged in bacchanalian festivals.
I want to watch this, but how do I know its not a bunch of kike disinformation?
Luis Peterson
>t. never read a book of the bible since he turned 20
Carter Diaz
Macedonia was not a city state.
Samuel Campbell
The first Christians were all Jews, dumbass. No matter how much you dress it up. They created a pacifist, race-mixing religion for the goyim, while they kept their genocidal Torah.
Christopher Powell
The Oliver Stone movie is not very good. Maybe someone else will make a movie that is worthy of Alexander
Josiah Wood
I mean the dude was pretty gay
Mason Moore
The first Christians were Adam and Eve, you fool.
Easton Rogers
get the fuck out of my thread bulgarian alexandofski skopjanofski
go play at your alexander the great theme parks you fucking thief
Brandon Lee
To be perfectly honest Alexander was a degenerate if you judge him by Jow Forums's standards. Haven't seen that movie, have no intention to change it, but if they portrayed him as a drunkard fruit then they didn't get those parts wrong. Doesn't change his accomplishments though.
Is this how people actually spell "homosexual" now?
Evan Cooper
It's not the History channel?
Anthony Flores
There's a comma in my sentence, thanks.
Hudson Myers
I understand what Greek sexuality was like, my issue is that they made him look like a weak faggot and ignored his countless exploits and genius
Eli Walker
...
Chase Roberts
Yes, but it was not rare in ancient greece for men to be sexually ambiguous, but not homoerotic sissies as he is depicted. It also happened in Rome
Colton Lopez
no.
the torah is only the first books in the old testament.
Jose Smith
It's not your thread.
Everyone is having a civil conversation, I don't know what your problem is.
Kevin Cruz
Sparta outlawed homoeroticism.
Carson Nguyen
not hard to conquer something when most things are unpopulated lands of literally nothing at that time
Chase Diaz
250 000 men armies is "nothing" to our turkish friend.
Eli Perez
>what your problem is as expected, a person growing up as a thief cant see a problem with theft
fuck you and your disgusting landlocked shithole with statues made out of foam
the real ones are here asshole and no matter how many parades you do dressed up like retards in stolen outfits youll always be a joke in academics trying to get your fake language and history recognised
fuck off and never reply to me you history beggar
Henry Morris
He conquered you niggers at the absolute height of your power, the Ottomans were never as powerful as the Persian Empire, and Alexander completely fucking destroyed it, both literally and figuratively.
I am sorry guys we just wanted to Dab on the Bulgars, but this prank went way too far
Ryan Adams
what a delusional post, oh wait it's coming from an amerimutt that thinks he knows how Ottomans completely took a shit on European powers for centuries
I'm romanian but just visiting germany
Brayden Jenkins
>I just watched this Epic History channel video on Alexander the Great and was totally mystified on how quickly this one man was able to conquer so much, so fast. It's mind boggling how effective he was as a commander and how epic his campaign was.
He was able to do it because he was an absolute savage. He was like Logan Paul x2
Camden Parker
Please refrain from calling persians arabs. They were much more akin to Europeans than to Semites. Cyrus the Great should be one of the canonical role models for any western male.
Nathaniel Ortiz
What is it like?
Thomas Cruz
>rented the movie lmao
Brayden Parker
Turks were never numerous enough to replace the Greeks, in fact many Turks today are Turkified Greeks Genetic studies support this After the collapse of the Ottoman empire millions of converts moved into Anatolia almost totally replacing the original Ethnic Turks while still larping as being 100% Turk
Aiden Hill
I'M A DIRECT DESCENDANT OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT! HELLENIC PRIDE WORLD WIDE
