Re: Descendants to Alexander the Greath

I think what your thinking of are the black Kifirs, they also claim they are decendants of Dyonises, living now some where in Afgahanistan?! They still wear Greek costumes and dance the greek dances..........george

Re: How many wounds did Alexander get, is there a list or re

added to it all the mental anguish of command, and the loss of Hephaestian, I'd say no one I know could have lasted half as much. Alexander was a man's man afterall.

Re: Marcus Help

I thought most the paper work was lost in the fire on the way back to Babylon, when Alexander set Emenese's tent ablaze believing he was stealing from him?George
