Maybe we as a forum should set up as military advisers and commentators, and get ourselves a virtual sandtray to show how Alexander would advise moving troops around. I expect the basics are much the same.I can't imagine going to the Pentagon and saying.. " There's this long-dead king and he's telling you your troops are in the wrong place".Susan

Yes, he is, also in Alexander - he took the photos inside the mosque of Nebi Daniel that are on the poll on the front page of this site, and he went to Siwah. He is going to the University of Durham to read Middle Eastern studies later this year. His interest is in Central Asia too.Susan
