Chapter 13 alexander who died young

In the 4th century BC, in the history of Western civilization, there was an outstanding conqueror, and he was Alexander the Great.At a young age, the emperor led his troops to fight north and south, sweeping away all the neighbors in the European continent.It even took only a few short years to bring all the birthplaces of ancient civilizations along the Mediterranean Sea into his arms.Alexander the Great established an unprecedentedly large empire, which stretched across the junction of the three continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa, like a shining star, smilingly admiring the admiration of the world.

However, with the sudden death of Alexander the Great, the empire lost its former glory. However, all of this has already been made a weird prediction in advance. Alexander's growth experience is full of fantasy.Before he was born, his father Philip II dreamed that he had stamped a lion's head on the queen's womb.Before the queen gave birth, she also had a strange dream.The queen dreamed that she was possessed by thunder, and wherever she looked, there were flames of war, as if an unknown battle had destroyed everything.A few days later, Alexander was born.Because of the strange dream before, the queen secretly asked a fortune teller to predict the child's future.

In Macedonia, there was a prophet named Aristander who was deeply appreciated by King Philip II. He had repeatedly made accurate predictions about the fate of the country.After Alexander came to power, Aristander also followed the emperor on expeditions to serve as a combat advisor.But the really touching thing is that he accurately predicted Alexander's life when he was just born. When Alexander was born, the Macedonian army had just won a beautiful and big victory.Aristande took the opportunity to tell Philip II and his wife that the child they gave birth to was actually Thor. Come to the highest glory.

On the night Alexander was born, a fire broke out in the temple of the sun god in a Greek city-state near Asia for no reason.Obviously, in the Mediterranean land where the mythology is quite strong, the year of Alexander's birth is full of oracle.Some people even say that Alexander will definitely cover the sun's brilliance in the future.Before dawn that night, the prophets made their own predictions one after another. They said: "The disaster and destruction of Greece were born the night before!" The birth of Alexander made his city-state feel infinite power , making their enemies even more frightened.

Therefore, the prediction of Alexander is becoming reality step by step along with his growth process. When he was a teenager, Philip II invited the famous scholar Aristotle to be Alexander's teacher.Under the training of Aristotle, Alexander received a good education.Alexander, who has a handsome appearance and a strong physique, has formed himself a stubborn and conceited personality after possessing extraordinary talents. Aristotle once said that Alexander showed agility and even arrogance different from ordinary people since he was a child.When he was a teenager, he led the army to defeat the Greek coalition forces in one fell swoop.Afterwards, his father Philip II was assassinated and died, and Alexander inherited his father's unfinished business of unification.At this time, he was only in his 20s.

In 334 BC, after careful preparation, Alexander launched an attack on Persia, the largest and richest empire on earth at that time.Relying on his unique military talent and extraordinary courage, Alexander defied the vast territory and large population of the Persian Empire in the war. He led the soldiers to win one war after another. After defeating the Persian Empire, he went south to Egypt and was honored as the sun god by the Egyptians.Afterwards, he embarked on a new journey of unscrupulously expanding his territory.And his title of God of War has also been proved by his own victories that he is not in vain.

For ease of rule, Alexander moved his capital from Macedonia, making Babylon the capital of his new empire.So far, he has finally embarked on the most glorious pinnacle of his life. So far, the prophecies on Alexander have all been fulfilled one by one.However, not only that, even his death was hit by fortune tellers one by one. At that time, in Greece, Alexander was about to execute a wise man.I saw the wise man walked onto the guillotine calmly, and before he died, he made an exciting speech. He said: "Ah, the most beautiful relief! Like Horculus, with the burning of the body, the soul Break free from bondage and enter the light. Only a man who has experienced death is a true philosopher." Alexander stepped forward, and in order to show his kindness, he asked the wise man what he had to say.The wise man smiled and said, "No. But I will see you soon."

At this time, Alexander was only 32 years old, which was the golden age of his life.Everyone thinks that this is the wise man's slander to the king before he died, but no one would have thought that this sentence turned out to be a prophecy of death. Shortly after this event, Alexander died mysteriously. Few scholars in later generations are willing to admit the reality of these prophecies.The death prophecy, because there is no evidence to check, has become an unsolved case.As for the previous prediction that Alexander would become the God of War, scholars are more inclined to believe that this is a manifestation of the accurate analysis of the current political situation by the fortune-teller.At that time, Greece had just ended its civil war and was unable to resist the invasion of foreign enemies at all; the Persian Empire was already a dead but not stiff centipede, and it could be conquered with a little effort; Egyptian civilization was already in a period of decline, which is why it was so Vulnerable.

Scholars believe that these can be demonstrated through research.Even if Alexander can't complete the task of unification, there will be successors, it's just a matter of time. But the only question is, why did Alexander appear at this point in time and accomplish what his parents failed to accomplish?Is this just a coincidence in all aspects?It is true that in such an era, as long as he is an enlightened monarch, he will definitely make a difference.But when Alexander was just born, who would dare to assert that he would be an enlightened monarch in the future? Alexander's sudden death was attributed to political conspiracy by scholars, but had nothing to do with the prophecy.However, scholars' arguments on Alexander's achievements just show that the magic of prophecy often lies in the prophet's insight into political conspiracy.Attacking the other's shield with his spear, what will be the result?

This is probably a proposition that will never have an answer!
