Alexander The Great: The Existence Of Aliens
Aliens
Aliens are extraterrestrial beings that are rumoured to have visited earth hundreds of times. The existence of these creatures has been contemplated since 329 BC and many believe they are either from another planet, humans from the future, or they have travelled from another dimension. Since then, there have been abductions and UFO sightings across the globe. Aliens are most often described as grey and thin with a large head. Eyewitnesses also say they have a small mouth and nose with large, oval-shaped black eyes. From 1994 to 2011, the top three states with the most alien sightings were California, Washington, and Texas. The majority of UFOs are described as either white or multicolored and shaped like disks. For thousands of years,

Considering the wheel had not been invented until late 3500 BC, it is very unlikely that there were silver flying shields that could spit fire during this time. Therefore, the only reasonable explanation would be that Alexander the Great had been the first to witness a UFO. While there were most likely hundreds of alien witnesses between these times, the next recorded UFO sighting was on October 11, 1492. It occurred when Christopher Columbus and Pedro Gutierrez were on board the Santa Maria. They saw a flashing light that bobbed up and down throughout the night and moved with great speed. After this, the alien sightings slowed down until around the …show more content…
Crop circles have existed for over 2,000 years and have been found in many areas of the world. They are most commonly found in the southern areas of England, such as Hampshire, Avebury, and Wiltshire. However, a few have been found in Australia, Canada, India, Japan, and the United States. Crop circles are commonly made between April and September, which is the growing season. They usually exist in fields of wheat, corn and oats that are under tall hills. The first was discovered in 1678 by a farmer in Staffordshire. During this time, there was no technology to make these crop circles as complex as they appeared. Not to mention they were only visible from the sky, and aircraft had not been invented at this

    All throughout school teachers have taught students that Alexander The Great was indeed great but, is this really true? He did conquer much land and spread greek culture throughout Europe but not many people know what he did to his men in order to do this. One way that he torched his men to get what he wants is in Document D when the man went through all that work to get him his hat back after it falling into the water than killed him. He did this because in order to get the hat back without getting wet he would have to place it on his head. Since he placed in on his head he had to get it cut off because it says “he should not allow the head that had worn the royal head band to be safe” (Document D). He did this to show the rest of his men…

    The Persian king was no longer in control of his destiny, having been taken prisoner by Bessus, his Bactrian satrap and kinsman. As Alexander approached, Bessus had his men fatally stab the Great King and then declared himself Darius' successor as Artaxerxes V, before retreating into Central Asia to launch a guerrilla campaign against Alexander. Darius' remains were buried by Alexander next to his Achaemenid predecessors in a full regal funeral. Alexander claimed that, while dying, Darius had named him as his successor to the Achaemenid throne. The Achaemenid Empire is normally considered to have fallen with the death of Darius. Having paid funeral honours to the deceased Persian czar, Alexander proceeded with pursuing Bess as a traitor and usurper. To resist the Macedonian czar Bess adopted Akheminids throne name, Artakserks, and managed to rally under his banners Baktrians, Sogdians and nomads who lived beyond the Yaksart (Syr-Darya). They all took up the call to repulse the Greek conqueror. However, when the Greek and Macedonian armies approached, Bess withdrew his followers away to Central Asia. Haunting Bess, Alexander found himself at a threshold of an uncharted world, because the Greeks believed that oykumena – inhabited world – was Europe, Asia and Africa. Alexander, now considering himself the legitimate successor to Darius, viewed Bessus as a usurper to the Achaemenid throne, and set out to defeat him. This campaign, initially against Bessus, turned into a grand tour of central Asia, with Alexander founding a series of new cities, all called Alexandria, including modern Kandahar in Afghanistan, and Alexandria Eschate ("The Furthest") in modern Tajikistan. The campaign took Alexander through Media, Parthia, Aria (West Afghanistan), Drangiana, Arachosia (South and Central Afghanistan), Bactria (North and Central Afghanistan), and Scythia.…

    The Hellenistic period is said to extend from the reign of Alexander the Great to the throne of Macedon in 336 B.C. to the death of Cleopatra VII of Egypt in 30 B.C. Its beginning is marked by Alexander's successful invasion of the Persian Empire and its end by the division of the Middle East between Rome and the new Iranian-ruled kingdom of Parthia. For much of the intervening three hundred years the territory of the former Persian Empire was dominated by a series of Macedonian-ruled kingdoms in which Greeks and Greek culture enjoyed extraordinary domination. Art and literature flourished, the foundations of Western literary scholarship were laid, and Greek scientists formulated ideas of theories that would remain fundamental to work in a variety of fields until the Renaissance.…

    On the day Alexander the Great, son of King Phillip II and Olympias, was born Phillip II captured the city of Potidaea, Phillip II’s general Parmenion won another important battle, and Phillip II’s horse won a race at Olympia. It was said that a son whose birth coincided with three victories would himself prove to be invincible. It was also said that Alexander descended from the Greek heroes and demi-gods Heracles and Achilles. During his kingship Alexander did very little to disprove these statements. Alexander the Great changed the known world in little more than a decade by founding over seventy cities, integrating Greek and Persian customs, spreading the ideas of democracy, and spreading the Greek language and culture throughout Asia. At the same time he caused Greek to be the language of the early Christian church and influenced future conquerors by military example.…

    Throughout history there have been many famous leaders. Many people are recognized such as Pompey, Julius Cesear, Peter the Great and many others. The one guy that sticks out in history to me is Alexander the Great. When you hear his name, you automatically know who he is. Alexander the Great was well known but most people don’t know all of the great things he actually did. Alexander was known as a great king, a phenomenal warrior, a conqueror, and very unpredictable. He was born on September 20, 356 B.C. in Pella, Macedonia. Alexander received his early childhood education under the tutelage of Leonidas. Leonidas, who had been hired by King Phillip to teach Alexander math, horsemanship, and archery, struggled to control his rebellious student. Alexander’s next mentor was Lysimachus, who used role-playing to capture the boy’s attention. Alexander was an exceptional warrior and always found it very interesting impersonating Achilles. It is said that he slept with a copy of Homer’s Iliad under his pillow. Some people say that Alexander’s desire to be a great warrior came from Achilles. Along with idolizing Achilles, he has many things from his childhood that are unknown to most people. There is a story that has been told that goes like this. A man brought Alexander’s father, Phillip, a stallion but no one was able to mount it because it was too wild. Alexander then bet his father that he could mount it and ride it right before his father’s eyes. Both Phillip and the man who were trying to sell the horse burst into laughter because neither one of them could do it, and Alexander was just a boy. For a while Alexander ran alongside the horse and stroked him. Then on seeing that he was full of zest and spirit, he quietly threw his cloak aside, made a flying jump and mounted him. For a while he held him back, using a touch of the reins to cheek the bit, but without pulling or tearing his mouth, and when he saw the horse had rid himself of the…
