Who was Alexander the Great?

Check out this path of one of history's most ambitious leaders! Everything kicks off in THREE-THIRTY-SIX BCE, when a young Alexander became KING, quickly rose to power, and unified the Greek states behind him. By THREE-THIRTY-THREE BCE, he pushed into Asia and hit the BATTLE OF ISSUS, where he strategically outmaneuvered the Persian King Darius the Third, even though he was outnumbered. A year later, in THREE-THIRTY-TWO BCE, he reached EGYPT, where the locals didn't just welcome him—they crowned him PHARAOH, linkin' his reign to the gods of the Nile. But the big win was in THREE-THIRTY-ONE BCE at GAUGAMELA; that's where his tactical genius effectively dismantled the PERSIAN EMPIRE for good. Finally, after buildin' one of the largest empires ever, we see him in BABYLON in THREE-TWENTY-THREE BCE, where his journey ended at just thirty-two years old. Talk about a fast-paced life!
