I think they used his casus.

2018-12-13 13:04:01 UTC  

I think alex would be proud

2018-12-13 13:14:21 UTC  

Well they never did conquer territory as big, but Alexander greatly wasn't focused on Europe.

2018-12-13 13:14:33 UTC  

They had nuisance with Persians and Parthians, whom Alexander conquered.

2018-12-13 13:14:47 UTC  

I believe Empire was at its height during Traian and had much land in Asia then.

2018-12-13 13:15:06 UTC  

its not just about conquring

2018-12-13 13:15:15 UTC  

I mean like as a leader

2018-12-13 13:22:34 UTC  

Ah.

2018-12-13 13:34:05 UTC  

By the way Mr. E have you heard about Bactrians?

2018-12-13 13:34:14 UTC  

Name of camels came from them, which is only thing they're remembered from today, lol.

2018-12-13 13:50:05 UTC  

@Deleted User Hey, I've given contact to you to a friend of mine with Iranian origin.

2018-12-13 13:50:10 UTC  

Hope you won't mind that.

2018-12-13 13:51:04 UTC  

No problem, I think he added me @National Trotskyist

2018-12-13 13:51:09 UTC  

The pan Iranian fellow right

2018-12-13 13:52:07 UTC  

And yes the Bactrian camels were named after ancient inhabitants of modern day tajikistan and Afghanistan​

2018-12-13 13:52:38 UTC  

Some speculate based on linguistics and archeological evidence they were the ancient ancestors of modern day Tajiks in Afghanistan and tajikistan

2018-12-13 13:53:28 UTC  

I'm surprised you know about that. Not many people care about the ancient history of Afghanistan and central asia

2018-12-13 14:26:46 UTC  

Yes, I've learned of them when I was reading on the pre-Turkic history of the so called Turkestan/Turan.

2018-12-13 14:26:58 UTC  

Bactrians, Sogdians, Pseudo-Tokharians/Kucheans & Agneans and Tokharians proper (Yuezhi/Kushans).

2018-12-13 14:27:02 UTC  

Pretty interesting stuff.

2018-12-13 14:27:16 UTC  

It just surprised me those nations disappeared almost completely.

2018-12-13 14:27:36 UTC  

Bactrians to my surprise, were influenced by the Greek regime so much, they adopted Greek alphabet to write their language.

2018-12-13 14:27:42 UTC  

It's only Iranic nations known to me which did this.

2018-12-13 14:28:37 UTC  

There were few nations which used Greek alphabet, like Anatolians, or Copts and Goths in modified form.

2018-12-13 14:31:09 UTC  

Bactrians? No clue.

2018-12-13 14:33:27 UTC  

It looks like the "Persian Princess" Alexander the Great had child with was actually one.

2018-12-13 14:33:38 UTC  

It's strange, because I had no idea of that.

2018-12-13 14:33:47 UTC  

Who was the child?

2018-12-13 14:34:02 UTC  

Roxane was the mother.

2018-12-13 14:34:09 UTC  

He was successor to Alexander the Great.

2018-12-13 14:34:13 UTC  

I first heard of him at school.

2018-12-13 14:34:22 UTC  

I believe Diadochi found him incapable to rule and partitioned the empire.

2018-12-13 14:34:29 UTC  

Why?

2018-12-13 14:34:53 UTC  

Wonder how would it have been they acted as regents till he grew up.

2018-12-13 14:34:58 UTC  

If you remember Alexander was... Very fucking young.

2018-12-13 14:35:02 UTC  

When he was crowned.

2018-12-13 14:35:13 UTC  

I think he administrated the army at mere 21 years old.

2018-12-13 14:35:18 UTC  

his son?

2018-12-13 14:35:26 UTC  

or the great?

2018-12-13 14:35:29 UTC  

The Great.
