It's seems extremely consistent if nothing else
What do you guys think was the most important part of Alexander the Great's Empire?
Mesopotamia, Egypt or Persia?
that historians wrote about it
In terms of the value it provided to the Greek people and the empire
well it far apart quickly after his death
most of the wealth was received from Egypt / Persia tho
Probably Persia
@Leaf Probably 0 to the Greek people
he took the best warriors they had and married them to sand people
What was long lasting was the Hellenic culture left by the cities he founded
That was his legacy
BUT, it did spread hellenism to the east
and probably led to Christianity / western dominance
yes
Right up until islam fucked all that up
Greeks remained in Egypt until the 20th century and were the most dominant factor in the Sudanese slave trade through Egypt and Nile valley agriculture
He would leave Greek soldiers in cities old and newly founded and raise Persian children on Hellenic schooling
As well, Greeks were basically the majority in much of Anatolia
Dunno about Persia, that's why I ask
Wtf was the benefit of Persia?
Just because it was cool 😎
oh shid JF INTJ confirmed
INTP master race
<:ahem:639979147782914084>
I test INTP/INTJ borderline
Little more INTP
In terms of pure value, would you say Egypt was probably more valuable or slightly less?
Seems like it yielded the most long term benefit
He spread Hellenic culture as far as India
Although Constantinople did for a long time I guess
Yeah ik
it had a lasting effect
Until the big river they all shit in
But the real reason they went to Persia was because of Alexander
The river of shit
Ganges
Forgot the name for a second lol
