It's seems extremely consistent if nothing else

2019-12-27 01:49:50 UTC  

What do you guys think was the most important part of Alexander the Great's Empire?

2019-12-27 01:49:58 UTC  

Mesopotamia, Egypt or Persia?

2019-12-27 01:50:03 UTC  

that historians wrote about it

2019-12-27 01:50:13 UTC  

In terms of the value it provided to the Greek people and the empire

2019-12-27 01:55:11 UTC  

well it far apart quickly after his death

2019-12-27 01:55:20 UTC  

most of the wealth was received from Egypt / Persia tho

2019-12-27 01:55:25 UTC  

Probably Persia

2019-12-27 01:55:31 UTC  

@Leaf Probably 0 to the Greek people

2019-12-27 01:55:43 UTC  

he took the best warriors they had and married them to sand people

2019-12-27 01:55:54 UTC  

What was long lasting was the Hellenic culture left by the cities he founded

2019-12-27 01:55:56 UTC  

That was his legacy

2019-12-27 01:56:02 UTC  

BUT, it did spread hellenism to the east

2019-12-27 01:56:06 UTC  

and probably led to Christianity / western dominance

2019-12-27 01:56:08 UTC  

yes

2019-12-27 01:56:16 UTC  

Right up until islam fucked all that up

2019-12-27 01:56:35 UTC  

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

2019-12-27 01:56:42 UTC  

He would leave Greek soldiers in cities old and newly founded and raise Persian children on Hellenic schooling

2019-12-27 01:56:47 UTC  

As well, Greeks were basically the majority in much of Anatolia

2019-12-27 01:56:59 UTC  

I'd say it expanded their living space and turned Egypt into a huge commercial boon

2019-12-27 01:57:06 UTC  

Dunno about Persia, that's why I ask

2019-12-27 01:57:12 UTC  

Wtf was the benefit of Persia?

2019-12-27 01:57:18 UTC  

Just because it was cool 😎

2019-12-27 01:57:21 UTC  

oh shid JF INTJ confirmed

2019-12-27 01:57:33 UTC  

INTP master race

2019-12-27 01:57:40 UTC  

Lots of treasuries in Persia @Leaf and important market hubs

2019-12-27 01:57:44 UTC  

<:ahem:639979147782914084>

2019-12-27 01:57:44 UTC  

I test INTP/INTJ borderline

2019-12-27 01:57:49 UTC  

Little more INTP

2019-12-27 01:58:05 UTC  

In terms of pure value, would you say Egypt was probably more valuable or slightly less?

2019-12-27 01:58:12 UTC  

Seems like it yielded the most long term benefit

2019-12-27 01:58:20 UTC  

He spread Hellenic culture as far as India

2019-12-27 01:58:22 UTC  

Although Constantinople did for a long time I guess

2019-12-27 01:58:24 UTC  

Yeah ik

2019-12-27 01:58:24 UTC  

it had a lasting effect

2019-12-27 01:58:34 UTC  

Until the big river they all shit in

2019-12-27 01:58:36 UTC  

But the real reason they went to Persia was because of Alexander

2019-12-27 01:58:40 UTC  

The river of shit

2019-12-27 01:58:43 UTC  

Ganges

2019-12-27 01:58:57 UTC  

Forgot the name for a second lol
