I have a question that I couldn't find, it's over Alexander the great.
Why can it be said that the Age of Alexander the Great marked the first truly international culture in history?

The Age of Alexander the Great was a mixture of both Greek and Asian arts. Before Alexander, Greek art was considered Hellenic. When Alexander the Great conquered as far as the Indus River, he absorbed Persian, Arab, some Indian, and Egyptian culture. He liked them so much that he brought the cultures back.
To describe the mixture is called Hellenistic (-ic to -istic). Hellenistic considered the following: polygamy, combined architecture, trade, free-flowing sculptures, and more (like the Rosetta Stone where there was a translation of two forms of Greek and one set of Egyptian heiroglyphs on a stone).

that's not a question you're supposed to find, you are supposed to figure out the answer given all your knowledge about Alexander.

He built an empire, he made his own way of doing things...
