Gaugamela was a battle wher Aleander the great defeated the persian king Darius III. Alexander greatly outnumber won the victory over increadible numbers allied against him.
"Supposedly, the battle was held near a hill in the form of a camel's hump, hence the name etymology: Tel Gomel or Tel Gahmal, which translates as "Mount Camel" in Hebrew. Others translate the name as "camel's stall" (Plutarch: "camel's house", in his Life of Alexander), and associate the place with a settlement. The most commonly accepted opinion about the location is (36.36° N 43.25° E), east of Mosul in northern modern-day Iraq – suggested by Sir Aurel Stein in 1938"
