First of all, he had tremendous knowledge from the field of medicine, and he just couldn't die at once. If he had malaria, he would have had symptomes, and treat the disease properly. I think you should reconsider your answers!!!

Hi Nikola,

Alexander did not, as you say, have "tremendous knowledge" about medicine. The ancient world believed that diseases were caused by evil humors, and other such bits of nonsense, and so they bled people, or used worthless herbal remedies.

The ancients had no cure for malaria, because they didn't even know what it was. The very name "Malaria" stems from the ancient and foolish belief that the disease came from breathing fetid aid. (Mal = bad, aria = air).

And indeed, as Plutarch reminds us, Alexander DID have symptoms before he died.

Pretty cool stat...however I consider Someone on Mike and Mike stated it first-rate a couple of years in the past. "We're making development, while its now not a giant deal". Like different folks stated (albeit whilst complaining) it could be pleasant to have Hispanic coaches, and Russian coaches, however actually that the ones cultures do not play soccer. If you seem on the NFL, its fifty five% black, forty% white, and prefer five% each different race, so its most effective ordinary that there could fairly most effective be black and white coaches...this would not also be an problem if there were not racist house owners again within the day that would not provide those men a hazard...I simply wish that someday quickly.. this fairly received''t be a tale.

While you are clearly sincere about your opinions, this isn't a chat room. You have to offer a question. You may not like the responses but that is the format of this venue. Please rephrase you offering.
