Alexander is believed to have killed his friend Clitus while in a drunken rage.
As a child, Alexander was tutored by the philosopher Aristotle.
Alexander was inspired by the feats of the warriors in Homer's Iliad and always kept a copy of the epic poem under his pillow. When Alexander attacked Thebes, he ordered all structures destroyed except temples and the home of the poet Pindar. Alexander founded some 70 cities within his empire, many of them named Alexandria.

Well, according to the History Channel Alexander the Great was witness to a battle between two types of “Sky Ships” that caused the walls of a fortress that he was laying siege to crumble and that is why he won the battle…
There are medieval paintings of the battle showing black cylindrical objects shooting “Fire” at red flying objects.
I always found the concept of aliens fascinating but after learning of this battle and the documents that still exist from first hand accounts as well as art from later eras I have started looking in the back ground of ancient art and have discovered more and more fascinating floating objects, especially in biblical paintings.
Check into the records of the Ancient Egyptians and their sightings, documented by pharos, priest, and peasant alike and you will become, if not a believer, at least a little more open minded then before.
Check out the History Channel Website… It is fascinating!!!

He conquered the Island city of Tyre by having his men build a causeway to the island to move siege machinery on. Showing that NOTHING would stand in the way of his conquests. He was the son of Philip II of Macedon who united northern Greece. He founded the City of Alexandria in Egypt, and named it after his favorite person. He also founded multiply other Alexandria's across his conquest. Those changed names eventually.

He was a true leader, and literally led from the front. He was probably bisexual. He undid the Gordian knot by cheating (he chopped it open instead of untying it). His mother pretty much convinced everybody he was part god. He allegedly tamed an untamable horse (Bocephus) by simply talking nice to it.
He died at a very young age, under suspicious circumstances. He was either poisoned or drank himself to death.
If he were alive today, he'd be Paris Hilton. Seriously.
