The complete destruction of Persepolis was undoubtedly one of the greatest tragedies of the ancient world. That did not make Alexander great at all. It was a cowardly act by him and his men. He knew Greece or rather Macedonia would not be able to build a magnificent city so out of jealousy, he ordered his men to burn and destroy Persepolis to the ground. On the contrary, the cathedral of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul was left intact and preserved by the Ottomans, didn't they?🤝😢🤝

A revenge that erases a whole civilization, culture and history is beyond madness or revenge. It's biled jealousy and depraved envy

Graecia (Γραικία) and people Graeci (Greeks) have nothing in common with MACEDONIA and MACEDONIANS. They were enemies. They were Aeolians, Ionians, Achaeans, and Dorians BUT NOT MACEDONIANS.

I don’t know why Greece is getting the glory. Alexander the Great was half Albanian and half Macedonia. He had nothing to do with Greece.

inaccuracy the burning document toward the end is in Arabic. Should have been Farsi. Arabs were still in the Arabian Peninsula not beyond

This history clip is the best I have heard and seen. The lines, voice and music all blend into a carefully choreographed tale. It literally takes me back in time to the days when this event took place.
