@naturalhistoryshorts: History Fact: Alexander The Great named ~20 cities after himself, became convinced he was Zeus's son after a priest at the oracle of Siwa greeted him as "son of god" (some claim in a miscommunication) and then killed Cleitus, his lifelong friend, at a dinner party for challenging his arrogance. 🏛️⚡️🤴 #naturalhistoryshorts #naturalhabitok #naturalhabitatshorts

Don't forget, the colossus of Rhodes is theorized to also be a depiction of Alexander, at least in likeness 😅

Abopabangerandajam :

20 cities and not a single heir

I’m glad Alexander never overreacted

Zac Pricener :

The captions move by a bit too quickly to read without needing to pause the video, especially with the font style.

John Jacob Jingleheimerschmidt :

The oracles didn’t tell him anything specifically. But al xanders family tree was “traced back” to Hercules which is a som of Zeus making the royal family descendants of Zeus as well and the representation of gods on earth. ALL ancient royal families used this trick to justify their royalty and to hold their power. The emperor of Japan is the last deity who is also the head of a country.

Wait wait wait. I did not think about this before. Is Alexander himself the reason why statues of him survived to this day, because he had several of them made all over the parts of the world that he took over?

Art Boy :

I don’t why you decided to do it, but for some reason, I absolutely love the puppet-like movements you’ve been giving the characters.
