Re: Alexander the Great
This was probably his greatest battle: Alexander vs Porus: YouTube - Alexander Revisited: Alexander vs Porus. India
Porus was the king of Punjab at the time, this battle was fought around near Jhelum river in Pakistan
Porus was amazing

There is a lot of controversy of how he died, it is known that he was severely injured in the battle with porus as you can see that on the video, a lot of people say he died eventually because of those injuries, but no body knows for sure. |

Re: Alexander the Great
I hated that Movie...Alexander The Great isn't Macedonias only contribution to history...Macedonia also gave birth to the Cyrillic alphabet which is the basis for Russian, Macadonian, Bulgarian and other Slavic languages..

If thats true then its probably to do with the fact that Ancient Pashtoon lands were invaded by many people including the Greeks.
