In Wednesday’s class we watched more presentations.
I learned new things such as how Alexander invaded India. I learned that some people, who he was
fighting against, would just surrender before battle because of his reputation
to defeat anyone he battles with. In 326 B.C. Alexander battled with King Porus,
and won. However, Bucephilis died in battle so he named the city Buckephalia after
the horse. We also learned about his death. He died around the age of 32. There were many possibilities
and explanations to why he could have died, but the main hypothesis were:
•
Alcoholic
liver disease
•
Poisoning
•
Fever
•
Malaria
•
Some
type of FLU
It was absolute
chaos after he died since he didn't leave nay one in charge He just said
"it goes to the strongest." After 20 years of war finally 3 kingdoms
were formed to rule their own portions of Greece. These were called the
Hellenistic kingdoms. After his death they had body mummified with honey. It is
still unknown what happened to body.
