He conquered the world by 30. Then it all fell apart.

Alexander the Great is a name that has echoed through the corridors of power for over 2,000 years. Born to King Philip II of Macedon and the mystic Olympias, Alexander wasn't just a king, he was a force of nature. In this deep-dive documentary, we trace the meteoric rise of the Lion of Macedon, from the tactical brilliance of the Macedonian Phalanx to the burning palaces of Persepolis.

Explore the legendary battles of Gaugamela, Issus, and the Hydaspes. Discover how Alexander reverse-engineered the ancient world, bridging the gap between East and West, and why his own men eventually turned against him on the banks of the Hyphasis.

Was he a visionary philosopher seeking to unite humanity, or a paranoid tyrant consumed by his own ego? We analyze the "Gordian Knot" of his personality and the "Successor Wars" (The Diadochi) that tore his empire to shreds after his mysterious death in Babylon.

In this video, we cover:

The Assassination of Philip II and the rise of the boy-king.

The Siege of Tyre: Ancient Engineering’s greatest feat.
