Скачать или смотреть The Battle of Hydaspes: Alexander’s Victory Against King Porus

The Battle of Hydaspes (326 BCE) was Alexander the Great’s final and most brutal victory—where he faced one of his fiercest enemies: King Porus and his army of 200 war elephants across a flooded river in ancient India.

In this cinematic breakdown, witness how Alexander outsmarted a vastly different army, using a secret night crossing and a flanking maneuver to shock the Indian forces at dawn. The battlefield erupts into chaos as elephants trample soldiers, archers fire from above, and Macedonian troops adapt in real time to turn the tide.

When the dust settled, Porus stood tall in defeat—and asked to be treated “like a king.”
Alexander honored him.

This video explores the strategy, scale, and legacy of the Battle of Hydaspes—a clash that tested Alexander like never before, and marked the farthest edge of his conquests.
