Fun fact. Alexander's land bridge is still there, and today there is a starbucks that currently stands on it. Just to put into perspective the lasting effects of Alexander on our world today.
Not only that, the modern city of Tyre encompasses the island, which is now a peninsula, the land bridge which is now sanded up and very wide, and the original location of the old city
And Starbucks belongs to the Greeks greatest enemy the Zionists.
I like to go there.
Alexander invented star bucks!
... and the lasting effects of Starbucks.
"My King, how can we possibly besiege an island without a navy of our own?"
"We shall make it an island no longer."
Later: "Well, I guess that didn't work. Let's just wait for our navy to get here."
A man with superb will and determination. How can one not Love Alexander?!
@@alltat it did come close tho, and allowed for the distractions that allowed alexander to do the assault on the breach the ram-Ship did with his Agema later
Ceaser: I like this kid.
Ezekiel 25,26...7 for this what the sovereign lord says I will bring against tyre Nebuchadnezzar he will plunder your wealth and loot your merchandise you will be a place to spread there fishnets
Man can you imagine Alexander's feats. The previous guy that attempted to take it struggled for 13 years and still couldn't take it. Alexander did it in 6-7 months lol.
That's why he is one of the most famous people ever lived and has the title of Great.
@Cheryl Keep reading history until you find out what Alexander did except from military intelligence. You will be surprised.
Because that fella didn't have ships from Greece or Lebanon
@@firstnamelastname4249 it took him 13 years.... Couldn't he build his own ships?
@@ΠαναγιώτηςΜ-ξ2ζ You have a point but still ships aren't cost efficient thing neither upkeeping an army for siege throughout 13 years besides King Alexander got many ships outside his fleet.
Very well done. This battle is almost like from a movie, very fascinating.
Hi
any way to win battle from other side
no, no it isn't/
There is always a way. We have to find it
@@musadesmond6813 I was asking for battle not for insta hacks lol😂
It's just mind-blowing that Alexander at the age of only twenty-something had a brilliant understanding of the importance of logistics and supplies. I mean, I am 26 and I still can't find my socks....
That's because you're a woman.
@@justinwbohner Yes because all the 26 years old male have conquered half of the known world.
@@vasileiospapazoglou2362 I think I had a sandwich named after you. It was good.
@@justinwbohner it is my honour sir
Didn't you comment on another video that you can't get out of bed? Glad to see you're making improvements
Alexander: “This island is rather nice, but something feels... missing.”
**Builds a peninsula**
Alexander: “Better.”
I'm sure they're pretty _tyred_ after the battle.
This made me wish that I was one of the Macedonian diplomats.
AndyRandom i too wish to be dead

The fact Alexander led so many high risks battles himself just blows my mind and really sets him apart
the dude was a certified nut case, But a brilliant one, and insanely lucky.
yes, a king that fought his own battles, not staying back to command as most kings and generals do. I love this man.
So all the accounts say. But I guess we can never truly know how much in the thick of it Alexander was
He grew up with people fucking with Macedonia & Greece, he had probably planned this out long before he was King.
Imagine a king that fights his own battles. Wouldn't that be a sight?
The bridge just got 10 feet wider!
We'll build a Bridge and make the Tyrenese pay for it!
The Tyreans don't send their best, they send goat cheese merchants and fish mongers and low quality stone masons. A few, I assume, are good people.
It was much wider, it somehow shrinked during the render. Quite awkward.
Just grab 'em by the Persia.
Make Macedonia Great Again!
... i hate to say it, but while the voice in past videos was alright, this narrator is much better and I don't know what happened, but the dialogue/script is also much clearer and better paced.
You need to keep improving. Cut weaknesses, boost strenghts etc. That's what it's all about.
I was just thinking the same myself.

I guess the Babylonians found the 13-year siege very... Tyresome. I'll show myself out.
...........
Yes, and the King of Babylon liked to babble on about how great he was.
LOL, you win the internet today my friend.....
Nebuchadnezzar was no pushover! It was impressive that Tyre defied him yet was strong enough to survive.
I would say your joke was just on the Mede-ium of being well done.
Just got back from Tyre, the columns and debris are still visible on the west side of the former island. The ruins of the temple and hippodrome are a UNESCO heritage site. Beautiful and worth visiting.
Hope you enjoyed your stay. I'm from Tyre, The ruins are Roman/Byzantine built hundreds of years after Alexander.
How can there be a city of tyres if cars didn't exist back then?

Hello from tyre/lebanon ❤
Same here
Do you surrender?
Hello from Spain. Being from Lebanon, how Alexandros/Alexander is remembered there? As a great warrior; or as a monster? I love history, and Alexander is part of it. I consider him the greatest warrior of all times, not as much becouse bloody seazures like Tyre but becouse he tryed a politic of reconciliation with Persia, instead of smashing them. Taking away theyr cukture and impossing Greek´s. He didn´t act like the romans, and centralized the power in Macedonia to rule every "provence" of Persia. Of course this is an interpretation, I guess he can be in the weast "Alexander the monster" like Brian Bosworth books paint him. I can only say that I wish there would have been an Alexander in the Spanish war against the fascist, Hitler, Mussolinim Morocco troops and more. I wonder what a genious mind like his, and his skills in war could have done in 1936.1939. Just curiosity for history. Greetings.
@@libertomakhno6385 Reconciliation by slaughtering civilians and killing them just because of their racial and religious background? alexander was a fascist, lmfao
@@saeedvazirian Fascisim did not exist in 320 bC, nor did your modern ethics of the 21st century. They were purely barbaric times, an ecstasy of blood, philosophy, art and politics and the epitome of the Art of War, no civilization, territory or tribe was innocent of anything,that's not my opinion, that's a fact. Only the best persist in time through history, and Alexander (not in vain called "The Great", "Magno" and a reference to most emperors of what you would say fascist Roman Empire) was one of them despite your awesome shitty comment. One of the best statesmen, diplomats and generals of the ancient world, a man without philosophical and military limits. I'm not wasting any more time, just read more books on this man and do yourself a favor.
If you don't like my English make an effort because I don't care. Saludos from Spain
For every old Tyre you've gotta have a new Tyre. Y'know, just in case. You may have to replace your Tyres.
Also, always replace the entire set of tyres with new ones. If you don't, they will wear unevenly.
The word "Carthage" in phoenician means the new city, a colony that got too big to make colonies... you can call it a tyres factory lol.
"Send the woman and children to Cartthage! even if we lose not like anything bad will happen there to our great grand children"
Romans join the chat*
Still salty to this day
Quite unfortunate for the besiegers, really. They would have had a better feast after the siege had the women stayed.
So, ancient torpedoes, ancient amphibious assault, and massive engineering projects on both sides? I could only have imagined such amazing feats in modern times!
Torpedoes ?
G. C. Yes pedoes the Greeks liked that kinda carry on
You forgot the Napalm.
there's nothing amazing about this, lmfao. The Persians already did this centuries prior.
@@saeedvazirian it's true, but at that time, Persian lost. U have to accept that as a fact.
Read Arrian's biography on Alexander. Thought this battle, relatively unknown, was his greatest victory. Demonstrated his resolve and ruthlessness to friend and foe alike.
What's even more incredible is that these events were foretold in the Bible before they happened!
Ezekiel 26:12 "They will loot your resources, plunder your merchandise, tear down your walls, and pull down your fine houses; then they will throw your stones and your woodwork and your soil into the water." - a prophecy against Tyre.
Agree my christian brother because the bible truly existed in these times at gods hands
No it wasnt 😂😂😂😂
To whoever wants to know. The island of tyre no longer exists. It was burnt and turned to rubbles by Alexander. Only 7 iconic rocks are left from the island of tyre. Only old tyre remains and its full of ancient ruins from many different civilization. Tyre along with the city of Saidon, and the city of Byblos are one of the oldest documented cities in world history.
He was really pissed, wasn't he?
No. Sorry. ("one of the oldest documented cities etc). No. And BTW the name is Sidon. (not Saidon). It has a meaning.
Ezekiel 26:12
5:20 That poor little burning worker, who fell into the sea in a desperate attempt to save his life! That made me better understand why Alexander was so angry and Tyreless during the siege =D
ik, but that's prob 10-100 men jumping in the ocean.
@@smokyblackeyes3615 Please no Q.Q
@@jangozubr Are you sure about that?
The destruction of Tyre was prophesied in the bible. So was Alexander's empire
will you someday, make battles based on the Chinese Three Kingdom War?
I second that!
Andromeda Prima I think that is not really possible because unlike the west Chinese historians don't care to record detail of battles only the results.
and chinese history kinda boring
The battle of Chibi would be amazing
YES! I would love some Chinese battles either from the three kingdoms or anything before. I feel like everything is too centered around Western cultures/battles because obviously, we are westerners. But it wont hurt to peek over and see whats going on to the east every once in a while.
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING, very well animated and clear. I’m Lebanese and I admire Alexander, he was very clever at a young age. Oh and Tyrians were very smart as well, but what helped Alexander win, was the fact that he never gave up.
I love your content dude, you're better than most "history" channels these days.
I feel so bad for the tyrians. they were really smart!
More Crusade Battles please or of the mongolian invasion versus The Hashashins
The Assassins did not really control land, they only controlled castles, some of which the Mongols took during their invasion of the Abbassid domains.
Ahh..... Hashashins, one of my favourites. They never had hidden blades but rather a knife that had been tied up under their arms... I agree with you on making this one!
I remember trying to the this city in Empire Earth. That siege was hell
Fun Fact Alexander the Great fulfilled the prophecy against Tyre in Ezekiel 26. He even predicted it’s destruction and how Old Tyre would be cast down and thrown into the sea. As Alexander did when he tore it down to make a bridge across to New Tyre
not actually
@@tofu8164 actually he did exactly what the Bible predicted
@@tofu8164 You can’t ignore fulfilled prophecy. There’s much more evidence for Christianity by the way. Reach out to me if you want to here it. Remember that going to hell is a choice. God doesn’t want people to go there, but his nature requires sin to be punished. However he’s also merciful and died on the cross for our sins. You don’t want to die without Christ. This is your eternity at stake. I know it sounds unbelievable, but so is the universe even coming into existence. Trust me, Christianity is undoubtedly truthful.
The way the inhabitants of captures cities were treated was brutal
I noticed that in prolonged sieges, besiegers punish their victims more harshly. In Constantinople for example, Fetih let his soldiers rape, murder and ransom the population for 3 days before he ordered to stop (some say he even cried, which is possible given his tender age of 21). The ones in Hagia Sofia temple were spared (just like the people in the temple in Tyre). This video confirms to me that it's a common theme in exhausting sieges.
it was common practice to let your men to pillage, plunder and rape after a difficult siege. The times back then where a lot harsher and the mind-set a lot different, soldier usually were competing against each other to see who raped more women for example. That said, the reason they let them do all that was because it improved your army's morale while it destroyed the enemies' by spreading fear in other cities and soldier were more loyal to their generals
That was a pretty common practice in sieges that the besiegers would rape, pillage and slaughter the inhabitants of a city if it doesn't open up its gates and surrender
It helps boost the spirit and morale of your men especially after a long and bloody siege and assault plus it can stand as a reminder for other cities that they should rather surrender
It was meant as a deterrent. "if you surrender immediately we will only pillage you a little bit and take some tribute. If you make us wait a lot and work a lot to get your city we'll kill you all",
Seriously, it's insane.
Just the logistics of murdering thousands of inhabitants and disposing of their bodies are mindboggling, never mind actually doing it.
"We require more siege engines!" - Alexander The Great (332 BC)
I gotta say, this gives me new insight into the military capabilities of Alexander (who at the time was this twenty-something year old boy, remember) because to attack and capture this excellently defended city takes a whole different set of skills than winning an open field battle like Issus.
Alexander the great declares operation flat tyre!

I'm Lebanese and even I could admit we got our ass kicked
Well you put on a good fight though. The siege of Tyre was one of the hardest battles Alexander won.
Give it time, and even mountains can be eroded by the wind. Alexander just had the bigger, more disciplined army and navy.
Not to downplay but sieges are always going to be harder than open battles due to walls and tyre was a sort of island making it even more difficult,
We Phoenicians weren't really the best fighters... not even defending ourselves. We were resilient for sure. Our military strength mainly focused on the navy since we had the largest Sea trading roots back then. Our trading roots stretched to south England and west Senegal.

Jehovah God prophesied the destruction of Tyre through many prophets.
(Ezekiel 26:1-5) "Here I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up many nations against you, just as the sea brings up its waves. They will destroy the walls of Tyre and tear down her towers, and I will scrape away soil and make her a shining, bare rock."
(Isaiah 23:1-8) "A pronouncement about Tyre: Wail, you ships of Tarshish! For the port has been destroyed; it cannot be entered. From the land of Kittim, it has been revealed to them. Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland. The merchants from Sidon who cross the sea have filled you. Over many waters went the grain of Shihor, The harvest of the Nile, her revenue, bringing the nations' profit. Be ashamed, O Sidon, you stronghold of the sea, because the sea has said: "I have not had birth pains, and I have not given birth, Nor have I brought up young men or raised young women." As when they heard the report about Egypt, People will be in anguish over Tyre's report. Cross over to Tarshish! Wail, you inhabitants of the coastland! Is this your city that was exultant from long ago, from her early times? Her feet used to take her to distant lands to reside. Who has decided this against Tyre, The bestower of crowns, Whose merchants were princes, Whose tradesmen were honored in all the earth?"
(Jeremiah 25:15) "For this is what Jehovah the God of Israel said to me: "Take this cup of the wine of wrath out of my hand, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it."
(Jeremiah 25:22) "all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the island in the sea;"
(Jeremiah 25:27) "And you must say to them, 'This is what Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, says: "Drink and get drunk and vomit and fall so that you cannot get up because of the sword that I am sending among you."
(Joel 3:4) "Also, what do you have against me, O Tyre and Sidon and all the regions of Philistia? Are you repaying me for something? If you are repaying me, I will swiftly, speedily bring your repayment on your heads."
(Amos 1:10) "So I will send a fire onto the wall of Tyre, and it will consume her fortified towers.'"
(Zechariah 9:3,4) "Tyre built herself a rampart. She piled up silver like dust and gold like the dirt of the streets. Look! Jehovah will take away her possessions, and he will strike down her army into the sea, and she will be consumed in the fire."
People cannot ignore the accuracy of its prophetic fulfillment. That's just one example of how accurate Bible prophecy is. There are many more, and even ones that are soon to happen.
The Greeks did it, not Christians so there was no god. It was Zeus not to mention none of what you said mentions Alexander or what happened specifically.
Every great city falls and Tyre is no different so checkmate.
What is the earliest documented battle?
Battle of Megiddo (15th century BC) just look it up on google goddammit

you do know, that the expression "god damn it" actually means that "God shall damn it" and not different, maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that I'm right, because at least in my native language this makes sense
One gruesome detail of the siege was that the Tyrian defenders heated sand up until it was nearly red hot and then poured it down into the armor of the Macedonian soldiers who were trying to scale the walls! Can you imagine the horror of having red hot sand going down your back underneath your armor and you would be unable to do anything about it.
They threw it with machine

@@saeedvazirian why exactly are you so hostile?
The Bible foretold interesting details about how the island part of Tyre would be conquered:
"I will send a fire onto the wall of Tyre, and it will consume her fortified towers" and "Yahweh will take away her possessions, and he will strike down her army into the sea; and she will be consumed in the fire" ( Amos 1:10; Zechariah 9: 3, 4).
"they will throw your stones and your woodwork and your soil into the water" (Ezekiel 26:12)
All great cities fall, Tyre was no exception. That's like the Bible saying women will give birth and when they do you say omg Bible predicted it.
It was already going to happen, Bible didn't predict anything. Unless it specifically named key people like Alexander then it is just a coincedence.
@@Euro.Patriot Yes, of course, because to say that the army of Tyre would have been defeated at sea and its stones thrown into the sea almost 200 years in advance is just a coincidence. Tyre consisted of two parts: a continental part, which was destroyed centuries earlier by the Babylonians; and an insular part, consisting of a fortress with high walls and towers. When it was first destroyed by the Babylonians, they did not attack the island part as well. This is the interesting thing, that later the fortress in the middle of the sea was also destroyed by the Greeks, as the prophecies indicated.
It's never a good idea to kill the messengers.
Unless they're Persian. For them, remember to punch your rewards card.

THNX
thank you. it may interest you to know that the destruction of Tyre was prophesied in incredible detail by the old testament prophet Ezekiel in chapter 26.
Very true!
The Tyrians also enraged the Macedonians by torturing to death all captured soldiers on the city walls for all to see. They also heated sand in pots until it was red hot and poured it over the walls onto the Greeks as they assaulted the walls. The burning sand got into every little crack and crevice in their armor and clothes, and they fell to their deaths or burned horrifically. The Greeks vowed to take no prisoners, and were surprised when Alexander ordered any civilian taking refuge in the temple of Melquart be spared.
5:24 lol love the little dot guy running out of the siege tower on fire and dives into the water. If I may quote Kramer off of Seinfeld, “He sank like a rock” 😀
Alexander really unisland the island absolute mad lad

Omfg i just realised tyre means sour and that is what we call it here in lebanon lmao i am loving in right now lol maybe the siege was just 100 m away from me
Oh my god!! This is one of the greatest sieges of all time. Thanks so much. I love this channel.
My birth town is Pella, Greece.(Alexander's & Phiipi's II capital) and I know Alexandre's history..."by the day"...!
No question about WHO was the greatest commander,,,as diplomat, military, strategy, tactic, warrior, leader...it is ALEXANDER.
Julius Caesar spoke the Greek language... studied in Greece (Rhodes etc) and knew all the strategies of Alexander.in his young career in Spain, he has been in a sanctuary of Heracles (near Cadiz), and made a statement..." he has concurred the world and was only 33 y.o. and I did nothing!" (Plutarch, Ceasar's biography) of, His ambition was to become a "new Alexander",...! From Caesar's time 1st century BC, til today 21th century AD, the strategies, tactics and all military warfare are objects of teaching in ALL military Academies of the world.

Actually it was Tyre which did good defense with limited resources.. If Alexander didn't got ships then he also would have taken more than a decade to take the city
he would never take it without ships....they could resupply indefinitely.

Did you know the Bible foretold the sieges of Tyre from the Babylonian empire and Alexander the great?
"And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up. And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations. And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD. For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people. ...(verse12, Alexander the great and Tyre) And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water." (Ezekiel 26:1-7,12|KJV)
"and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water." Alexander the great built a bridge to Tyre from the rubble of old Tyre and it was prophecied from GOD hundreds of years before it happened.
Never clicked so fast befor
Gotta feel somewhat sorry for the remaining citizens of Tyre. Their fates were sealed when they had beheaded the envoys if they were to lose the city. Reports tell us that the slaughter of the citizens if Tyre was some of the most brutal throughout all the years of Alexander’s campaign. The disrespect by not letting Alexander offer a sacrifice to their temple. The killing of the envoys. All the extra time wasted bullring the land bridge along w/ all the ppl killed in its construction led to a blood lust from the soldiers that reportedly had em physical ripping citizens limps apart while alive. Disemboweling ppl and forcing em to walk while holding their intestines. Some absolutely crazy rampages even for Alexander’s time. The lucky ones died in battle.
U mad Nebuchadnezzar?
This commentator is my favourite. Nice intelligent vaguely Southern Hemisphere well educated. Very nice diction, enunciation, expression. Just right for this...
"They will loot your resources, plunder your merchandise, tear down your walls, and pull down your fine houses: then they will throw your stones and your woodwork and your soil into the water."
Ezekiel. And now you know why he is called a Prophet.
Why is he called a prophet?
Christian Cristof because Ezekiel spoke of how God would use Alexander the Great and the Macedonians to siege the city and destroy it two centuries before it actually happened. Isaiah 23 and Ezekiel 26 were written while the Assyrians still reigned. It’s incredible and proves the Bible is truly God’s Word.
@@Jondude201 and god needed an army ? Why he didn't create seism ? Is your god play with human lives, or he is just idiot ?
Who said God needed anything?
It's hard to put yourself there but as far as foreign conquerors go Alexander was quite different. For the city's that submitted to his rule were able to continue life as usual. Seems like they should have jus let Alexander make a sacrifice at the temple n let him move on to Egypt
Honestly, i am so excited when I saw that this video is uploaded.
Ezekiel ch 26 and 27 (700 BC) prophecied this to the precise detail 350 years before it happened.
Watch this then read Ezekiel carefully how precise the words are.
The city of Tyre was glorious but corrupt, so cast down;
the destruction began with Babylon and came in waves for several hundred years.
Alexander came nearly 400 years after Ezekiel wrote the scripture.
Chapter 26 and 27 are physical foreshadows depicting Lucifers fall in chapter 28.
This is the weightier matter.

Did it say Alexander did it?
I clicked so fast when I saw this
Yet another superb piece of work presented by BazBattles. I'm so very thankful for your historical replays and attention to historical detail. I hope you continue onwards for many years to come... or at least until you run out of Human History to retell. ;)
Ezekiel 26:12 587-586 BC
There was a prophecy regarding its destruction.
“They will plunder your wealth and loot your merchandise; they will break down your walls and demolish your fine houses and throw your stones, timber and rubble into the sea.”
The Lord tells history before it happens. God bless!!
Didn't see Alexander or Tyre mentioned once in there so it means nothing.
@@Euro.Patriot would you like to learn more before dismissing? I personally look into claims of all beliefs systems and scientific claims. You’ll find truth in the craziest places.
@@matthewvanwyhe1498 Still can't find anything in the Bible saying Alexander did it. Unless it said Alexander did it and mentioned him by name then it's meaningless.

Also, you have to consider that the “who” wasn’t very important for the people whom this was written to. @@Euro.Patriot, because you probably have a vastly different world view. I just thought I’d try to make this perspective more clear.
I do understand why someone wouldn’t pay attention to a “prophecy” if they didn’t believe in them or if the prophecy wasn’t completely specific. There are way too many self fulfilling prophecies out there.
Alexander doesnt fool around. The dude leads the charge always. Crazy, _but great
I got this in my Recommended and thought it was a historia civilis rip off.

I see you are also a man of YTP culture as well

Do Cannae! These videos are absolutely fantastic. I wish the History Channel invested in more stuff like this rather than most of the crap they show now.
This mission was such a pain in Empire Earth.
I heard of this from ancient empires, so I went on RUclips to look for a video on the battle I was curious about it. Thanks I’m glad someone did such a great video on it. 👍
Weird, I just watched a documentary yesterday on Alexander that went into detail about this siege!
Sam Grzelachowski name it
Search "The Life of Alexander The Great - Documentary" on youtube. It's about 2 hours long.
thanks
Younger brother: i wanted to play on your computer and now it's not working
Me: 8:27
YOGSCAST!
The new voice actor is really doing it for me (not trying to insult, but your accent makes it a little hard for me to understand^^) but your videos are still awesome man :D
for a guy who likes to read about a lot of random battles on the internet, channels like Historia Civilis and this one makes me so happy.
glad i found ya, subscribed.
yeah man i like that too, there is this others channels called "Reply History" and "NerdFactor" and a lot more, who they should make a mad hardcore orgy and give birth to a Series.
whatching those retancles is so satisfying.
HC is mostly about Ancient Rome; It's Government, Structure, Religion, Legions and etc. Although some of it's videos are about the battle of Agincourt, Nato and a few others.
To answer your question I think I would choose Baz Battles, for many reasons, their cinematography and narrative is actually pleasing(The old narrator was quite hard to follow though). I still like both videos though.
I didn't even know I liked battles until I found Historia Civilis. Something about the simplicity of the presentation really got me.
Bible describes this campaign in detail hundreds of years before it happened.
Hey Baz,
I love the Alexander vids! You should definitely do more of them, you're the only one doing good videos on him.
Also, I like how you used a new narrator; I don't mean to bash you, just props to being open to critisism!
Yuur videos are so beautiful what program are you using to make them?
