    This video starts off with the greatest academic lie ever told - "Alexander spread Greek culture to the "East". What East? India? China? Japan? Korea? Vietnam? Etc? Or, is this "East" Persia.... literally next door? 😆 🤣
    The Egyptians, Cushites, Ethiopians, Hitties, Hyksos, Babylonians, and Persians settled the entire Mediterranean nation thousands of years before Greece or Rome came into being.
    Concepts of supremacy are ignorant and very silly.
    Exactly what culture did Alexander take East? Writing? No.
    Mathematics? No.
    Map making? No.
    Ship building? No. Agriculture? No.
    Fiat money? No.
    Animal husbandry? No.
    Medicine? No.
    Astrology? No
    Art, music, drama, fine dining, fashion, pottery, stone or metal craft? No to all of these.
    So, what culture, other than the vulgarity of violence, destruction, and genocide did Alexander the Great "spread" East or anywhere?
    The Greeks tell us where they learned and who taught them. I have a list of over 200 source documents worn by Europeans about Greece and Rome that clearly reveal a far superior human story than the, "We are the greatest because of Alexander" mythos.
    Why did Alexander leave the supposed greatness of Greece and establish HIS city in Africa (Alexandria, Egypt)? Why did Ptolemy not return to Greece? Why did the Roman Emperor Constantine establish his city in Turkey and not Rome? Some things stop making sense when the right questions are asked.
    England and France didn't fought over Rome or Turkey, did they? They did fight over Egypt, the Sudan, and Ethiopia for thousands of extremely valuable artifacts upon which the cultures of Persia, Rome, and Greece were built.
    To know the intellectual level of Europe, after being occupied by Greece and Rome from 330 bce to 711 ce (1041 years) gave us the oldest English script exemplar, the "Textus Roffenis" in 1120 ce. The British Museum has a tremendous article about this text on their website.

      I believe Alexander DID bring gift cards to India.

    Alexandria was a Greek library with Greek knowledge, and people from all over the world went there to learn the Greek stuff and not Egyptian,.. because Egyptians never created anything!

      How silly! Alexander the Macedonian, LEFT "Greece" and attacked the land of Kemet, whose documented history dates to 3100 bce, at least 2600 years before The League of Corinth (Greece) came into existence, because Kemet had nothing! 😆 That's a genius move.
      The British Isles had nothing at the time, but he didn't attack them... or Spain... or Norway... or France... or Italy... or Germany... or Russia... etc He didn't build his Holy City in any of these not yet nations.
      He even attacked Persia AND India, but didn't build his Holy City there either. He didn't set up his son as ruler of either of these "empires". His son was a Pharaoh of Egypt... the people that "created nothing". Nothing is valuable stuff! 😆 🤣 😂
      Racism makes one stupid.
      Alexander took the PHARAONIC NAME, Meri-Amen setep-Ra Alkansdrs AND ESTABLISHED his "HOLY CITY" IN Kemet (Alexandria, EGYPT) NOT GREECE ... because the Kamau created nothing. 😆
      Every "Greek" and Roman leader from Alexander in 332 bce to Decius in 251 ce, a period of 583 years, TOOK KEMETIC NAMES... because the Africans had nothing.
      Every nation in Europe, and every major university in Europe and the United States study ancient Egypt... because they created nothing. 😆
      Racism is stupid.
      The New York Metropolitan Museum; the Museum of Fine Arts Boston; the Oriental Institute in Chicago; the British Royal Museum; etc are all built to house thousands of priceless artifacts as old as 14,000 bce because they were created by a people who created nothing. 😆
      Racism is stupid.
      The video even says that the scrolls were written on Egyptian papyri... because the Egyptians created nothing. 😆
      Racism is stupid. Racism makes people stupid. Don't be stupid.
