00:00Alexander the Great.
00:02With an unquenchable thirst for triumph,
00:05he dreamed of nothing less than the domination of Asia.
00:10He left behind a glorious trail of ten years of unprecedented conquests,
00:16and with a proud chest he hurled his legions into the fray of war
00:21as if defeat were a myth.
00:24His warriors, exhausted, longed for the sweet return home
00:29and the enjoyment of the obtained riches.
00:32However for the monarch, those desires were dust
00:36compared to his voracious appetite for conquest.
00:41The wheel of fortune began to turn against him in the scorching lands of India,
00:47where he encountered the human wall named Porus.
00:51In a battle that bled his army and took his noble steed,
00:56despite his men's pleas, Alexander, stubborn,
01:00nearly led them to slaughter against a fresh enemy army.
01:05Until, in a dramatic turn, he was forced to heed the cries for retreat.
01:12The return home marked the beginning of the end for the titan of Macedonia.
01:18In a final act of Greek tragedy, he fell gravely ill.
01:23On his deathbed, opportunistic generals plagued him with questions about his successor.
01:30With a final breath, laden with disdain,
01:34he left them an answer shrouded in enigma,
01:37to the strongest.
01:40That sentence was the spark that ignited a sea of ambitions,
01:45unleashing a war that tore his empire apart before it could be solidified.
01:51Legend takes a lurid turn by narrating that Alexander's body did not decompose for days,
01:58elevating him to the status of a deity.
02:02But modern science, with its skeptical lens,
02:06proposes a darker and more chilling end.
02:10Alexander, trapped in a coma, may have lain motionless,
02:14hearing the treacherous whispers of those he once commanded,
02:18before being buried alive in the cruelest of ironies.
