Re: A Time For Oscars
hi Jan I'm pleased you looked at John Wayne as Ghenghis Khan...Absolutely off the wall...Even the horses were so wrong...Not the shaggy real monghul Poneys but those huge western Steeds. As said before the Modern movies on him look so much real...Its really a shame that Oliver Stone couldnt take a l...

Re: Alexander the Great and his 'equality'
Assander Hello In my view Alexander was very very good at Propoganda and even more so at his own...Its a very nice liberal viewpoint to have on Alexander...But even been an admirer of the mans Genius...I dont think he was an angel and really thought seriously about this human comming together. To me...

Re: Ancients Behaving Badly
Torture As part of retribution and punishment...Thats kind of Ironic with the log in name for myself in Pothos. Bessus was well tortured as part of his punishment...Fair to say it was assume and accepted that The Persians dished it out to him...Cutting his nose and ears off. Bessus arrest and death ...

Hi My Names Richard New to the Forum...I initially open this site having just watched John Wayne as Ghenghis Khan and have to say that the Duke as Ghenghis Khan was equally mayme more miscast than Farrel as Alexander.

Second Hand Coffin
During a recent trip abroad I took Andrew Chuggs Quest For Alexanders Tomb. Although I found some interesting points I must say the book is rather repetative...Where as the Author reiterates points over and over in a kind of way to make it more like it must have been so. I cant imagine the extravaga...

Now im pretty emphatic about Alexander as an all round Military tactici...
