Alexander was here?
Posted: Thu May 07, 2015 11:02 pm
Hi all,
I think read somewhere (I think in an issue of Archaeology Magazine maybe 10 years ago?) that stones were found in Central Asia with "Alexander was here" or the equivalent carved in Greek, indicating that he had conquered a particular piece of land. Now, I could totally be misremembering this, and I have scoured the internet looking for confirmation and have come up empty. Does anyone know anything about him doing anything at all like this?
Thanks!
