Re: Netflix’s Alexander..

Can you give me a list of all the movies? I've seen a lot but it seems there are many movies I've missed. As for television/streaming documentaries, there are innumerable ones. Possibly one of the best is Michael Wood's 'In the Footsteps of Alexander', but there are plenty of others, some of which ...

Re: New users

Actually, there is only the option of "Log In" now - no "Sign Up" or "Register" anymore. I actually thought that you guys had closed further memberships deliberately (since there are a lot of fake/bot accounts pouring in). But yes, the site no longer shows the option of...

Re: Ancient Babylon 3D reconstruction

Wow, thank you for the updated information regarding these places! I must admit that I mostly had Michael Wood's "In the Footsteps of ATG" in mind while thinking about tracing Alexander's route in the present day. And yet, the book is obviously quite old by now (though still marvellous), a...

Re: Ancient Babylon 3D reconstruction

woa, thanks to all for this thread. narrowing down where Alexander spent his last hours. Amazing! Thank you, Chris! And I hope that there will be lots of pictures from Central Asia coming up soon (that is, if you do manage to embark upon that tour to Uzbekistan/Tajikistan). :) I only wish Afghanist...

Re: Ancient Babylon 3D reconstruction

Hi, Thanks for the post. The images are wonderful. Must have been simply amazing for Alexander to visit- the zigurrat, hanging gardens, Gate of Ishtar, not to mention the palaces. Best regards, Dean. Thank you for replying, Dean! Yes, it must have been an awe-inspiring experience for Alexander when...

Re: Ancient Babylon 3D reconstruction

Yes, Plutarch and Arrian both point this out in their accounts! First, the entire thing from Plutarch (one can only guess the locations of the bathhouse and the swimming pool, but the "palace on the other river bank" seems quite clear) : The following account of the illness is given in the...

Ancient Babylon 3D reconstruction

Here is an excellent reconstruction of the ancient city of Babylon: http://www.kadingirra.com/ It was created in 2013 for the Mesopotamia exhibition of the Royal Ontario Museum. The project appears to be extensively researched and well-made (especially the "Palaces" part - it is a feast fo...

Re: Alexander's birthdate

I personally think that the 22/23 July date is the most probable. Those who have even a little knowledge about the astrological signs, would immediately see how Alexander doesn't fit into a 'Cancerian' mold at all! Plus, many ancient historians have repeatedly emphasized the 'fiery' nature of his te...

Re: Alexander the God by Maurice Druon

Hello, I just joined the Forum after years of browsing through it without an account :P I am very much interested in this book, especially the 'astrological parts' you mentioned above - but cannot buy it at the moment. Would it be possible to send me only the first parts of it, wherein the "Ale...
