| Alexander and Hephaestion |
Just a few months before his death he had lost Hephaistion Alexander's closest most trusted ally and his beloved companion who was his second in command.
Hephaestion too fell ill with a fever for seven days, which makes we believe that he may be poisoned by conspirators.
There are several theories speculated backed by various scientific reasonings
- he could have been poisoned by a wine made from the plant
- West Nile fever could be a possible cause, as alexander’s body, was not decayed after death!
- Alexander's symptoms match up with brain disorder ).
Whatever the may be the reason, he was a HELL OF A FIGHTER and A TOTAL BADASS and killed several enemy commanders in single combat! He was also wounded more often than Rambo! His body would have a ridiculous amount of battle scars and combined with his habit of binge drinking its little wonder that he died so young!

| Caesar Augustus thought of Alexander the Great |
Alexander's resting place was visited by Augustus, who is said to have placed flowers on the tomb and a golden diadem upon Alexander's head.
By the 4th century AD the resting place of Alexander was no longer known.
The location of the According to one legend, the body lies in a crypt beneath an early Christian church.
Alexander had no obvious heir to the throne at the time of his death. However, It was suggested Alexander’s son Alexander IV becomes King instead, and he and a group of others would-be guardians.
Yeah, that’s worked about 0 times in recorded history. It was In the later recorded history It is said that On his deathbed, his last words were "hoti to kratisto "
Given the man's unparalleled achievements and impact on human history, his larger than life persona extends to the present a day where it captivates endless generations of people that share that special connection to our ancient past. I can't help but wish his demise might have come a decade later during his siege of Carthage or something equally fantastic.
good
