| We're all a little mad! EC Moderator   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Some people Location: Las Vegas Age: 24 Posts: 5,542 Join Date: Jan 2008 |  Fact of the Day - Oct 14 I have been reading facts of the day and have decided to post them and see if you get as much out of it as I have. Enjoy! "Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) had conquered most of the known world by 323 BC. His empire reached from Asia Minor (Turkey) to India. A military commander at the age of 18, he was king of Greece at 20, ruler of Greece, western Asia, and Egypt by 24, and conqueror of the Persian Empire when he was 28. Alexander, son of Philip of Macedon, was taught by Aristotle. Shortly before he got to India, Alexander's best friend died and he was broken-hearted. He returned to Babylon where he was to prepare for the conquest of Arabia. He contracted a fever and died at 33. Alexander led his armies more than 12,000 miles (19,312 km). He was considered one of the greatest generals of all time and paved the way for the Roman Empire. He spread Greek culture throughout the known world and founded the great city of Alexandria in Egypt." ... I didn't know that and I'm a History major!

I know the movie tweaks things but no matter what the best friend dying is depressing.

Also, it jumps on what time it is. It gives little notes on the bottom like such and such AD/BC (whatever I can't remember.) I haven't seen it all in one sitting but I really need to. I loves me some Angelina Jolie.
