Alexander the Great was a great conqueror. He united the greek city states and took over the Egyptians. Then he moved on and took over the large Persian empire.

They exhibited bravery even while surrounded by explosions and gunfire. Often seen as “the Civil War’s most famous horse”, Traveller’s success was predicted before he was even born.…

Daniel’s supposedly flawed historical record is one of the main reasons critics reject its traditional date (Longman 375). The numerous historical errors contained within the work are thought to be impossible for any respectable sixth-century B.C. author (Harrison 1112). One alleged problem is the dating of Nebuchadnezzar’s siege of Jerusalem in B.C. 605 (Walton 526). Critics assert that Jeremiah’s record of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign and Daniel’s are contradictory (Dan. 1:1; Jer. 46:2; Archer, A…

Alexander of Macedon: A Great Leader Being the first person to conquer the Egyptian, Greek, and Persian empires in just over a decade was no walk in the park, and neither was integrating a culture into all of those empires nor attempting to unite them all. Alexander of Macedon was this man: he conquered the greatest empires, spread the Greek influence, and lead in a unique way with his inspiring character that he is famous for. Although he was not the ideal leader such as Plato’s idea of a…

Alexander the Great Alexander the Great was a man raised in Macedonia Greece in 365 BC and was the son of King Phillip and Olympia. He is easily one of the most famous historians out there but yet nobody knows if his stories are true or fake.
