I am Alexander the great in poor , unstoppable..
"As the crow flew 2,300 years ago". Crows couldn't fly before about 900AD. That why all ancient and medieval depictions of crows show them standing, possibly walking, NEVER flying.
Also the fossilised remains for crows are very much grounded. Not one of them as ever been spotted or found flying.
Also, humans couldn't see the colour blue during the Bronze Age and early Iron Age. That's why Homer described the sea as 'The wine dark sea'.
The sea looked red BUT often wine looked blue – which is why the Germans chose the name BLUE NUN for one their finest wines (£3.99 for a 2lt box).

The dating is correct as far as we know. The Siege of Troy was around 1183 BC. Talaus/Talaon, son of Bias, was one of the Argonauts. He fathered Adrastos who fathered Deipyle who mothered Diomedes who went to Troy. So if you add 20y from Talaus to Adrastos, 20y from Adrastos to Deipyle, 20 years from Deipyle to Diomedes and 20 years from Diomedes to the age required he needs to be an adult, you get 80 years then you add it to the 1183, and then you get 1263 BC.

I thought I had seen most everything from David Adams, then I find this gem! Some of his absolute best work. Fantastic. I have seen hundreds of archeology/history documentaries…and this series is a real winner. Anyone else interested in Alexander the great, I would highly recommend "In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great" by Michael Wood, Its a similar long format documentary adventure tracing the life of Alexander.
Apparently, the Taliban are on the rise 🥺

Im just grateful that I live in a world of technology that lets me explore these documentaries that are so well made. In my day I had to go to the library to find out books that were so out of date
Your dates are wrong, but you could not do an honest documentary if you want to keep your funding. If the King was able to ride that buried horse, He must have been a dwarf.

Just silly. Constantly adjusting or ignoring evidence to fit an arbitrarily created narrative.
Beautiful landscape photos – thank you! A bit long-winded… and when the madman climbs around the hole without any safety equipment – I switch off.
Anyone watching in 2025?
I love this series
Complete bull sh
Old video but fascinating. Haunting imagery, music, and the thought that ancient seas and waterways existed thousands of years ago is in itself haunting.
Still here in 2025 😎
