As Alexander the Great marched triumphantly into the Indian subcontinent, his ambition burned brighter than ever. He faced the fierce resistance of King Porus at the Battle of the Hydaspes River, where the Macedonian phalanx clashed with towering war elephants in a battle of unparalleled ferocity. Yet, victory was his, and Porus, impressed by Alexander’s magnanimity, became a loyal ally. But even as he stood on the edge of the known world, gazing at the Ganges with dreams of further conquest, his weary army refused to march onward. Reluctantly, Alexander turned for home, navigating treacherous deserts and turbulent rebellions on his way back to Babylon. There, the warrior who had reshaped the ancient world succumbed to fever, leaving behind a vast empire and an enduring legacy of unbridled ambition, relentless courage, and the tantalizing question of what might have been had he lived to dream another day.
And where is his body now? Join Keith in this exciting finale and all will be revealed.
