🔥Why Alexander the Great destroyed Thebes🔥

[tyuzgbv]

There was never a time when Alexander the great was not young.

Alexander the based and Philip the Chad..

[mrtea]

City: revolts
Alexander: we don't do that here

[robertandrews]

They said he was a boy king sitting on his fathers throne but they certainly found out that wasn't the case

[darkman]

The Macedonians were not foreign as said in the video. They were Greeks.

[ThroneMattAEr]

Greek city states: rebelled against Alexander
Alexander: so you have chosen death?

[wankawanka]

At least they had a reason unlike what athens did to melos

[jeeyasohi]

Imagine underestimating your king for him to conquer the whole Persian Empire just years later.

[kimoshoheeb]

Alexander was innocent didn't hold hate to anyone,
He wanted to save people from the darkness and meaningless life .
To build a deeper and logical vision that enlights their children Future.
To feel Alive, to be able to have their own vision and to Focus on what that can make a big difference for ages.
And see the Light.
And think immortal.
Not to live in fear and ignorance.
He sacrifice all his Life to hand over his experiences on a Golden Plate to everyone.
He Did not specialize or charactrised his Nobel vision to a specific group of people but he wished that everyone can get the chance to get their eyes open.
And let their spirit choose it's own destiny. 💜✌🏻🕊️☝🏻

I love informative-on-the-go short video like this!

[larsrons]

Oh, at first I thought you meant "Thebes" the old capital of Egypt and thought "perhaps he wanted a new capital in the province? Alexandria?

[imapleb]

Nobody going to mention the Athenian riding a ram?

[swan]

Macedonians are Greeks as well, as Peloponnesian, as Athenians, as kretans...

[cradiun]

Were Macedonians seen as foreigners/barbarians by the Greeks. Or were they seen as another Greek city state ? I'll appreciate your response.

[GT-xwqy]

Also missed the part where he needed the money to keep the army together. In order to appease the nobles of Macedon he abolished taxation.

[Sup_ERS_Tar]

I'd appreciate it if you could tell me if the Greeks thought of Macedonians as foreigners or barbarians, or if they were just another Greek city state.

[Spartakus--]

The Macedonians are Greeks. The city of Thebes was not Greek, but a colony from Phoenicia in the Middle East

[johnergis]

Greece wasnt united back then, they were all different civillizations, with the most known ones being athens, sparta, thebes and macedonia.But, they all had simillarities in their relligions and their way of life

[Inderastein]

Remember, the journey from Thebes to Macedonia or aka Modern Day North Borders of Greece is estimated for them to march for a long time for 3 months
Which today we can just use a motorcycle and drive there for 12 hours

But just to think that they expected him to come after 5 months, or even thought he was dead* since he was heading to the border when thebes were revolting, Alexander came in just 14 FRICKING DAYS, and remember, they all had the audacity to tell Alexander to get lost when he came, as we all know in the end the Thebians were tortured to death for those who fought, and the innocents(especially the ones who told him to get lost) were sent as slaves never to come back and settled as it all became only sand and broken pillars, and up until now Thebes is still just that, which shows you the damage that was done during the Ancient times before Rome to now.

That's one way to make a statement.
