Did Alexander "the Great" really exist? The biography of Alexander seems to come out of a self-serving myth. He is supposedly the son of a great king, and was the pupil of Aristotle, and took over the known ancient world. But here is the problem - there is no writings of Aristotle which show him knowing Alexander. Secondly, where are the civilizations from Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Persia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India which show they were birthed by Alexander's conquests? It seems to me that Alexander may have existed, but his biography is a bunch of mythological garbage. Coins and statues found bearing Alexander's name come after the fact and are in tribute to him. But there are no Persian or Vedic (Indian) records showing a Macedonian army conquering the known ancient world. So did he really exist ? answers.yahoo.com
