Alexander The Great The 16-Foot Spear That Conquered 2 Million Square Miles

Alexander the Great conquered two million square miles in ten years without losing a single battle. This documentary follows how the 20-year-old king used Philip II's 16-foot sarissa phalanx and companion cavalry to erase Thebes, defeat Darius III at Granicus and Issus, build a kilometer-long causeway to take Tyre, and found 70 cities from Egypt to Afghanistan. It weighs the tempo and building that made the empire against its cost in massacres, enslavements and a vanished tomb that has never been found.
