The new Kings and Generals animated ancient historical documentary series covering the conquests of Alexander III the Great of Macedon continues with the aftermath of the siege of Tyre of 332 BC (https://youtu.be/98inDANKtEs), the battle of Gaza and the conquest of Egypt (https://youtu.be/yLlEVBGydKo) as well as the decisive battle of Gaugamela against Darius III in 331 BC (https://youtu.be/xwunu9gJyas). Afterwards, Alexander's Asian campaign continued, as after defeating the remnants of the Acahemenid Empire at the battle of the Persian Gate and the Uxian Defile and the Persian Gates (https://youtu.be/jkm4erY7l-0), Alexander marched into Central Asia, taking on the Saka at the battle of Jaxartes in 329 BC (https://youtu.be/x9qgM6zxzSY). Alexander's next target was the Sogdian Rock, where Spitamenes raised a rebellion against him. We will also talk about the assassination of Cleitus. We are planning to cover all campaigns of Alexander and all of his major battles, including Gaugamela, Tyre, Issus, Granicus, Halicarnassus, Gaza, Hydaspes and more.
