There are far less contemporaneous sources for Alexander the Great than there are for Jesus of Nazareth. So perhaps Alexander didn’t really conquer all of that

There are far less contemporaneous sources for Alexander the Great than there are for Jesus of Nazareth. So perhaps Alexander didn’t really conquer all of that land, and he’s an amalgamation of Macedonian and Greek rulers who invented him to glorify and justify their gradual conquest of Egypt, Asia, and Persia. And everyone in these countries like Seleucids and Antagonids got together to agree on a founding myth.
Or, you know, the theory that doesn’t rely on a historical conspiracy.
- coliveira 4y ago> There are far less contemporaneous sources for Alexander the Great Totally untrue, there is archeological evidence for Alexander from day 1 of his conquests. Jesus has zero contemporaneous sources, everyone who wrote about him was living after his supposed death, and said what his followers were claiming at the time (hearsay).
