week 12

today in class we talked a whole lot about philip11 and alexander the great which apearently almost created his own empire because when philip was assasinated at a wedding, he decided to take power and not everyone agreed so he had them killed. then he decided to carry out the original plan to concure persia and he smashed and took over persia. after concuring persia he went to egypt and described how he was son of a god and won many battles, so they proclaimed him pharoh for a while. then he went to india and ran into a new great chalenge which was the war elephant. these had armor and could smash through enemy lines , but alexander found a way around them and concoured india to so when he started to creat a new empire in babalonian, he died.
