How did Alexander transport the horses for his chariots?
He must across the sea!!!
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scholars!I'm watching
"In the Footsteps of Alexander"!
GIVE ME A HAND!!!!
From Greek to Tory need giant vessel for those horses,if they sea-sick!
Sounds very impossible!!!
Well, the Romans did sail their cavalry across open waters, and later did the Vikings and Normans?
Hannibal equally achieved the 'impossible' with his own equine and elephantine cavalry- over the Alps?
So it's concievable that a genius such as Alexander would also have done so?
They had, like, you know, these funny floaty thingys called ships . . .
This was 'only' 2000 years ago - sea travel, and transporting big armies, etc, was a well established practice by then. Xerxes moved a much bigger army in the opposite direction 150 years or so earlier. He even built a 'bridge of boats' across the Hellespont to carry his lads over dryshod!
Mystery!!
Definitely!!
Just as we cannot absolutely know how the Egypt build the pyramid!!!
God want him win!
