The Hunt For A Lost Bronze-Age Metropolis Claimed By The Desert | Alexander's Lost World | Odyssey

It is said that Alexander the Great founded around 16 cities in central Asia, however this is now thought to be false. Many of these cities likely already existed and were merely built upon by the great conqueror. David Adams is in search of several such cities to see what remains of these Ancient Metropolises in Afghanistan's dangerous frontiers.

    Years ago when I worked in Iran I took the ole magic bus to Herat,Afghanistan. There was a place called the Citadel on a hilltop and was said to be busy over a Temple Complex built by Alexander. Has anyone ever managed to explore this? At the time I got curious but almost shot because it was a base for the Afghan Army.

    I wonder what their reactions would have been if you proved to them that they are wearing today the same “kausia” that the Macedonian-Thracian-Greek army have brought it over to them (before Alexander’s intromission, the Soghdians and Baktrians used to wear the Phrygian cap).
