    Hello from Spain. Being from Lebanon, how Alexandros/Alexander is remembered there? As a great warrior; or as a monster? I love history, and Alexander is part of it. I consider him the greatest warrior of all times, not as much becouse bloody seazures like Tyre but becouse he tryed a politic of reconciliation with Persia, instead of smashing them. Taking away theyr cukture and impossing Greek´s. He didn´t act like the romans, and centralized the power in Macedonia to rule every "provence" of Persia. Of course this is an interpretation, I guess he can be in the weast "Alexander the monster" like Brian Bosworth books paint him. I can only say that I wish there would have been an Alexander in the Spanish war against the fascist, Hitler, Mussolinim Morocco troops and more. I wonder what a genious mind like his, and his skills in war could have done in 1936.1939. Just curiosity for history. Greetings.

God doesn’t want people to go there, but his nature requires sin to be punished. However he’s also merciful and died on the cross for our sins. You don’t want to die without Christ.

    One gruesome detail of the siege was that the Tyrian defenders heated sand up until it was nearly red hot and then poured it down into the armor of the Macedonian soldiers who were trying to scale the walls! Can you imagine the horror of having red hot sand going down your back underneath your armor and you would be unable to do anything about it.

    I noticed that in prolonged sieges, besiegers punish their victims more harshly. In Constantinople for example, Fetih let his soldiers rape, murder and ransom the population for 3 days before he ordered to stop (some say he even cried, which is possible given his tender age of 21). The ones in Hagia Sofia temple were spared (just like the people in the temple in Tyre). This video confirms to me that it's a common theme in exhausting sieges.

    it was common practice to let your men to pillage, plunder and rape after a difficult siege. The times back then where a lot harsher and the mind-set a lot different, soldier usually were competing against each other to see who raped more women for example. That said, the reason they let them do all that was because it improved your army's morale while it destroyed the enemies' by spreading fear in other cities and soldier were more loyal to their generals

    That was a pretty common practice in sieges that the besiegers would rape, pillage and slaughter the inhabitants of a city if it doesn't open up its gates and surrender It helps boost the spirit and morale of your men especially after a long and bloody siege and assault plus it can stand as a reminder for other cities that they should rather surrender

    @@Euro.Patriot Yes, of course, because to say that the army of Tyre would have been defeated at sea and its stones thrown into the sea almost 200 years in advance is just a coincidence. Tyre consisted of two parts: a continental part, which was destroyed centuries earlier by the Babylonians; and an insular part, consisting of a fortress with high walls and towers. When it was first destroyed by the Babylonians, they did not attack the island part as well. This is the interesting thing, that later the fortress in the middle of the sea was also destroyed by the Greeks, as the prophecies indicated.
