I saw the history that talks about ALEXANDER THE GREAT.and I was so excited and amazed… ALEXANDER was a prominent ancient military leader and king of
Macedonia
, born in 356 BCE as the son of King Philip II and Olympias. Educated by the philosopher Aristotle, Alexander was groomed for leadership and military campaigns, distinguishing himself in his early military career…

What amazes me the most about him was his 3 wishes he mad before he died, What did Alexander the Great say before he died?

The historical record offers two different versions of Alexander the Great’s final words: the famous reply “To the strongest” and the symbolic story of his three deathbed wishes.

To the Strongest” (Historical Tradition)
The Question: According to ancient historians like Arrian, his generals asked him on his deathbed in June 323 BCE to whom he left his vast empire.
The Reply: Alexander reportedly answered “tōi kratistōi,” meaning “To the strongest.”
The Result: This unclear answer led to decades of wars among his generals to take control of the territory.

The Three Deathbed Wishes (FOLK LEGEND)

1.DOCTORS AS PALLBEARERS: He asked physicians to carry his coffin to show that no doctor can stop death.

2.SCATTERED TREASURE: He wanted his gold and wealth thrown on the road to his grave to prove riches stay behind.

3.HANDS OUTSIDE THE CONFFIN: He wanted his hands left hanging in the open air to show that people enter and leave the world with empty hands.

Moral:No matter what you have,or no matter how wealthy you are.at the end of the day,everything will be left behind…be humble
