[edit] Biography
As a young man, he had been tutored by Aristotle before inheriting the crown and a unified Greece from his father. He set out to conquer the Persian Empire, and spread Greek culture across the Middle East, all the way to India. Before his death at age 32, he conquered most of the world known to the ancient Greeks including Chanri-Ha where he became immortalized as the Great God Zander, influencing the shape of the city's religion with their deity Zan-Khan.
While conquering portions of the eastern Mediterranean world, Egypt and the Middle East, he also ordered the building of many cities, including several that were named in his honor, Alexandria in Egypt, and Alexandretta in Asia Minor.
After his death, his empire was divided into four major portions, ruled by his generals.
The valuable Ivory Iskander artifact was crafted in Alexander's image.
