Alexander ‘s last 3 wishes!!!
More than 300 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. The world saw a great king. He is Alexander the Great, King of Macedon in Ancient Greece. He was born in 356 BC. Alexander III succeeded his father Philip II when he was only 20 years old. A student of the Greek philosopher Aristotle, Alexander was called the ‘king of half the world’. Because he conquered almost half the world after conquering the small Greek kingdom of Macedon.
Despite his young age, it was not difficult for him to handle the throne. For, he received training in the body from a qualified instructor like Leonidas and at the age of 13 received lessons from the great Greek philosopher Aristotle. It was mainly because of this good education that Alexander was able to display great physical strength and talent.
As a boy, Alexander’s father, Philip, said, ‘Macedon is too small for you. One day you will conquer the whole world. Alexander proved his father’s words to be true. During most of his reign, he conducted military campaigns across Northeast Africa and West Asia. By the age of 30, he established one of the largest empires in history, stretching from Egypt to North West India. Just looking at the map of that period, one can guess how great a hero Alexander was. He conquered most of the world during his short reign. Even though he died thousands of years ago, this hero’s tomb still raises mysteries and new questions in people’s minds.
Conquer half the world in 30 years:
Alexander was very handsome. He was distinguished from all other kings by the mixture of form and strength with strong appearance. Alexander had Vikram like a lion. He always wore a lion skin on his head. In just 30 years, Alexander became the ruler of a vast empire from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River. Various exciting stories are constantly being created about him. He is a descendant of Zeus, the god of encounters. Alexander himself began to think so. At that time, the temple of the Greek goddess Artemis was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It burned down on Alexander’s birthday. Artemis herself is said to have come to witness Alexander’s birth.
The life of Emperor Alexander is full of such legends. Alexander’s world campaign then continued. Meanwhile, he crossed the Dardanelles Strait in hopes of conquering the Persian Empire. This strait connects the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea (i.e. an extension of the Mediterranean Sea east of Greece). Alexander fought three major battles and killed the Persian leader Darius III in 330 BC. Alexander defeated the Persians in 331 BC. He then proceeded further east. North West of India. Anyone who refused to submit to Alexander’s authority was defeated by Alexander. Alexander was eager to continue the campaign. But the army failed. Alexander was forced to stop the eastward campaign in the face of a huge army.
Astrologer Predictions:
May 323 BC. The age of this hero who shook the whole world was 33. After ascending the throne, Chena spent more than a century conquering much of the known world. Alexander’s dream was to expand his vast empire far and wide. But his dream never materialized. Alexander returned to Baghdad after a few years of military operations in the face of army resistance. On this occasion he went to rest. At the same time, he started drawing the table of his next campaign.
On June 29, he attended a banquet at the invitation of a close friend. During the day-long event, Alexander drank a lot of alcohol. At one point he felt uncomfortable. “He doesn’t feel well”, said Alexander and went to sleep. At one time a high fever arose with shivering. His health deteriorated rapidly. He became so weak that he could not get out of bed. This world conquering hero died 10 days later. However, there are many controversies about Alexander’s death. When he came to conquer India, an astrologer predicted that Babylon would be Alexander’s final destination. Even though there was no pre-planned departure from India to Babylon, destiny took him there. The exact cause of Alexander’s death is still unknown, although this is generally said to be the case.
On Alexander deathbed he called the generals and said about his Last three wishes:
On his deathbed, Alexander called his generals and said, ‘After my death, you will fulfill last three wishes. Do not disturb it.
The Alexander Last three wishes
First wish, only doctors will carry Alexander coffin.
The second wish is to spread the gold, silver and other precious stones stored in the treasury along the path along which Alexander coffin will be taken to the burial ground.
Last wish, I have to hang Alexander two hands outside the coffin while carrying the coffin.
People present at his death bed were surprised by this strange intention of Mahavir Alexander. But no one had the courage to ask him anything about it. Then one of Alexander’s favorite generals raised his hand and kissed it, saying, ‘O majesty, surely all your intentions will be fulfilled; But why did you express this strange intention?’
Taking a long breath, Alexander said, reason behind his last Three wishes. He said’I want to leave three teachings before the world.
I asked my doctors to carry coffins so that people would realize that doctors can’t really heal a person. They are powerless and unable to save anyone from the clutches of death.
I have asked to scatter gold grains on the way to the graveyard to make people understand that not a single grain of gold will go with me. I have spent my whole life trying to get them, but I can’t take anything with me.
Let people understand that running after wealth is just a waste of time. I have asked people to spread my hands outside the coffin to let people know that I came into this world empty-handed and am leaving this world empty-handed.’
