The death of Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great was from Greece, and he is known all over the world for his great job of conquering almost the whole world that the Greeks knew at that time. Alexander the Great was born in 336 B.C. and he died in 323 B.C. During his short period of living on this earth, he was able to as I said conquer most of the world known for the Greeks. As you may know, he got the control of Greece when he was only 18 years old, and he led conquests around most of the continent of Asia. He was infact respected by everyone even the ones that he conquered, when he was in Egypt, he was made a pharaoh. In the year of 323 B.C. Alexander the Great died in the palace of Nebuchadrezzar II in Babylon, this is very important because when he was on his death bed, he either said that the person who would control the countries, and places that were under Alexander's control would be the strongest, or he said that it would be the stronger. Scholars are not sure because the two words are very similar, they were "Kratisto" which means "the strongest", or it was "Krat'eroi" which means "the stronger.

The map on the left shows where Babylon specifically is, as you can see, it is in Mesopotamia which is an area in modern day Iraq.
