Sedikit catatan lagi dari buku Silk Road.
Alexander the Great conquered Persian through a battle at Gaugamela (today Erbil). Persian armies were led by Darius III. The battle was in 331 BC.
Darius III murdered by his own lieutenant. His body was dumped in a wagon.
Alexander was at one time tutored by Aristotle.
Many cities or towns named Alexander. Among them:
- Herat (Alexandria in Aria); Kandahar (Alexander in Arachosia); Bagram (Alexander in Caucasum).
Herat's citadel, known as the Qala Ikhtyaruddin or the 'Citadel of Alexander', was founded in 330 BC, although it has been destroyed and rebuilt many times since then
