OF OUR INFORMATION ABOUT ALEXANDER'S CAMPAIGNS, SUCCESSES & POLICIES DERIVES FROM LATER HISTORIANS, WHOSE ACCOUNTS ARE OFTEN HIGHLY IDEALISED & BREATHLESS WITH ENTHUSIASM IN THE COVERAGE OF THE YOUNG GENERAL'S EXPLOITS. [Iets dergelijks met de geschiedenis van racisme, slavernij, religieus sektarisme, criminaliteit & politiek fascisme/anarchisme
die tegenwoordig vooral vervangen lijken te worden door extreme verafgoding van advertenties, propaganda, reclame & modieuze shit?
Nu niet meer zozeer huidskleur & uitbuiting, (s)exclusiviteit en onderwerelden, fanatisme en oppervlakkigheid, maar brainwash/hersen-spoelingen, commerciële massaculturen en wereldwijde economistische chaos!] Nevertheless, even if we need to be cautious about the way the collapse of Persia is covered in the sources, the speed with which Alexander kept extending the frontiers further east tells its own story. He was an energetic founder of New Cities, usually named after himself, that are now more often known by other names, such as HERAT (Alexandria in Aria, KANDAHAR (Alexandria in Arachosia) en BAGRAM (Alexandria ad Caucasum)! The construction of these staging posts - and the reinforcement of others further north, stretching to the Fergana valley - were new points running along
the spine of Asia. [In 'onze tijd' waren dat vooral Rome, Níeuw Amsterdam/New York, London, Parijs, Berlijn, Moscow, Peking e.d.: we spreken nog steeds van 'brood & spelen', 'hoofdsteden', megalomaan kapitalisme, modieuze fratsen, Stalinisme/Maoïsme & EU/UNO?!] NEW CITIES WITH POWERFUL DEFENCES, AS WELL AS STANDALONE STRONGHOLDS AND FORTS, WERE PRIMARELY BUILT TO DEFEND AGAINST THE THREAT POSED BY TRIBES OF THE STEPPES WHO WERE VERY ADEPT AT LAUNCHING DEVASTATING ATTACKS ON RURAL COMMUNITIES! Alexander's programme of fortification was designed to protect new areas that had only recently been conquered. Thus similar concerns met with similar responses further east at precisely this time?!! The Chinese had already developed a concept of HUAXIA, representing the civilized world, set against the challenges of the peoples from the steppes. An intensive buildingprogamme EXPANDED A NETWORK OF FORTIFICATIONS INTO WHAT BECAME KNOWN AS "THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA", and were driven by the same principle as that adopted by Alexander: EXPANSIONS WITHOUT DEFENCE WERE USELESS. Kortom, geschiedenis herhaalt zichzèlf dwars dóór àlle millennia via onze ijs- en steentijdperken in nieuwe metalen, flexibele religieuze en opportunistische politieke verhalen, zich ontwikkelende industrie & verwante experimentele wereldwijde dominanties. 't Nieuws v/d dag in myDinotendopjes voor iedereen.
