As Alexander the Great marched into the scorched lands of India, his ambition had become something more than hunger, it was obsession. At the banks of the Hydaspes, he faced King Porus and a wall of war elephants, beasts bred for terror and destruction. The battle was brutal, primal—thunder, blood, and chaos. But Alexander won. He always won.

Porus, broken but unbent, became his ally. Yet even as Alexander looked east, dreaming of the Ganges and empires beyond, his men—worn, blood-soaked, and hollowed by years of conquest, refused to go any farther. The god-king had reached the edge of the world… and found it would not follow him.

His return was no triumph—it was a descent. Across burning deserts and through festering rebellion, he limped back to Babylon, only to die not in battle, but in fevered stillness, surrounded by silence, poison, or prophecy. No one knows for certain.

He left behind a shattered empire, a world rearranged, and one final mystery: Where is Alexander’s body?

Join Keith for the chilling finale of a man who conquered the known world… and vanished from it.
