Bucephalus and Alexander were inseparable; only Alexander could ride him, and indeed he did, into every battle from the conquest of the Greek city-states and Thebes through the Battle of Gaugamela and into India.
Although historians disagree on the cause of the horse's death - some claim he died from battle wounds - most agree he died of old age after the Battle of Hydaspes River (326 BCE… battle illustrated above).
Alexander founded a city in his beloved horse's memory and named it Bucephala. It is also interesting that Alexander built another city after his favorite dog Peritas.

The St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (Bulgarian: Храм-паметник "Свети Александър Невски", Hram-pametnik "Sveti Aleksandar Nevski") is a Bulgarian Orthodox cathedral in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Built in Neo-Byzantine style, it serves as the cathedral church of the Patriarch of Bulgaria and it is believed to be one of the 50 largest Christian church buildings by volume in the world. It is one of Sofia's symbols and primary tourist attractions.[3] The St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Sofia occupies an area of 3,170 square metres (34,100 sq ft) and can hold 5,000 people inside.[3][1] It is believed to be among the 10 largest Eastern Orthodox church buildings. It is the third largest Orthodox Cathedral located in Southeast Europe, being surpassed only by two new and not yet fully completed Cathedrals - the Romanian People's Salvation Cathedral in Bucharest, and the Church of Saint Sava in Belgrade.[4] It is believed that until year 2000 it was the largest finished Orthodox Cathedral.
The construction of the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral started in 1882 (having been planned since 19 February 1879), when the foundation stone was laid, but most of it was built between 1904 and 1912.[3] Saint Alexander Nevsky was a Russian prince. The cathedral was created in honour to the Russian soldiers who died during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878, as a result of which Bulgaria was liberated from Ottoman rule.
The cathedral was designed by Alexander Pomerantsev, aided by Alexander Smirnov and Alexander Yakovlev, as the initial 1884-1885 project of Ivan Bogomolov was radically changed by Pomerantsev. The final design was finished in 1898, and the construction and decoration were done by a team of Bulgarian, Russian, Austro-Hungarian and other European artists, architects and workers, including the aforementioned architects, as well as Petko Momchilov, Yordan Milanov, Haralampi Tachev, Ivan Mrkvička, Vasily Bolotnov, Nikolay Bruni, Alexander Kiselyov, Anton Mitov and many others.

Marble sculpture of the head of Alexander the Great (probably around 300 BC; Archaeological Museum of Pella). In 343 BC, Aristoteles became the tutor of Alexander who was then 12 or 13 years old. His education took place for a couple of years in the school the philosopher had established next to the Nymphaeon of Mieza, a religious sanctuary close to today's town of Naoussa, Macedonia. The subjects were wide: rhetoric, ethics, politics, natural history, medicine and Homer's Iliad. Plutarch, the historian, tells us that Alexander later became increasingly critical of his tutor's social teachings, in particular, his advice to treat Greeks as friends and Non-Greeks as slaves. Instead, Alexander favoured a policy of intercultural rapprochement. Leica M8, Voigtlaender 35/1.4.

Alexander the Great and his mother Olympias were very fond of each other, but they were also two very violent people who literally walked over dead bodies.
Both did not shy away from having personal rivals and competitors killed by the dozen.
"The destruction of Thebes [by Alexander] left a very deep and lasting impression on Greece. It was perceived not only by contemporaries but for centuries (even in the Roman imperial period) as an outrageous cruelty that Alexander was blamed for and cited as a historical example of a horrific catastrophe."
While Alexander had been leading the Balkan campaign to secure his power in 335 BC after taking power, "the Greeks in the south decided that this was the time to free themselves from Macedonia. Their spokesman was Demosthenes, who tried to convince the Greeks that Alexander had fallen in Illyria and that Macedonia was rulerless. The inhabitants of Thebes were the first to rise up and drive the Macedonian occupying soldiers out of the city.
Alexander reacted immediately and marched southwards to Thebes directly from his Illyrian campaign. The phalanx of his general Perdiccas captured the city, where Alexander had all the buildings destroyed as punishment, with the exception of the temples and the home of the poet Pindar. Six thousand inhabitants were killed, the remaining 30,000 were sold into slavery. The city of Thebes no longer existed and was to be rebuilt only twenty years later, but never regained its former importance.
[...]
The ancient orators in particular were keen to speak [of these atrocities] and used this opportunity to arouse strong emotions in their audiences. It was said that Alexander acted like a wild animal and as an inhuman (apánthrōpos). This tradition of interpretation was still being received in Byzantine times." Later it was obviously lost.

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral of Tallinn is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral in central Tallinn, Estonia. It was built in 1894–1900, when the country was part of the former Russian Empire. The cathedral is the city's largest cupola church. The late Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow (1929–2008) started his priestly ministry in the cathedral.
The base of the building is Finnish granite. In the five onion domes, gilded iron crosses are seen. Inside are three gilded, carved wooden iconostases, along with four icon boxes. The icons of the iconostasis and icon boxes were painted in Saint Petersburg on copper and zinc plates. The windows are decorated with stained glass.

C'è di nuovo il circo con animali a Spoleto.
E' anacronistico e molto avvilente, che tuttora nei circhi si usino animali. Finchè sarà lecito sfruttare per divertimento esseri senzienti molti simili a noi, come possiamo aspettarci che lo stesso trattamento non venga riservato anche agli esseri umani?
Alexander era una giraffa, scappata dal circo, è stata sedata ma non è sopravvissuta. Si aggiunge a molti altri casi di animali scappati dal circo la cui fuga in un modo o nell'altro finisce con la morte.
It is anachronistic and very disheartening that animals are still used in circuses. As long as it is permissible to exploit sentient beings who are very similar to us for entertainment, how can we expect the same treatment not to be reserved for human beings too?
Alexander was a giraffe, who escaped from the circus, he was sedated but did not survive. It joins many other cases of animals who have escaped from the circus and whose escape in one way or another ends in death.
This moc is part of the "Algus Saga" of Mitgardia in Eurobricks/ Guilds of historica
Mitgardian leaders decided (after Sir Gunman's suggestion) to visit Euosmos City in order to watch the preparations of the army there which is to be sent to the frontline together with supplies needed for the castle of Rekkrfell
Meanwhile in Euosmos
The news regarding the Mitgardian's leadership visit to Euosmos came fast to the city. Together with them, many other known Mitgardian citizens were going to visit the city in order to help with the preparations being made there.
Alexander fortress, the Elite Mitgardian archery fortress had been already being decorated from their happy citizens in order to welcome their precious visitors. Every citizen was trying his best in order to thank their visitors.
From the time Mitgardian soldiers saw the Mitgardian leadership visiting them, their will to fight and protect the Mitgardian North borders at any cost became stronger.
Bagpipes were playing around, people were drinking, eating and celebrating the visit and for a moment everyone forgot the threat from the North.

Russia. Moscow Kremlin.
The Moscow Kremlin usually referred to as simply the Kremlin, is a historic fortified complex at the heart of Moscow, overlooking the Moskva River to the south, Saint Basil's Cathedral and Red Square to the east, and the Alexander Garden to the west. It is the best known of kremlins (Russian citadels) and includes five palaces, four cathedrals, and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers. The complex serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation. Build from 1482-1495 years.
Россия. Московский Кремль.
Московский Кремль — кремль, древнейшая часть Москвы, главный общественно-политический и историко-художественный комплекс города, официальная резиденция президента Российской Федерации. Строился с 1482-1495 годы.
Als Zarewitsch und Zar besuchte Alexander II von Rußland, ein Neffe von Kaiser Wilhelm I, zwischen 1836 und 1876 immer wieder Bad Ems.
As both Tsarevich and Tsar, Alexander II of Russia—a nephew of Emperor Wilhelm I—visited Bad Ems repeatedly between 1836 and 1876.
Alexander had always been fascinated by the concept of time travel. He spent years tinkering in his workshop, trying to create a machine that could transport him through time. Finally, after many failed attempts, he managed to build one that could move him backwards in time by five minutes.
With excitement and a great deal of trepidation, Alexander climbed into the machine and set the dials. After a five minute launch procedure, the machine hummed to life. Alexander felt a strange sensation wash over him. Suddenly, he was back in time, standing just a few feet away from himself.
Alexander's clone looked just as surprised as he did, and the two men started arguing about who should test the machine first. Neither of them wanted to miss out on the chance to experience time travel, so they decided to go back in time together.
As they emerged from the time machine, they were very surprised to meet the two Alexanders arguing over who should test the machine first. The four of them stared at each other in disbelief, but quickly realized that they were all versions of the same person.
Upon this realisation, their eyes all lit up and all four climbed through the portal.
"Soon our army will rule the world!" they cackled in unison....

Loyd Alexander TS (1955-1961) dient heute als Werbeträger für ein Museum in Bernkastel-Kues. In solch einem Auto haben wir früher (vor über 60Jahren) unsere Familienausflüge unternommen.
Keine Gurte, keine Kopfstützen.
Das war noch ein echtes Abenteuer. Mit 40cm langen Lutschern im Mund (aus den Niederlanden) wurde auch schon mal der Rachenraum ramponiert.
Loyd Alexander TS (1955-1961) serves today as an advertising medium for a museum in Bernkastel-Kues. We used to drive a car like this on our family trips over 60 years ago. No belts, no headrests. That would be a real adventure. With 40cm long lollipops in the mouth (from the Netherlands), the pharynx was often damaged.
