    Babylon was east of Karbala on the old course of the Euphrates. Alexander's successor Seleucus moved his capital north east onto the Tigris near modern day Mada'in. After the Abbasids overran the Umayyads they wanted a capital further east than Damascus that was closer to their power base, so they built a new planned city (Bagdad) just north of Mada'in.

      @@dred0 yes maybe. But that's for the sole purpose of producing offspring. If you watch more and more documentaries and do some research he was presumed gay with his right hand man. I'm not sure when or where but I remember at some point they crossed the ocean and Alexander built a monument that was supposed to be for your wife but he built it in the name of his right hand man. There is no proof for anything but the evidence presuming he is gay is vast. I'm not good at explaining so look into it. You'll find what you seek.

    Bro I'm ngl this sucked my brudda you started in mesopotamia than Greece which would've been alot better... also you didn't even create your own empire which would've been more unique instead of just stealing byzantium. Honestly I watched this video when I first started ck3 and now watching it made me realise how bad you are my days

    It was a pretty decent video but it's also disrespectful to call Alexander from Babylon and not from Macedonia. I hope you realize that
