What was the cause of death of Alexander the Great? On the political relationship between Octavian and Cleopatra from a historical perspective.

Poisoning theory

At that time (Plutarch said), no one doubted that he was poisoned, but one said that some news appeared five years later, so his mother Olympias executed many people and ordered someone to scatter the ashes of Antipat's son Iola into the wind, because it was inferred that he had poisoned him. Some historians have pointed out that Aristotle gave Antipat a plan to assassinate the king, and he provided the poison entirely.

It is not surprising that rumors spread everywhere after the death of the king who ruled most of the known world. The statement that the poisoner was Io Ras soon spread all over Athens, and the speaker Demosthenes suggested that everyone vote for Io Ras. Some stories that have been handed down to this day, but lack of evidence, may support the statement that Alexander and Festian did not die of natural causes. There is a story about a Macedonian officer who witnessed what happened in Hamadan and Babylon. When Alexander came back from India, he was afraid that he would be the next target of cleaning, so he went to consult a fortune teller. what should he do ？ The fortune teller told him not to worry; Festian and Alexander will die soon.

A few days later, Festian really died, and Alexander died within a year. Both of them died of unexplained high fever after drinking pure wine. A doctor put forward his own opinion from the perspective of pharmacology, and thought that chronic brucine poisoning was the most likely explanation. Coincidentally or not, the botanist Sid Obras is a disciple and friend of Aristotle. He once mentioned the use and dosage of this substance, and said that "the best way to cover up its bitterness is to use it in pure wine". )

Later, some people said that Aristotle did it himself, because he found himself helping to create a disaster, but Plutarch only wanted to say, "At first, Alexander spoke highly of Aristotle and loved him more than his father ... but in recent years, he gradually became suspicious of him. He has never actually hurt him, but his friendship has lost its original enthusiasm and love. It is obvious that the two have gradually drifted away. " Like many stories about Alexander, we will never know the truth.

The symptoms of alcoholism and liver failure caused by poisoning are of course similar. Up to now, most scholars deny the theory of poisoning, but some people do not rule out that Alexander and Herr Festian were poisoned. It is not impossible for a group of disillusioned and angry senior officers to plot to poison Alexander. Many of his former friends and cronies are now frightened by what they saw with their own eyes, the extravagant style of Orientalism, the rage of killing people at will, and perhaps worst of all, they call themselves gods. They think he has become a tyrant, arbitrary and moody. Aristotle, Alexander's teacher, said himself, "No one can stand such a rule freely."

Laser irradiation theory

The death of Alexander the Great attracted the attention of the whole world. Many people collect information, investigate and analyze, and think that his real cause of death is: long-term exposure to laser.

More than two thousand years ago, who mastered the laser technology, can it be used to kill people? It's incredible.

It turned out that after Alexander occupied a city in Persia, the nobles in the city contributed a crown to him. The crown is inlaid with a huge ruby with purple light. Alexander wore it to show off his majesty and strength everywhere.

Scientists have found that rubies emit a special natural laser in the sun. Because Alexander wore this ruby-inlaid gold crown for a long time, he became a victim of natural laser.
