Day 18: Alexander the Great 2

Here are more notes about Alexander the great:

Augustus lay a crown on his coffin, and laid flowers around it. Alexander was laid to rest in a building that was not meant for him. The sarcophagus was moved to London once napoleon found it. People say the actual body is not there, so they are still trying to find it. Alexander's legacy still lives;
his battle tactics are still used today at military universities. For ages, people fought following Alexander's battle strategies. Alexander had a special connection with his soldiers, which made them extra strong in the battle field. Alexander wanted to fight the Persians, and Kanibal followed Alexander's path. Napoleon was fascinated by Alexander's tales, and also admired his religious acceptance. Napoleon was crowned emperor of France, using his inspiration for Alexander.
