Alexander The Great Is Still Affecting Your World - May 30, 2017

We all have heard of him but what did he really do? How could he be affecting our world today? What did he have to do with modern day beliefs and habits? How do many of the life styles we have today go way back to Alex? He was truly great. Here is a young man from Macedonia who decided to the change the world on horseback. No small feat!
