The new Kings and Generals animated ancient historical documentary series covering the conquests of Alexander III the Great of Macedon continues with the aftermath of the siege of Tyre of 332 BC (), the battle of Gaza and the conquest of Egypt () as well as the decisive battle of Gaugamela against Darius III in 331 BC (). Afterwards, Alexander's Asian campaign continued, as after defeating the remnants of the Acahemenid Empire at the battle of the Persian Gate and the Uxian Defile and the Persian Gates (), Alexander marched into Central Asia, taking on the Saka at the battle of Jaxartes in 329 BC (). Alexander's next target was the Sogdian Rock, where Spitamenes raised a rebellion against him and we also talk talked about the assassination of Cleitus (). Then we discussed Alexander's campaign in Afghanistan, called Cophen (Kabul) campaign by the ancients and another assassination attempt, this time by the royal pages led by Hermolaus (). With the Cophen Valley secured, Alexander left Taxiles and pressed deeper into the subcontinent, making for the Hyphasis River. To do so, however, Alexander would have to pass through the territories of numerous Indian kings, having to either defeat or subjugate them in order to protect his rear. This portion of Alexander’s campaign from, Taxila to the Hyphasis, would prove to be some of the most difficult of Alexander’s career and the battle of Hydaspes against the Indian king Porus would occur during it (). Alexander's last campaign would be against the Mallians in modern Punjab (). In the aftermath, Alexander returned to Babylon where he would spend his last year, making plans and enacting reforms.
