Alexander the Great vs. the Island Fortress: The Astonishing Siege of Tyre (332 BC)

#ancientwarfare #historydocumentary #militaryhistory n 332 BC, Alexander the Great stood on a beach staring at a city his army couldn't reach.

So Alexander did something no commander in history had attempted. He moved the coastline.
