The 14 Days That Broke Alexander the Great’s Empire

June 323 BC, Babylon. Inside the sweltering walls of Nebuchadnezzar's palace, the undefeated Alexander the Great has just died, sparking a ruthless 14-day succession crisis that will permanently shatter the ancient world. This isn't just a royal death; it's the trigger for the most brutal, high-stakes "Game of Thrones" in ancient history. With no clear heir and a cryptic final whisper—leaving his vast kingdom "To the strongest"—Alexander's battle-hardened generals immediately turn on each other to claim the greatest empire in history. But here is where it gets truly wild: while the elite cavalry commanders secretly plotted to carve up the map, tens of thousands of armed foot soldiers mutinied, sparking an instant civil war right inside the palace walls. From puppet kings and assassinations to war elephants crushing unarmed veterans, this documentary reveals how an undefeated army tore itself apart in just two weeks. The resulting Wars of the Diadochi plunged the ancient world into forty years of chaos, and the bloody secrets of those fourteen days still echo through history today.
