Babylon, Iraq

Alexander the Great's reign came to a halt when he died in Babylon in 323 B.C.E.

It seems that Alexander the Great was a healthy 33 year old man, so how could he have died of natural causes when he was fine one day, and not the next? Many historians have come up with theories of how his demise came about, but one hypothesis is this : Once Alexander arrived in Babylon, many bad omens happened, like crows fighting, then dropping dead right in front of him. Although these all said that he was going to fall from his throne, he was not deterred. He attended many parties while in Babylon, and drank far too much which leads to the belief of a conspiracy of some of his close friends who were secretly unhappy with him, poisoned him. He became very sick, and kept getting worse with no improvement in his condition in his future. On either May 20th or 30th 323 B.C.E., Alexander the Great took his last breath after a tormenting 15 days.
