What if he didn't die and pushed on in India. Im sure his scouts knew about China. What if he actually decided to try to conquer China and then South America. Wouldve been an epic story

Exactly how do you suppose he'd get from China to South America?

And another thing. His army refused to follow him into India. That's why he went back to Babylon where he died. How's he supposed to conquer China when his army wouldn't even go through India?

where did the white people come from in China... Huge ancient skeletons have been found in recent years. If not Alexander the Great, its Bill Laimbeer.

Wasn't he unsuccessful conquering India?

You do know the period of history we're talking about here, right?

He would have been in India sending me emails trying to stash his conquered Prince money into my American account.

Well sort of. He reached India and won a victory over an Indian army at the Battle of Hydaspes River. Only problem was his troops refused to follow him any further. They'd had enough and just wanted to go home.

Australia was his Waterloo

You missed one.

His "empire" was basically an earlier version of Genghis Khan. Conquer new lands to ravish the lands and ladies, leave older conquests behind cowering in fear to pay taxes long enough for the next generation but nothing beyond that, he was basically pushing on and just leaving behind bastard children to deal with the consequences.
A very fragile situation. Bear in mind that he died around 30 or so. It was a very different world back then.
They were basically the mobile terrorists of that time.
