It is no wonder that Alexander the Great (356 BC–323 BC) was often mistaken for a god; he modeled his life on nothing less. Instilled in him from an early age was the belief that he was the product of a union between his mother, Olympias, and the lord of the Olympian gods, Zeus almighty himself. He never doubted it and made much of his divinity during his campaigns in the East, where it held the most sway. Yet he was much more than just a god. An iconic hero of mythic proportions, Alexander is considered the greatest military general in Western history; his military expeditions are praised for advancing science and geography by shifting the major concentration of “civilization” eastward. Moreover, when Hellenistic culture expanded from Macedonia to the Indian subcontinent, similar language and currency links were formed, opening new commerce routes and cross-cultural interaction. In this way, many believe that Alexander’s achievements contributed to the Roman Empire’s rise in power and the eventual spread of Christianity across most of the known world. Increasingly, however, historians are reassessing his contributions. Viewed from another perspective, the dissemination of Greek culture throughout the East came at the expense of Eastern civilization while leaving behind a trail of death and destruction in its wake. The Great Conqueror who never knew defeat was responsible for killing hundreds of thousands—by some estimates up to a million—of those who crossed his barbarous path.

A remarkable discovery has been made in the fields of Elsted, just north of Aarhus, Denmark, where a young archaeology student from Aarhus University stumbled upon a significant silver hoard dating back to the early Viking Age. This find, consisting of seven intricately crafted silver bracelets, offers new insights into the extensive trade networks and cultural connections that characterized the Viking world. A Lucky Find In the spring of this year, 22-year-old Gustav Bruunsgaard, an archaeology student at Aarhus University, was exploring the countryside near Elsted with his metal detector. To his surprise, the device emitted a strong signal, leading him to unearth a silver bangle buried beneath the soil. Recognizing the potential significance of his find, Bruunsgaard returned to the site days later, where he uncovered six more bracelets, bringing the total weight of the hoard to over half a kilogram (1.1 pounds). The treasure has since been examined by a team of Danish and international experts, who confirmed its origin in the Viking Age, specifically dating it to the 8th century AD. This period marks the early years of the Viking Age, not long after the establishment of Aarhus—then known as Aros—as a burgeoning Viking settlement.
