A metal statue of Greek soldier was discovered in northern Xingjiang, China. Researchers explained that not doubt this was a result of Alexander the Great’s influence.
Alexander the Great was the son of a Greek king who defeated much Greek cities in battle. In the age of 20, he became king after his father died. However, many cities rose up against Alexander, so he led an army to take it back. Though his army had only 3,000 troop, but he won every battle. He took his army into the Middle East, Egypt, then India. It seemed that something could stop him from conquering the entire world. However, his own army grew tiring of endless battles and refused to go any farther. Late he came down with a fever and died in 323 BC.
Alexander the Great spread the Greek culture from Europe to Africa and Asia. The statue of the Greek soldier probable came to China in the 4th century BC with a result of trade.
