another indicator of the importance

There is another indicator of the importance of this Persian Gulf route: Alexander the Great’s search for an alternative to it. After turning his army back from the Beas River (in present-day Punjab) to begin his march home, Alexander undertook a sea voyage from the Indus, along the Makran Coast, to reach the Persian Gulf. He had tasked two small groups of his soldiers to explore the Persian Gulf and one group to sail down the Red Sea to the south coast of Yemen.[9] Before he could realise his dream of discovering the feasibility of a Red Sea route to the Gulf, he died in Babylon in 323 BCE. The Red Sea route was only made viable a century later by descendants of his Macedonian General Ptolemy I Soter, who went on to rule Egypt. สล็อต เว็บตรง
