Part 4/6:
Fast forward to Alexander the Great during 334 BC, who faced a daunting challenge when he aimed to conquer the fortified island city of Tyre. Lacking a sufficient navy, Alexander resorted to an extraordinary solution: he ordered his troops to construct a causeway of rocks.
The logistical challenge was immense, yet his determination saw the Macedonians build a bridge to the island, ignoring the obstacles posed by Tyrians who thwarted their advances with incendiary ships. Alexander's audacity paid off, leading to the fall of Tyre and the establishment of his reputation as a military genius, albeit at a steep cost to the residents.
