EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the ancient world, as Alexander the Great's formidable army makes its way through the inhospitable coastal desert of Baluchistan, now modern-day Pakistan, around 325BC. The Mekran desert, also known as Makran, stretches along the Arabian Sea and was a daunting challenge for any army, especially one as large and complex as Alexander's. The army, a sea of soldiers, horses, and wagons, is seen making its way across the desolate landscape, with the sun casting long shadows over the arid terrain. In the background, vultures circle ominously overhead, their sharp eyes scanning the ground below for signs of prey. These birds of prey were a common sight in the ancient world, and their presence served as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of life in the desert. Alexander's army was on a mission to conquer new lands and expand his empire, but the journey was far from easy. The army had to contend with the harsh desert conditions, limited water supplies, and the constant threat of attack from local tribes. The mobilization of such a large army was a logistical feat in itself, requiring careful planning and organization. Despite the challenges, Alexander pressed on, driven by his ambition and determination to conquer new territories. This image captures a moment in history, a snapshot of a pivotal moment in Alexander's epic journey across Asia. The vultures overhead serve as a reminder of the fragility of life and the relentless cycle of nature, even in the midst of great military campaigns.
