Alexander the Great was one of the greatest rulers in history. However, he died under strange
circumstances at the age of 32 and his murder is still widely debated. This text uncovers
16 previously
unknown secrets that attempt to
solve the mystery
behind the untimely death of one of the greatest kings the world has ever seen.
History recollects two different versions of his death, both of which state that
he was murdered through poisoning. However, since accounts from ancient times
are hard to find, the true details of his murder are still shrouded in doubt
and mystery.
The Murder of Alexander the Great: Book 1: The Puranas by Ajith Kumar is the first in a
two-part series that offers a
different perspective after almost 2,000
years on the death
of the greatest commander throughout history. Through the text, Alexander the
Great is established as a prominent figure in Sanskrit literature as well. This
brings to light some previously unknown facts about his life and the
circumstances that led to
his murder. The first book follows Alexander the Great’s journey of rising to power and brilliant analysis of
that journey as the secrets slowly unfold.
Ajith Kumar
has built a unique and powerful narrative, taking help from ancient Indian texts and artifacts
as well. His work truly displays a different world that depicts blood-thirsty
wars and endless struggles for power. However, the sixteen secrets that the author has identified are distinct and
only been possible through the comparisons that have been drawn with Indian
history. Alexander’s empire had stretched all the way to the Northwestern
territories of this country. Therefore, his life and death are part of its history. Since this work plays an
essential role in rewriting history, it is a must-read for any reader who has interest in mysteries of the past.
It is beautifully composed and the author’s unique care for detail
shines through the writing. The prose is excellent and Ajith Kumar has the unwonted
ability to grab and sustain the reader’s attention throughout the narrative.
