Yeah, exactly. I mean, I've always loved the successive period because there are gaps, but there's so much to talk about within those gaps. Sometimes in ancient history, you get gaps and you don't really know what's going on. And there's not much going on, as far as we can tell. Hence the concept of dark ages appearing and all that different stuff, right?

And there's so many stories, especially in the first, I mean, even the first two years after Alexander dies, it's absolute chaos and carnage. There's people everywhere. There's all sorts of stuff going on in all these different places around his empire. But it's, you know, it's fascinating. We could do another podcast just on those two years and it would take up another...
