And then you will get the strong leader to emerge who is sort of Alexander in his own right.

Yeah.

But on that own scale, and they don't meet.

And it was interesting.

I remember talking to someone who wrote a book about the great contest between generals in history and said he couldn't really fit Alexander in because Alexander doesn't fight an equal in the sense of a great commander with a great army.

He fights one or the other, but not both at the same time.

It's not a Scipio and Hannibal.

It's not Caesar and a Pompey, or whoever you might see.

So he's there at the right moment, but it is, I think as well, they probably don't realize just how big and how populous India is when they arrive there.

So that, particularly because they've so recently been fighting after the big wars against the main United Persians, they've been fighting all these local campaigns.

They don't really have enough information.

They have gone beyond where they've got detailed.

Sorry.

Yeah.

And they're into the monsoon.

And it's just hellish.

Again, it's moved to a world they don't recognize.

It's like going into the desert in Egypt.

This is just strange.

And there's no end to it.
