:03:01
We must go on, Ptolemy.
:03:06
Until we find an end.
:03:13
India
:03:15
India, the land where the sun was born,
:03:18
Fabled to be even richer than Persia,
:03:21
..had never been explored or conquered.
:03:25
From the beginning, Alexander struggled
to unify a land without a center.
:03:30
Kings who conspired against one another,
:03:33
A labrynth of tribes, urged on by zealots and philosophers,
:03:37
To die by the thousands for their strange gods.
:03:41
Crateros and the advance party fought
against men with hairy skins,
:03:45
who were tiny, and lived in the tops of trees.
:03:56

animals who immitated men,
:04:01
but wore their own skin.
:04:03
They called this tribe "monkey."
:04:08
Monkey.
:04:24

:04:33
Never before had we seen water that fell from the gods,
:04:37
For sixty days and nights.

:04:46
Come on man! We'll get you stronger!
Yes my King.
:04:52
I will be with you at your side.
