THE END OF HIS RULING

The time of ruling for Alexander the great ended with his death at the young age of 32 in the summer of 323 BC in Babylon, Iraq while conquering the area. The cause of his death remains a mystery, many historians have tried to figure out the cause, they go from the possibility of poisoning, malaria, thyroid fever and more. He drank wine in a reunion and after a 3 day fever he passed away, his body was put in a honey bat to try to kick off decay, but was later cremated in Memphis. His empire was in a very good place when he died and continued to be so even after he died, but his successors fought for the throne and the empire was eventually divided into five parts by some of his generals.
