About Napoleon, Caesar & Alexander

Fakes the lot of them.

Apologies if I’m bombarding you this morning (8:48 NZST) with a few reposts and now this, but I feel like I have to write something but am off to the Farmers Market in a few minutes. So whatever I write has to be fast.

Whether or not Napoleon, Caesar & Alexander were real or not (I tend to the view that none of them were) the fact is that the things that they were alleged to have done and the things that they were alleged to have said all make them somewhat ‘larger than life’ or more to the point completely unbelievable. They are historical inventions, nothing more and nothing less. For Alexander our sources for him are at least 150 years or more after his death, for Caesar there are many who say that his initials hint at something even more ‘otherworldly’ and numismatics, for one, has a hard time justifying his existence in any timeline. Finally Napoleon was just a little too much like maybe a new god, maybe N’Apollon? (Apollo for those slow ones down the back). He also, after having stolen the god of the sun’s mantle, had one of his main battles against Nel Sun. A new son of god (this works in 5th C Greek too). Sheesh.

Also he never sat for his most iconic painting as he crossed the Alps Carthaginian like (except sans Elephants) and soldiers in his army were frequently disappointed when he didn’t turn up to chat at the last minute. He put the jacks (off) into Ajaccio.

So when you say this about the upcoming movie on Napoleon;

“The Ridley Scott trailer starting Joaquin Phoenix looks great. Oddly enough prior to this I had no clue how impressive of a military commander he was. 30+ battles won 17 against impossible odds all way more than Julius Cesar or Alexander the Great.”

The level of bullshit is thrice.

Napoleon, or is it Apollo or Jesus, on his deathbed

Napoleon, or is it Hannibal, crossing the Alps (Corolingian seems to be mentioned as well, more bullshit)
