A great statue at a spendid harbor

An emperor with both rich knowledge and outstanding military talent is hardly seen within about a thousand years. Up to now, his bronze sculpture still stand at Alexander harbours. Almost every country he conquered has got his statue, and the sign of a gone history would have got some impact on our generation.

The general bronze sculptures in many cities bring us the similar sight, we usually feel the same way as others on these artwork. The most attractive one is standing in an unknown garden in Shenzhen, it is the bronze Egypt queen sculpture. One of the most famous one is called Yanhou in Egypt. Once she ruled this country herself well, maybe her authority obtained after her husband’s death, and in her palace there were many bronze sculptures of cruel animals or person, such as bronze hunter sculpture.

Several years later, Alexander the Great conquered this land, and show his strong interest in her. So these two kings ruled the state together. As time went by, Alexander took up more and more lands, and large part of Asia was included in his empire then. The ancient Greek culture was taking along as the army. But as historian says, too much tough leaders share one government would cause the political disaster. Disappointingly, the whole united kingdom fell apart before long after his death.
