    Book 1, Chapter Seven: The Ascent, Pages 157 and 158


    So we turn back time,
    yes again, to the year 326 BCE.
    At the banks of India’s Beas River, —
    which you may know as Hyphasis from Western writers —
    the furthest point of Alexander’s campaign,
    and all the world he has ever known.

    Chapter Seven 157-158

    Boy am I glad to be done with the medieval manuscripts. They were so time-costly to finish… which would be fine if not for the hundreds of projects that I am drowning in this summer. @_@

    Footnotes:

    Shoutout to this bro for vlogging his adventures around the specific part of the Beas River I had so much trouble finding reference for. True MVP. So thorough with the recordings.

     

    – Most references tend to show the river too far into the north of Alexandria on Hyphasis, which was located near Amritsar. I cannot be zone in accurately where exactly Alexander hung out, but the Beas township in Amritsar is as close as anyone can get, especially for reference.
