V of "Economics of Alexander the Great"]. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- At last a book about the technology and the economotechnicals during and after the campaign of the Alexander the Great. This monumental work -long out of print, a very hard and rare book to find- was prepared by one of the foremost Economist, who writes history. It contains deep analysis, with many ancient texts (Ancient Greeks, Hebrew, Hieroglyphs, Coptic, Ideograms, Linear, Assyrian, Persian, Syrian, Sumerian, Arabic, Amharic, Aramaic, Babylonian, Hindi, Sanskrit, Latin, etc.), including tips of modern translations (Greek, English, etc.). This book describes the army, the navy, the different types of the warships, the mechanical, the inventions, the maritime economy, the contracts and legislation of this period (laws for solders, laws for sales, codes of Alexandria, etc.)...... >Hi, > >Just gotta tell you this little known story.

REPLY from gr_zorzos@attglobal.net: Do you have the ancient texts of your opinion? If so please send. regards Hi, Alexander's Rag Time Band was a highly classified military secret, as you can well imagine. Not only the formula, but also its very existence. But the story, while never written, has been handed down by oral tradition in the photochemist culture. (Of course we were photo- alchemists during the middle ages) I heard it many decades ago in a lecture on photochemistry. And my post may be the very first time that the secret has been revealed in print. That is, if you printed my post. ,,,,,,, _______________ooo___(_O O_)___ooo_______________ (_) jim blair (jeblair@facstaff.wisc.edu) Madison Wisconsin USA.
