In this episode of The History AI Podcast, Chuck and Marco break down one of the most pivotal battles in world history — the Battle of Gaugamela. Outnumbered five-to-one, Alexander the Great faces off against Darius III in a high-stakes clash that will decide the fate of empires.
Join us as we dive deep into the brilliant tactics, battlefield drama, and massive ripple effects of Alexander’s greatest military masterpiece. What made Gaugamela so legendary? How did a young Macedonian king outmaneuver one of the world's most powerful rulers? And what if Darius had actually won?
Plus, stick around for a special "What If?" segment, a hilarious sponsor break, and all the ancient-world banter you love.
