Any thoughts?

Or is it again an stupid thing in my country and elsewhere people know that the persian was larger?

Are you talking about history in general? Because if you compare empires of all time, Alexander's empire was quite small.

But I do believe Alexander's empire is larger than the native Persian empire since he had parts of Greece, the remains of Persia, and parts of western India...
