#CapCut #Midjourney #AI #story #hiddenstory #history #how to learn history fast #Gordian #Knot #Alexander Upon arriving in Gordium in ancient Anatolia, Alexander the Great heard the prophecy entwined with the Gordian Knot. The prophecy stated that whoever unraveled this complex knot would become the ruler of Asia. Alexander began to attempt to untie the knot in the traditional manner after closely observing it. However, the knot was so tightly entangled that it seemed impossible to untie by hand. Ultimately, Alexander drew his sword and forcefully cut through the knot in one stroke. With this bold action, Alexander was declared to have untied the knot, fulfilling the prophecy and legitimizing his conquest of Asia. Alexander’s decision to reject traditional solutions in favor of an innovative approach became a story symbolizing his wisdom and decisiveness. “Cutting the Gordian Knot“ has remained an adage meaning to solve a seemingly impossible problem in a creative and decisive manner.
