Alexander the great led his army across the Gedrosian Desert as part of his campaign to reach India after conquering Persia. The crossing was a strategic move to demonstrate his leadership and resilience, as well as to avoid enemy forces. However, the harsh conditions of the desert resulted in significant losses for his army, highlighting the extreme challenges they faced. This journey also served to solidify Alexander's reputation as a daring and ambitious leader.
