WI: Alexander the Great doesn't die in 232 BC?

That's a bit pessimistic. Based on some very exclusive historical evidence, I would say that Alexandros Megas Toynbee Argead III of the Proto-Yugoslav Republic of Macedon was destined to conquer not just the entire Old World, but the New World within a single lifetime. After "death", Megas Alexandros' body is cybernetically enhanced and revived by Archimedian technology and Hephaestian automata, not to mention some clay generously stolen from Prometheus. Megas Alexandros then uses the Babylon spaceport (constructed by the ancient alien, Ashurbanipal) as a springboard from which to send Macedonian space phalanxes to conquer not just the solar system--naming new planets as he conquers them--but the entire galaxy, crushing all resistance under an iron fist. By 275 BC, at the latest, I expect hybridized, genetically engineered, cloned Parso-Macedonio-Carthaginio-Graeco-Arabian-Roman phalanxo-peltasto-legiono-hoplites to be using the black hole at the center of the Milky Way as a wormhole to travel to other universes and conquer them, not only to extract their resources but also to spread Hellenistic civilization. By 100 BC, there will be no difference between "Greek" and "Greek God". Greco-Persians will laugh at the Pyramids and the Temple of Halicarnassus as a hilariously primitive remnant of the "civilization" that once was. By 1 AD, all of the 500 supercities on Earth named Alexandria will have merged into one global megamegalopolis, an ecumenopolis. For this reason, the planet Earth itself will be renamed Alexandria. By 200 AD, referring to Alexander as a person, rather than the progenitor of the post-human sentient gas cloud inhabiting all universes at once, will become so far from reality as to become incomprehensible. Humanity collectively refers to itself as Alexandros. However then he gets poisoned at Babylon and the entire universe collapses.
