That would be interesting, though if we're talking about Alexander's time period, I'm not sure he would've been all too impressed by what he would be "conquering" in those places..
And speaking of the size and durability of his empire..
Effective logistics, communication and governance has remained the largest barrier to controlling and governing vast swathes of "conquered" territory even to this day. What made the Roman Empire so damn amazing was the public works, including road construction, which if I recall was not a particular strong point in Alexander's empire building.
