There is no evidence for Alexander the Great taking a piss into the Nile at river mile 72 either, but I will not waste breath arguing with those who asserted it happened, nor cling onto any inward position about whether it really happened. But I will spend time argue against the assertion that Because he fulfilled the prophesy of pissing into the Nile, and because his hair is said to gave off a brilliant golden light during the height of the battle of Issus, therefore he is 1. divine being and 2.
