​The deadliest formation in ancient history...

​Imagine charging into a solid wall of 6-meter-long spears.
​The Macedonian phalanx, perfected by Philip II and made legendary by his son, Alexander the Great, was one of the most devastating military formations in ancient history. Armed with the "Sarissa"—a massive pike that was much longer than standard spears—multiple rows of soldiers could project their weapons forward simultaneously. This created an impenetrable, bristling wall of wood and iron that simply shredded enemy infantry and cavalry charges.
​It was the ultimate tactical advantage that helped Alexander conquer the known world.
