Death of Alexander the Great

(

)

... that Babylonian astrologers tried to avert the death of Alexander the Great (pictured)?
ALT: ... that after the death of Alexander the Great (pictured) Achaemenid subjects shaved their heads?

Hook: Interesting enough (both), AGF on the shaving. Short enough. Image is PD, but probably too detailed to use.

Article: Long enough, new enough, referencing seems fine, image is PD, seems neutral. Paraphrasing seems fine.
