To analyze the historical perspective presented in the tables regarding Alexander the Great's conquests, we need to consider how they reflect the attitudes towards warfare, conquest, and cultural integration during Alexander's time compared to contemporary values.

One table that stands out in this context is the one that states:

**Historical Perspective**
- Inhumane and unjust massacre of the inhabitants of Tyre
- Methods of warfare different than today’s
- Sieges and sacking of cities were common ancient practices
- Embraced local culture, religion, and ideas
- Allowed people he conquered to retain their identity, less common during the time period
- Conquest of cities common during the time period
- Embraced local cultural and religious ideas
- Cultural and religious tolerance were uncommon during the time period

### Why This Perspective Differs from Today:

1. **Acceptability of Warfare**: The statement acknowledges that sieges and sacking cities were common practices in ancient warfare, which contrasts sharply with modern conventions that generally view such actions as inhumane. Today, there is a greater emphasis on minimizing civilian casualties and adhering to humanitarian laws.

2. **Cultural Integration**: This perspective also discusses how Alexander allowed conquered peoples to retain their identity, which would not have been as common in that historical context. In today's society, this notion of cultural sensitivity and respect for existing identities is widely valued, contrasting with many historical conquests that imposed colonizing culture forcibly.

3. **Recognition of Violence**: The explicit framing of the massacres as "inhumane and unjust" reveals a contemporary moral understanding that condemns such actions, whereas during Alexander's time, such outcomes might have been seen as successful military strategy rather than moral failures.

By using a lens of historical empathy, it becomes clear that while military leaders like Alexander the Great might have been seen as successful in their time for their ability to conquer and integrate vast territories, today's perceptions of their actions are colored by modern values regarding human rights and cultural respect.

Thus, this table effectively illustrates a perspective that would be critical of Alexander's practices while also acknowledging the context in which he operated, highlighting the significant shifts in moral and ethical standards over time.
