To examine the historical perspectives presented in the tables, we can identify which table reflects a perspective distinctly different from contemporary views and aligns with the historical context of Alexander the Great's empire-building methods.

Looking through the options, the key components include:

1. **Historical Perspective on Warfare**: In ancient times, warfare often included sieges and sackings of cities, which were viewed as normal military practices. Today, such actions are often viewed as inhumane and unjust.

2. **Conquest and Local Culture**: Many perspectives highlight cultural and religious assimilation or tolerance, which varies significantly from modern views on cultural preservation and autonomy.

3. **Interpretation of Massacres**: Describing the masses of people killed or enslaved in context — while acknowledging violence, the historical view tends to normalize it as part of conquest.

Among the tables presented, the one that stands out is the **fourth table** where it states:

- Historical Perspective:
- "Inhumane and unjust massacre of the inhabitants of Tyre"
- "Methods of warfare similar to modern practices"
- "Sieges and sacking of cities are common practices widely utilized today"
- "Inhumane and unjust massacre of the inhabitants of Gaza"
- "Conquest of cities uncommon during the time period"

This perspective diverges significantly from a historical viewpoint. It uses modern terminology suggesting that sieges and sackings are common today and that the methods of warfare are akin to those utilized presently. Historically speaking, sieges and conquests were prevalent practices during Alexander's time, yet the table's suggestion that today’s practices are similar misrepresents the historical context of warfare methods.

### Conclusion:
The **fourth table** reflects a historical perspective that differs from today's understanding of warfare and ethics, as it inaccurately equates modern practices with those of ancient warfare and suggests that sieges and conquests are more common now, which is historically inaccurate. Thus, it is the only table among the options that significantly mismatches the historical realities of Alexander the Great's reign versus contemporary views.
