"Aristotle Never Lived"

[JPCusickSr]

But also from that same link is physical primary evidence:

Greek and Egyptian inscriptions ... Alexander the Great actually existed.

I was only referring to any written text as like the claims of books from Aristotle - there are few and inadequate contemporary written text about Alexander.

I agree that Alexander did live and he conquered Persia and etc.

The claim here is that the writing of Aristotle are not credible.

One of the best books that I have read recently is

Plato of Athens : a life in philosophy
by Robin Waterfield.
New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2023.

Plato surely lived.
Aristotle, too.
That Alexander was a student of Aristotle makes good sense, given what we (can) know about Plato's and Aristotle's schools and Alexander's origins.
