<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2207629, member: 51347&quot;]Further, I think Ptolemy was a FAR-thinking man:&nbsp; He lived to be 84...and in that long lifetime, he had the Library of Alexandria built, attracted philosophers and great thinkers from all over the known world to Alexandria, helped build Alexandria into one of the greatest and largest cities in the known World.&nbsp; He was a great statesman, and a successful General successfully holding off any attack by the Perdiccas and other players after his kingdom.&nbsp; Although he took control of Ægypt in approx 321 BCE, he consolidated power, extended Ægyptian control, and eventually overcame thousands of years of culture to become Pharaoh of Ægypt in 305 BCE.&nbsp; Amazing man, well suited to trod in Alexander&#039;s Footsteps...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
