The history of Alexandria city

Alexander the founder

Alexander the Great was a Macedonian king, he was taught by the well-known philosopher Aristotle and grew up to be the most brilliant warrior of all time, he dreamt of defeating the Persian empire and eliminating all of his competitors in order to rise with his own empire .indeed, he achieved what he was looking for and controlled half of the world even before he reaches 30 years old. after his father's Philip the second assassination he claimed the throne in the age of 20, the people and his own advisors thought he will not hold on for too long with such young age and lack of experience besides all of the conspiracies around him, but he didn't stop impressing everyone with his military mind and honest vision, so he decided to follow up his father's footsteps to spread the Macedonian dominance.

the young king started facing his first enemy the Persian emperor Darius the third, he took over Iraq. Syria and Gaza and before setting up for the next state he offered his opponent peace but it was rejected anyway, so he sieged them for weeks and entered Egypt where he founded Alexandria by leaving the mission of building the prominent city to his commander Cleomenes, it seemed to be a fact as told he never lost a battle and always was sure of victory. Alexander was growing very fond of the Egyptian civilization, some said he travelled through deserts to counsel Ammon god of the sun as ancient pharaohs assumed.
