Episode 86 of The History of Egypt dives into the Ptolemaic dynasty — the Greek Macedonian family who ruled Egypt for nearly 300 years after Alexander the Great's conquest. Lucas and Luna explore how Ptolemy I Soter, one of Alexander's generals, seized Egypt and founded a dynasty that blended Greek and Egyptian traditions. They discuss the creation of Alexandria as a cultural capital, the Ptolemaic adoption of pharaonic titles and temple-building, the brutal family feuds that plagued the dynasty, and the gradual decline that led to Cleopatra VII's final confrontation with Rome. Along the way, they touch on key figures like Ptolemy II Philadelphus, the Great Library of Alexandria, the Rosetta Stone's Ptolemaic context, and the revolt of the Egyptian priest Harmachis. This episode offers a fresh angle not covered in prior episodes on the Mamluks, Nubian pharaohs, or Cleopatra's navy. #Ptolemies #PtolemyISoter #PtolemyIIPhiladelphus #Alexandria #LibraryOfAlexandria #Pharaoh #HellenisticEgypt #SeleucidEmpire #CleopatraVII #RosettaStone #Soter #Philadelphus #Epigoni #Harmachis #PtolemaicDynasty #NorthAfrica #AncientEgypt #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
