Alexander the Great was treated as a pharaoh after he was welcomed by the Egyptians to rule because the realized that they couldn't defeat him. He was the most powerful ruler in the world b that time and maybe till today.

Alexander established new cities


Alexander founded some twenty towns: real Greek towns (poleis), permanent military garrisons (katoikiai) and temporary military settlement (phrouria). Other towns were simply just renamed. Alexandrupolis: founded in 340 by the crown prince. This was a Greek city, built among the Maedians, a tribe on the banks of the Strymon. Neighborhood of modern Sandanski (Bulgaria). By establishing these cities and towns, Alexander's rose his power and made many people join the army which helped him to conquer 2000 miles of the world. That was a huge accomplishment and still now, no one could brake this reacord of conquered land, especially that he fought many bloody wars and lost a lot of men.

While he was young, he was taught the Greek language, science, art, and philosophy. The main reason that made Alexander to leave Greece and go to Macedonia is that he thought that Greece will stay calm, but it didn’t so he came back and fought for uniting it back.

Alexander the Great in Palestine


Alexander the great rested with his military soldiers at the coast of Palestine where they built an earthen causeway across a waterway that protected their town's defenses. Palestine was an important place for Alexander to conquer, because it was the main road that leads him to Egypt and the Persian provinces. When Alexander the great went in there, he was impressed by the Jewish religion and used some of their culture to make him think about the religion he is going to be using for the rest of his travelling around in Asia. He used Palestine to easily reach the other countries around and join them to his collection of conquered lands.
