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.
