Egyptian's Governments


A particularly bleak period of Egyptian history is the conquest of Egypt by Persia. The Egyptians were dominated by Persian intruders and the united Greek city-states. The ruled effectively by Alexander the Great, after his death the throne of Egypt fell to Ptolemy I. In this essay I am going to compare and contrast of Alexander’s government and Ptolemy’s government.

Alexander the Great was one of the most successful military commanders in history, he was seem to Ptolemy I, that was a Macedonian general under Alexander the Great who became ruler of Egypt; he was with Alexander from his first campaigns, and played a principal part in the later campaigns in Afghanistan and India.

During Alexander’s period, he conquered most of the world known to the ancient Greeks, reason why Egyptian Empire growth. However, when Ptolemy I took the title of Egyptian King, after the Alexander’s death, the empire created by Alexander the Great began to break up.

While Alexander the Great is recognized as a strong military and because of constant military campaigns to conquer territory, Ptolemy I is remembered because of his imagination and efforts, due to that he began the construction of the Pharos Lighthouse in Alexandria and erected the great Mouseion, among others.



Egyptian civilization is an clear example of the types of great governments. There is an enormous difference between the growth of Alexander’s government comparing whit Ptolemy’s government. Each king had different recognize for their job when they were governments.
