KING ALEXANDER THE GREAT

NAME: Alexander The Great

YEARS: 356 - 324 B.C.

DEATH: Possibly died of Maleria that was suspected to have occured from heavy drinking. He was 32 years old.

KEY POINTS: Alexander conqured the world at a young age and created a capital in Egypt name "Alexandria." This would have then moved the capital from Memphis to his new found city. While also in Egypt he visited Memphis and then made a dangerous quest to the Temple of Zues-Ammon, where he met with a priest who declared him as a Son of God. When he died in Babylon his body was moved back to Memphis and then transported one more time to Alexandria under the direction of one of his former generals Ptolmey I. Ptolmey was also the record keeper of Alexander's conquest and became the ruler of Egypt after Alexander's former Kingdom had crumbled.
