Its early rulers restored and even expanded Egyptian power. Over a span of 300 years the period was witness to intellectual enlightenment, imaginative state-building, and some of the most memorable characters in ancient history, including Alexander the Great and Cleopatra VII.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut these Macedonian Greek pharaohs embarked on ruinous warfare, faced rebellion, and descended into murderous family feuds. Increasingly reliant on the dizzying rise of Roman power, Ptolemaic Egypt was finally annexed by Augustus in 30 BCE. How did such an ancient civilization come to this?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExploring the lives of the Ptolemaic pharaohs, de la B'edoy`ere reveals the jealousy, greed, and murderous ambition in their Egypt and the legendary city of Alexandria, their capital. This is a lively, accessible account of Ancient Egypt's last days-and of the new power rising in its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300275520\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guy de la Bedoyere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51864373920051,"sku":"9780300275520","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/24752943482294.jpg?v=1754225407","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-fall-of-egypt-and-the-rise-of","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
