Greeks and Egypt
Alexander the Great
332 BC
Ka Pltah city see
What is the city's name
This was asked,
in the Egypt domain
The word Kapt
was used to point,
at people who were living,
in the city
Later this word,
was used to point,
at all Egyptians,
in Ka Pltah
Alexander advanced on Egypt,
in 332 BC
Regarded as a liberator
Wanting recognition as the descendant
Long line of pharaohs blendment
Alexander made sacrifices,
to the gods at Memphis
Then consulting the famous Oracle
Motivations likely twofold,
wanting to legitimize his rule,
in the eyes of the Egyptians cool
Acting like a Pharaoh,
hoping that the Oracle
at Swia,
would declare he was,
descended from the,
pharaonic line,
care all fine
Dazzled by Egypt,
and its ancient culture fair
Alexander's conquests spread,
the Greek culture,
also known as Hellenism
across the empire,
high spire
New era
Hellenistic Age
Powerful influence,
on others,
Greeks definitely gave,
from their culture,
entwined with,
Egyptian Ptah
Maker of things,
the divine blacksmith brings
