Ptolemy [Πτολεμαίος] was one of Alexander's the Great generals in the mission of the conquest of the Achaemenid Empire [Persian]. He was born at 367 and died at 283 BCE. In the battle fields he gained the title Soter [Σωτήρ - Savior] . After the death of Alexander he escorted the body of his late king to be buried in Egypt where he had been honoured as god. He managed to take control of Egypt and became the founder of the Ptolemaic kingdom and the dynasty. He was proclaimed Pharaoh of Egypt at 305 BCE. His dynasty lasted to the end of the kingdom of Egypt at 30 BCE when the Romans annexed the state when Pharaoh was Cleopatra VII Philopator.
