evelynhewett:Inktober Day 25: Alexander the GreatIn the latter half of the 3rd Century BC Alexander III of Macedon conquered Egypt and founded the city of Alexandria.This city would become enormously important as the seat of power to later rulers of Egypt and, eventually, would become Alexander’s final resting place. The grave of Alexander the Great remains a major undiscovered archaeological site to this day. Alexander left the governance of Egypt in the hands of one of his senior generals: Ptolemy Soter, the first of the Ptolemeic line.Art note: Thank you Aidan Turner for your hair. -- source link
