In this episode of *Dave Does History*, we dive into one of the most remarkable moments of Alexander the Great’s campaign: his crowning as Pharaoh in Egypt.

Join us as we explore the young Macedonian conqueror’s journey into the ancient land of Egypt, his reception as a liberator, and the symbolic gestures that earned him the loyalty of the Egyptian people. We'll recount the Siege of Gaza, the crowning ceremony in Memphis, and Alexander’s strategic reverence for Egyptian gods, which solidified his rule.

Discover how Alexander’s founding of Alexandria created a powerful legacy that reshaped Egypt and the Mediterranean for centuries.

This isn’t just a story of conquest—it’s the story of how Alexander became part of Egypt's history.
