IN THE YEAR 332 B.C. ALEXANDER THE GREAT REACHED EGYPT AFTER CRUSHING TWO PERSIAN ARMIES

HE SET OUT FOR THE TEMPLE OF ZEUS AMMON

DEEP IN THE SAHARAN DESERT

IN 524 B.C. AN ENTIRE PERSIAN ARMY SENT BY EMPEROR CAMBYSES HAD DISAPPEARED IN THE DESERT LOOKING FOR THIS TEMPLE

IT IS SAID THAT ALEXANDER WAS SAVED A SIMILAR FATE WHEN TWO CROWS APPEARED TO GUIDE HIM TO THE TEMPLE, AND RAIN MIRACULOUSLY FELL IN THE DESERT.

WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE TEMPLE

THE HIGH PRIEST PROCLAIMED HIM TO BE A LIVING GOD

ALEXANDER FOUNDED THE CITY OF ALEXANDRIA, WHOSE LIBRARY BECAME THE INTELLECTUAL CENTER OF THE ANCIENT WORLD

THE GIANT LIGHTHOUSE AT PHAROS, ALEXANDRIA

WOULD BECOME ONE OF THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD

ALEXANDER WOULD CREATE AN EMPIRE

THAT WOULD STRETCH FROM ANCIENT GREECE

TO MODERN PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN
