The Reign of King Ptolemy I
The works that Ptolemy I created and the plans he made from the time he set foot in Egypt as ruler show that he was as skilled a politician as he was a warrior and leader. In the policy of governing the country abroad and at home, he followed plans and methods that led him to win in both fields to a great degree, as we have seen that he did not use violence and severity from the Egyptian people in glory to carry out his internal reforms. We don't see that he tried to force the parents to adopt Greek beliefs, customs, and morals.
He approached the Egyptians from a religious point of view. In fact, after his conquests expanded, Alexander believed that he should not stand against any people from a religious point of view because he hoped that eventually, if he lived long enough, he would unite the peoples of the world and establish himself as the son of Amun, who would control them by himself.
When Ptolemy I took over the rule of Egypt, he was quick to follow the policy of pleasing the priests when he took over the Shattarbia of Egypt. He made an advance of fifty talents to help with the burial costs of the calf of Apis, which he refused to take back, and this act on his part was the beginning of good relations between him and the Egyptian priests.
Between 327 and 325 BC, Alexander appointed him commander of the Macedonian fleet at Hedaps, now Jhelum, India, as a result of his successful advance through the Persian highlands on his way from Bactria to the Indus River. Ptolemy was able to control Palestine in southern Syria and wrest it from the hands of Seleucus I Nicator, and he also controlled the city of Keren in eastern Libya (Barqa) currently, in addition to the island of Cyprus.
Alexander's remains were buried in Memphis after being scheduled to be buried in the Aegean in Macedonia due to the campaign by Perdiccas against Egypt.
