Egyptian Empire
In the year 30 BC, Cleopatra VII took her own life. With it the millennial history of ancient Egypt ended. Several years of famines, internal instability and the harassment of the Romans wiped out the remnants of the empire of the pharaohs.
Two Asian peoples invaded Egypt, first the Assyrians and then the Persians. Later, in 332 BC, Alexander the Great of Macedonia (a country close to Greece) conquered Egypt. He founded the city of Alexandria at the mouth of the Nile. -
