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 INTO 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

AFTER RETURNING TO EGYPT HE FOUNDED THE CITY OF ALEXANDRIA

THE LIBRARY THERE 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
