Having beaten the Persians in Asia, Alexander the Great conquered Egypt in the year 332 BC and expelled them out of Egypt. Then, he crowned himself as a king in the Pharaonic style and founded a new capital for Egypt named after him as "Alexandria". Then, he made pilgrimage to Amun's Temple in Siwa Oasis, which was world renowned at that time.
