No.

He is mentioned as conquering all lands near the Pontus Euxinus, including Thrace, Syria, Crimeea...

Pharoah Alexandros I conquered all that shit and more. OK, not Crimea.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

The interesting thing is that Diodorus builds this pharaoh as some sort of Alexander wannabe. His father placed the sons of his noblemen near his own son during childhood, so they would form a loyalist corps of friends and warriors. He conquers this huge area and leaves behind colonists. He divides Egypt into nomes for the first time...

Oh, and even introduces the worship of Serapis for both Upper and Lower Egypt, an attempt similar to that of Alexander, that tried to religiously unite both regions through Amun...

He's Ptolemaic then, since traditional Egyptian religion needs the Egyptian to be buried in Egypt. And not Ptolemy I since he was one of Alexander's Generals.

He is not Ptolemaic, since he is mentioned first by Herodotus  :lol:
