Daily Assignment,"Describe the relations between Egypt and Persia before Alexander came on the scene."

Before Alexander came into and invaded Persia, Egypt and Persia where grave enemies. The Persians hated the Egyptians and the Egyptians hated the Persians. The Egyptians hated the Persians for mocking them for all their gods and disrespected their gods also. The Persians also hated the Egyptians for religion and many other reasons. Since the Egyptians hated Persia, before Alexander the Great was probably born, they allowed Alexander right in and worshiped him as a king. The Egyptians even crowned Alexander the great as pharaoh and thanked him for his quest in taking over all of Persia. While in Egypt, Alexander travels to Siwa to visit the Oracle of Amman. Alexander the Great visited the Oracle of Amman to see what his future would be like. Alexander walked right up the steps, when the priests came out and called him son of God. This was enough for Alexander; now Alexander and his troops had more confidence than ever. After Alexander the Great got some more confidence, he was now ready to head to the heart of Persia and conquer Persepolis, the capital of the Persian Empire. Persia and Egypt were mortal enemies for a long time, and they had no respect towards each other. Both Egypt and Persia wanted the enemy whipped off the map. As you can see Egypt and Persia where enemies for life, and hated each other so much that they wouldn’t even walk in the path of their enemy.
