3.55 Greek Rule in Egypt: Ptolemy the 3rd through Ptolemy the 6th
In this episode, I cover the history of Ptolemaic Egypt between Ptolemy the 3rd Euergetes and Ptolemy the 6th Philometor. So, the time period between 245 and 145 BC. In this period were several wars in Syria, a potential failed attempt by a Ptolemy to enter the 2nd temple, and internal conflict. A time setting the stage for the arrival of the toddler Jesus to Egypt. After listening, let me know what you think.
