The Ptolemaic Dynasty – The Greek Pharaohs Who Doomed Ancient Egypt

They built the Lighthouse of Alexandria, gathered all the world’s knowledge in the Great Library, and ruled as living gods. But behind the golden façade of the Ptolemaic Dynasty lay a dark history of incest, murder, and madness that ultimately handed Egypt over to Rome. 🏛️🐍

In this documentary, we uncover the rise and tragic fall of the "Greek Pharaohs." It begins with a general who stole Alexander the Great’s body to forge a kingdom and ends with a queen who chose a cobra’s bite over Roman chains. We explore how a dynasty that started with unparalleled intellect descended into a "blood feud" so violent it tore the ancient world apart.

From the heist of the millennium in the deserts of Babylon to the final, silent moments inside Cleopatra’s mausoleum, this is the story of how the Ptolemies built a paradise and then burned it down.
