Ahem. They were conquered by the Iranians first, under King Cambyses who overthrew Psammetichus.For over 2000 (that is two thousand!) years they were the center of the world until they were conquered by Alexander.
When Alexander invaded, Egypt was still a province of the Achaemenid Empire.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

Which has nothing to do with who first conquered Egypt- the Macedonians or the Iranian Achaemenid Empire.Originally posted by Will
Egypt remained culturally Egyptian until Alexander came.
Egypt remained for the most part culturally Egyptian even after the foundation of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, with Egyptian women having greater rights than other women in the Hellenic world or the Roman world. Egyptian religious figures were coopted by the Ptolemies and the Romans.
The fact that the Achaemenids respected indigenous religious beliefs in Babylonia and Egypt and elsewhere says an awful lot about the tolerant nature of their empire.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.
