322 BCE

Alexander had received divine honors following his death in Babylon both in Egypt and elsewhere in the Greek cities.

Kings in Macedonia by custom assert their right to the throne by burying their predecessor.

Ptolemy, to preempt Perdiccas, the imperial regent, has Alexander’s body brought to Memphis, Egypt and buried here in a gold sarcophagus.

Ptolemy now marries Alexander's mistress, Thaïs, and commences to reign as king of Egypt and the adjacent Libyan and Arabian regions.
