Summary "History of Egypt From 330 B.C. To the Present Time, Volume 10 (of 12)" by S. Rappoport is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume primarily discusses the period following Alexander the Great's conquest of Egypt, focusing on the Ptolemaic era and the subsequent foreign influences on the region. The text delves into the cultural and political ramifications of Greek and Roman dominance in Egyptian history, offering a detailed narrative of Egypt's changing power dynamics. The opening of the text provides a context for understanding Egypt's transition from ancient independence to foreign rule, highlighting the key figures and events during this transformative period. Rappoport references the decline of native Egyptian power, marked by the rising influence of the Macedonian Ptolemies, who maintained a Greek rule while adopting elements of Egyptian culture. The author discusses the interplay between Hellenism and Egyptian religion, emphasizing the unique cultural amalgamation occurring in places like Alexandria, which became a hub for knowledge and trade under Ptolemaic governance. This initial portion sets up a comprehensive exploration of the complex and layered history of Egypt, inviting readers to consider its rich cultural legacy amidst numerous conquerors.
