She's in this situation where she has to like, she can't actually be pharaoh herself.

She's got to...

politically, like dynastically marry her 13 year old brother, you know, and it's probably just like, they're probably not actually having sex, whatever, but you know, um, he's like 13 years old.

He ends up suspiciously being drowned in this.

I think it's an attack, uh, on this boat.

It's, it's something like that.

But anyways, she becomes, she becomes her brother.

So she can be in charge.

Yeah,

But Egypt is in this very precarious situation now where all of her incompetent grandfathers who let power slip and slip and slip away.

Actually, one of the things that is the worst travesty of the slip of Alexandrian Ptolemaic rule was Ptolemy X.

he had bankrupted Egypt's economy by wasting all of the money.

And so he had to go down into Alexander's mausoleum.

Alexander had this huge monument that sat across the street from the library of Alexandria.

And he had this huge monument, and you'd see this statue of Alexander, and then it was under the ground that Alexander is buried in this solid gold sarcophagus surrounded by the burials of all of the other Ptolemaic kings that are around him.

And Ptolemy X goes in and pulls Alexander out of his coffin, puts him in a crystal or alabaster sarcophagus, melts down the gold, and he has to use that to pay off debt.

Wow.

Nasty work.

There's like a poetry time.

It's crazy.
