He was King of Macedonia, Pharaoh of Egypt and Monarch of Asia. The unification of all the nations of the world under one single state was a dream of him. He did not harm the religious temples which he captured, equated the Egyptian gods to the Greek gods and respected the cultures of other societies. His these features made him a popular ruler in lands outside of Macedonia. Nearly Seventy cities were built in new conquered lands and some of their names were Alexander. During his campaign he was taking along important people like scholars. During the reign of his, Greek culture and greek language spread over a very wide area. Alexander became the pioneer of the Helenistic Period and prepared the foundations of the Roman Empire.
