He became Pharoah when he liberated Eygpt from the Persians, he then planned the great city/port of Alexandria, with streats been set out in grid pattern for the first, and how they still are today, it was the first modern city of the ancient world. Ptolomy improved the city by adding the Phoros Lighthouse one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world which stood to just before the Tudor period until this 144m tall tower collapsed in an earthquake. Ptolomy also added the great Library, a source of study and knowlede, where scientists came from accross the ancient world to study there. Alexandria is still a growing thriving city in egypt, and has been it's main port for nearly two and a half thousand years. Alexanders reign as pharoah ended when he died (obviously) And he was buried in Alexandria egypt his greatest city that he founded, his tomb is yet to be found.
