Hakor overthrew his predecessor Psammuthes and falsely proclaimed himself to be the grandson of Nepherites I, founder of the 29th Dynasty, on his monuments in order to legitimise his kingship.[2] While Hakor ruled Egypt for only 13 years, his reign is important for the enormous number of buildings which he constructed and for his extensive restoration work on the monuments of his royal predecessors.[2] Reign - Early in his reign, Hakor revolted against his overlord, the Persian King Artaxerxes.

Akhenaten is one of the most interesting and controversial pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, having reigned in the time of the New Kingdom, ruling from 1353 to 1336 BC. He was a member of the 18th dynasty, and had very influential family members, such as his father Amenhotep III, his great royal wife Nefertiti and his son and heir Tutankhamun. But during his seventeen-year reign he made many changes to the traditional norm and was considered a heretic, and his reign was deemed a failure to some extent. Although, he is considered remarkable for his ideas of art and architecture. Unlike his family members, he was not considered as prominent in increasing New Kingdom Egypt’s prosperity, and after his death information about him was covered up and his son Tutankhamun took to the throne and him and future pharaohs started reverting back to how things were before Akhenaten’s reign.

Alexander was a villain because he kills family and did what had already been done. Alexander was a villain because he left the government undeveloped. Alexander focused more and conquering land than developing the land. Alexander died, the empire fell apart making the war unnecessary. Alexander could convince his men to do the craziest of things “Yet he never developed a successor.”
Another reason why he was a villain because he killed members of his family so that he would become the ultimate successor to the throne. This should never be how a king becomes the ruler of his kingdom, ever. Even though I believe that Alexander the Great is a villain, others may think he was a hero. They may think that because he had conquered so many other nations.
Alexander ruled over a huge empire. “He united over

Bow down peasants, for ‘I am Cyrus [the second], king of the universe, the great king, the powerful king, king of Babylon…king of the four quarters of the world, son of Cambyses…the perpetual seed of kingship, whose reign Bel and Nabu love, and with whose kingship, to their joy, they concern themselves.’ I would just like to start by saying that I honestly would rather be elsewhere, like on my death bed, than talking to all you try hard leaders.

It is accepted that King Ahasuerus is the Persian king Xerxes I, who ruled from 486-465 BCE (Littman 145). However, this poses problems as it is known who Xerxes was, what he did, and who he married. Records say that Xerxes was married to a woman named Amestris, and there are no records of a Vashti or an Esther (Littman 146).
