The correct answer is "Ptolemy".

During the Hellenistic period, which spans from the death of Alexander the Great until the emergence of the Roman Empire, the Ptolemaic Dynasty ruled Egypt and most of Asia.

The Ptolemies carred on practicing the main aspects of Egyptian life and the rulers claimed the title of Pharaoh. In regards to religion, they also furthered their depiction on monuments joined with Egyptian dynasties. They also took the legitimacy of their power by proclaiming themselves as sons and daughters of the Sun God, Ra.


Hope this helps!
