There were a few powerful people in history that had died early. One of them was Alexander the Great, one of the greatest commanders ever to live, mentored by Aristotle. Back then, after Alexander the Great entered ancient Egypt after defeating the Persians, he had personally led an army deep into the great western deserts to visit the Amun Temple and learn how to become a pharaoh whom Egyptians would follow. 

Before that, the Persians had mulled over this issue too. Even though they had occupied ancient Egypt for 200 years, the ancient Egyptians didn't agree with the legality of their rule, and they refused to recognize the Persians as their pharaohs. They had resisted them for 200 years.
