By June, Alexandria is all that is left of areas under Ptolemaic control, aside from Cyrene. In October, Harsiesi conquers Alexandria after a three-month siege known as the Siege of Alexandria. After this, Harsiesi is now undisputed Pharaoh of all Egypt. Cleopatra II is executed, and Ptolemy flees to Cyrene, where he is still king. Harsiesi destroys monuments and records of the Ptolemaic pharaohs, though some records survive. Harsiesi forms a military alliance with Rome, which lasts 426 years. Harsiesi marries a Kushite woman named Hatshepsut (not to be confused with the 18th dynasty female pharaoh of the same name).
 * 128 BC- Harsiesi has a son, Ramesses (who would later become Ramesses XII, arguably one of the greatest pharaohs in Egyptian history), with his wife Hatshepsut. He also begins a conquest of Cyrene, which lasts four years. Rome supports Egypt in this war, following their new military alliance. The war lasts six years, and becomes known as the Egypto-Cyrenaican war.
 * 122 BC- Egypt successfully conquers Cyrene with the help of Rome, and also conquers Crete later this year. Ptolemy VIII chooses t become a farmer in the Nile delta. Nothing is known about him after this.
 * 120 BC- Harsiesi dies of unknown causes. He is succeeded by his son, Ramesses XII. Because of his young age, Ramesses' mother, Hatshepsut, is regent for the first seven years of his reign. Hatshepsut begins a conquest of the Blemmyes kingdom, a nomadic kingdom south of Egypt, which lasts three years.
 * 117 BC- Hatshepsut successfully conquers the Blemmyes kingdom, and begins a conquest of her homeland, Kush, which lasts four years.
 * 113-64 BC- Hatshepsut successfully conquers Kush in this year. Later this year, she steps down a s regent once her son, Ramesses XII, comes of age to rule Egypt. Ramesses, like his father and his mother before him, wants to create a new Egyptian empire and conquer more land for Egypt. He begins by conquering Axum, which lasts nearly ten years, before finally subduing it in 104 BC. He then conquers Nabataean kingdom, and does so by 98 BC. He also conquers Judea by 91 BC, and finally conquers the Seleucid kingdom by 87 BC.
