The Egyptian Ptolemaic dynasty lasted 275 years, or more than the entire lifespan of the United States. Is it uncommon to see such long dynastic runs in Egypt or among other civilizations? What made the Ptolemies so successful?

Suppose the Sahara started to turn green again around 300 BC. What would happen to Carthage and Ptolemaic Egypt if there was suddenly WAY MORE arable land around them?
in the early Holocene the Sahara experienced monsoon rains from the Atlantic, making the area much greener than today. 7000 to 5000 years ago climate change caused the winds to change and the monsoons stopped coming.
Suppose the Earth's climate went back into a similar climate period during the early Hellenistic period, what would that mean for the civilisations based in North Africa?

Did the average person in Ptolemaic Egypt identify as Greek or Egyptian?

062: Ptolemaic Egypt - Egyptians in a Greek Land [The Hellenistic Age Podcast]
The conquest of Egypt by Alexander and establishment of the Ptolemaic dynasty differed from previous foreign invaders like the Hyksos or the Persians. While the Ptolemies would very much present themselves as traditional pharaohs, they would bring thousands of Greek immigrants, founded poleis, and imported Greek culture en masse. For the indigenous Egyptians, Ptolemaic rule required them to live with two "faces": those like Manetho, an Egyptian priest of Amun-Ra who composed an influential history of Egypt in Greek known as the "Aegyptiaca", would continue to work under the new regime. Others were able to exploit "Hellenization" as a means of advancement, seen in the archives of the mixed Greco-Egyptian military family of Dryton and Senmonthis-Apollonia, revealing the complexities of ethnic and cultural identity. But we also can see the tensions between the Greek and Egyptian communities, which could explode in bouts of violence and rebellion. In this episode we look to see how the Egyptians responded to the arrival of a new political, social, and cultural elite.
