Using complete sentances, explain the 3 ways Alexander the great affected the people of judah.

besides the diffusion of Hellenistic culture, Alexander's empire created a stable environment for trade in cities to flourish without fear of attack. Governments under his rule now protected and promoted trade which lead to the emergence of primary routes like the Silk Road. Chinese silk was an important commodity and was in great demand in the Mediterranean. Increased trade also led to the development of caravan cities along the Silk Road, such as the Greek-influenced cities of Petra and Palmyra. Caravan cities were not the only cities to thrive in Alexander's new cosmopolitan world. The Egyptian city of Alexandria was a center of culture and commerce. Founded by Alexander himself, Alexandria became the capital of Egypt under the Ptolemaic dynasty. Located directly on the Mediterranean, Alexandria's Great Harbor became an important hub for sea trade. Greek and Egyptian religion fused with the creation of the anthropomorphic god Serapis by Ptolemy I. Serapis combined aspects of the Egyptian god of the dead, Osiris, with the living Apis bull. This type of Greek-influenced religious transformation occurred throughout the Mediterranean. Alexander laid the foundation for new political systems. His generals divided up his empire after his death and installed themselves as absolute rulers in the Mediterranean and Asia. They created three key territorial states: the Seleucid Empire, Macedonia, and the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. Greek culture passed to neighboring peoples as these kingdoms expanded. Alexander even stabilized the political landscape in the Indus River Valley. This led to the emergence of the Mauryan Empire, the first such empire in India
