Right, the later pharaos were often greek.
This is awfully inaccurate. One singular dynasty, after alexander, was fully greek. Greek pharaohs weren't just a thing. There was one greek family that declared themselves Pharaohs after Alexander died.
Now that you mention it, wasn't it about Kleopatra?
Edit: well that dynasty lasted for 275 years, before they were incorporated into Rome: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemaic_dynasty
Yeah, 275 years of 3120. Still one dynasty, the way the comment was phrased made it seem like there would randomly be Greek Pharaohs in the middle of the Egyptian ones. I wanted to make it clear that they were a distinct thing of their own.
