While reading Riverbend I came across the name Al-Hakim and I thought it would be interesting to learn more about him. Riverbend mentions his assianation and how it was very important so I thought he sounded important and wanted to find out more about who he was. Al-Hakim had full power has the emperor at the age of only fourteen. He was very intelligent and a generous and described by the people very “pleasant.”  Al-Hakim was the sixth ruler of the Egyptian Shi’it. People said that some of his policies were abritury and harsh. He put bans of different types of vegetables and Shellfish.  Some of his religious beliefs affected Jews, Muslims, and Christians.  Although he caused some harm he also caused good. During the famine he gave food to the people. One night while walking Al-Hakim mysteriously vanished.  He hasn’t been seen since and many believe he was killed.
