| According to Plutarch's account of the founding of Alexanderia, Homer appeared to Alexander
The Great in a dream and described Alexanderia as "an island set in deep ocean...lies off fair Egypts rich and fertile land and the name of the
island is called Pharos." Alexander's dream came true with the founding of Alexanderia in B.C. 331 on the site of the Ancient Egyptian Village of
Rakhotis. Alexanderia became the second largest city of the Roman Empire. Alexanderia is where we visited The Greco-Roman Museum, The Catacombs, Pompeys Red Piller and its catacombs. See the 1990 satalite photo below. |
