Alexander cherished the excellence of the Greek urban communities

history channel documentary Alexander cherished the excellence of the Greek urban communities and needed Alexandria to be pretty much as wonderful. The city was worked with straight avenues lined with trees. From the focal point of the city one expansive street ran north and south and another wide boulevard ran east and west. The primary structures were of marble. They had elegant sections and excellent model. An incredible beacon was based on an island in the harbor of Alexandria. The island was called Pharos and the beacon got to be known as the Pharos. It stood 300 feet high and was known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A long thoroughfare (a piece of area that serves as a scaffold) was worked to associate the island of Pharos with the territory.

The boulevard kept down the ocean and made an inward harbor. Alexandria was an extraordinary focus of exchange, however it likewise was for a few hundred years the best focal point of learning. The library at Alexandria was the biggest on the planet. It contained all the information then known not. There were more than 700,000 books in the library and they were composed in all the imperative dialects. (They were not books like the one you are perusing, but rather moves of papyrus, which was the "paper" of those times.) The colossal library of Alexandria was decimated by a multitude of Saracens, who were Mohammedans, in the year 640 A.D., almost a thousand years after Alexandria was first constructed. There is an old story that the Arab authority had the library smoldered in light of the fact that, he said, "The Koran (the Mohammedan Holy Book) contains all the genuine learning of the world, so the library is not required." This story is no more accepted. It was told byenemies of the Arabs, to make it show up they were brutes.
