3. FACTS ABOUT
ALEXANDRIA
Alexander the Great chose the site in 331 B.C.
There was a healthy environment for people, land, ships and
farmers
It stood in an ideal place for commerce at the meeting-place of
great trade routes and it played a key role in its success
The streets were on a grid system
Canopus Street, which was 100 feet wide, could hold many
wagons going many separate ways
Alexander the Great did not see his city completed, he died during
its construction

GOVERNMENT
Queen Cleopatra is last in this line
The family of Ptolymy rules over
Alexandria for the next 300 years
Quick Fact: Egypt becomes a Roman providence in 30 B.C.

5. THE PHAROS
The Pharos had a fire that went
on day and night, and the
lighthouse would reflect this
light from the fire from highly
polished bronze which would
brighten the sea, directing
sailors to the harbor safely
The Pharos, named for the island it stood
on, is an ancient wonder of the world

The Royal Quarter contained palaces,
temples, administrative offices and

England and Central Park, NY
