Eastern Mediterranean city of Alexandria, the weather is fickle, we experienced a sunny day, cloudy, rainy, windy. Despite the cold, hair blowing is no image, but can feel so much a day, and also the nature of love. Let me briefly in one day, a busy, but with style. Alexandria was founded in 332 BC, the year is the founder of Alexander the great named, as was the Macedonian empire Egypt provinces of Governor. Historian Alice Ann said that Alexander the great when you want to draw the next city planning is no chalk on hand, so he with the grain to plan the overall situation of the city. Alexander's astrological Warlock will it be deemed to be the city will like the grain as bustling omen. Other authors are said in the end there is a group of birds flying these grains eaten, and the story as she became Alexandria Egypt food exports, as ancient Greece and ancient Rome's most important food supply to sign.After the death of Alexander the great, the Governor of Ptolemaic Egypt here has established the Ptolemy dynasty.
Alexander became the capital of the Kingdom of Egypt, and quickly became a culture of ancient Greece's largest city. In the ancient history of the West in its size and wealth is second only to Rome. But the Islamic rulers of Egypt in Cairo-Egypt has laid a new capital city of Alexandria's status after falling.The first stop of the tour: Pompeii God column.
Pompeii column 25 meters high God, made from Aswan granite. Alone a pole DIN in the world, a kind of sad, there is massive in the wind, cloud, a station on the 1700 years. If you can travel through time, like Pompeii and God-this high post there are over 400 root. It is spectacular. Now only this post here a quiet, lonely stands. It's a sad feeling.(Pompeii God column)
From Pompeii God column, we went to a restaurant next to the Eastern Mediterranean seafood restaurant to enjoy a good meal, Egypt flavor and profound Chinese culture than I think I should have a place like Chinese food diet can into full play.
I only find interesting is the Arab scones with sesame paste. After lunch, we visit the Carter-Fort. Speaking of Carter-fortress, might we not familiar with, but said the seven wonders of the world ranked seventh in the Alexandria Lighthouse should everyone. Alexandria Lighthouse day be reflected sunlight reflected Moonlight at night. Miracle Lighthouse has disappeared in the history of the chapter. Carter, the fortress was built on the ruins of the lighthouse, the lighthouse residual stones used in the construction of a medieval castle.(Carter-Fort)
Unfortunately we go on the same day, the castle is open, do not enter into it and see. It was raining, the sky is overcast, Eastern Mediterranean circling around numerous seagulls, medieval essence of brave warriors, which is still guarded this land. The wind is big, think people are going to be blown into the air, we get on to continue his journey — Alexandria Library. Alexandria Library and is famous for its lighthouse, but are not seen. Fate, but hate themselves cannot incarnate ancient Egypt to witness the great miracles yichuchu. Alexander book is man's early history's greatest library: ancient Greece 9 century b.c. poet Homer's all contributed poems, for the first time in the Library copy and translation into Latin; possession including the geometric originally on ancient Greece mathematician Euclid's many authentic originals; back in BC 270 years raises Copernicus Sun and Earth theory of ancient Greece astronomers Aristophanes on the heliocentric theory works; ancient Greece three tragic writers of manuscript authentic; ancient Greece physicians, there is the founder of Western medicine, Hippocrates of authories manuscripts; first Greece man's in the Bible, Old Testament translation of the five canons of Moses; there is also a contribution to medical science of ancient Greece philosophy scientists and scholars to Aristotle Archimedes, and so are your fans remain the copyright. In addition, at the time of ancient Egypt and the Ptolemaic period many of philosophy, poetry, literature, medicine, religion, ethics and other sciences are a large number of publications in the collection. Alexandria Library destroyed, has been called "the history of human culture a catastrophe". Now we see the Government's reconstruction of the Alexandria Library, unfortunately. Alexander last spots, the Montaza Royal Palace Gardens. 1952 years ago, it was the Royal family's summer resort, also known as a summer resort. The guesthouse is now Egypt. Entertaining foreign heads of State.(Montaza Palace Garden)
According to Ali said before the King built a summer resort, because King lustful, every room lived a beautiful women, daily changing cubicles, erosion, Ah, huh, huh. The King of the world which are the same, the Temple of numerous. Summer Palace many stray cats, we feed them to eat Chinese food are rejected, the smell is not that, then take a local cake feed them eat, hyper-popular. Cake is delicious, Ali guests, is the best, but is very sweet, Egypt people mad love to eat sweets, no wonder they build are relatively mellow. Egypt's stray cats are very tall, eat so many sweets are not fat is really good. May be a bad weather, many crows, never seen such a big Crow, a kitten. A flock of flying over waiting cats eat leftover, want to share a cup of sweet soup. To end a day of running around, plus one day before the plane fatigue, exhaustion of two days, all the way back to Cairo's car and fell asleep. Night accommodation in Triumph to Cairo, 5-star Hotel, because the occupancy rate is very high, our mission to aberration in two standard rooms, I and my mother was very lucky in minutes to a suite. Finally lying in bed feeling really comfortable on a minute to just sleep, woke up the next morning is already the second call. Egypt's most gorgeous day was about to begin soon.
