Egypt crush shadow 7

(6) Alexander

From Cairo to Alexandria's previous night, El guide Dave release forecasts: we note that the "can" rain tomorrow.

Let the children caught in saying this, find the happy, constantly make possible and to two words to use, attention: "now you may get"!

The next day, all the way to predict what have you.

Dry air is rare is the sky spray got wet. Grey mist with roads and fields, a floating dust deposition, serpentine with villages and markets, fog, see flowers, there is a spring is fresh and delicate.

Alexander city is located in the land of sea, named for King Alexander of Macedonia Greece.

In the brilliant 3000 years of Egypt civilization entered its period of time, faced with Libya, Nubian, Assyrian and Persian are successively invaded Egypt. Alexander the great in 332 BC to enter Egypt, defeated the Persians. The establishment of the world's most powerful Empire conquered Egypt by Alexander the great to the ancient Egypt's brilliant civilization while intoxicated, and claim to be the son of the Sun, long lived in Egypt, he will move to the cultural and political centre of the city of Alexandria, the city had the very big development. There is a book that he died in eastern India, others say he never out of Egypt.

Through the years went by, the times and its rise and fall, after Alexander the great after a few generations Inheritors continue to create, develop and improve, the beautiful and famous seaside town not only hosts a wealth of history, witnessed numerous legends and accumulated massive cultural tradition, and fusion of Western civilization and free and open manner, radiating modern city.

Now there are 300 million population is Egypt's largest port and second-largest city.

Because it's long past, the European atmosphere, the coconut flowers decorate the shore landscape unique charm atmosphere make it an "Eastern Mediterranean bride" of praise, with the gender of praise is that she's beautiful and soft with a pure and fresh feeling?

We arrived at the Alexander and sunshine gradually stopped, especially the clear sky.

In a very pleasant climate, our efficient utilization of Alexander time, browse Mubarak Palace park Castle, underground Palace, Pompeii, and ancient columns had a "food", Egypt in the Eastern Mediterranean on the other side of dragonflies, tuanyou can only be the case.

The car on the coastal Avenue, coastal construction is diversified, with European style, Arab, Mediterranean, and I don't know, but I think some are very beautiful.

From time to time to have the church spire, sauteed dome. The famous library of Alexandria is also seen in the car, it was built by the third century BC, is a wonderful initiative. New buildings are now in a pyramid, the gray marble surface etching full of hieroglyphs and various types of relief, the impression was very deep.

Coast Green is good, because it is a weekend, a lot of visitors.

Boating, fishing for leisurely, lovers of manners are very subtle. A young couple with two looks very cute kids in the garden hide-and-seek, MOM hooded, Dad eyes blindfolded, warm and romantic scenes.

Seaside Carter Bay was built in 1840, Castle, this is a Chinese person familiar with the years.

To resist the attack of Turkey, 1882 and British troops destroyed, after repair. The castle was occupied by the seven wonders of the world of the position of the Ross Lighthouse more famous. The old method of Ross Lighthouse according to proposal of Alexander the great, the design, facilities, feature in then are very advanced, water powered screw jack, day and night cycle of light to be reflected by mirrors, 150-metre-high three-tier architecture, making it the buildings in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, you can imagine, when through the storm and the dark sea cruises to see such a beacon, what kind of feeling! later lighthouse was destroyed in the earthquake sank.

Now the castle looks full, firm, section has become a Museum, we in it see fish exhibition.

The castle is surrounded by many hawkers, I bought a resin do embossing, import Division in Beijing, a few help a printed with Golden logo black bags.

Across several markets, we visited Pompeii column, inscription on the pillar is said to have confirmed that they are erected to commemorate the Emperor of Rome, there are 400 root, that may be too spectacular.

Now only two pillars and a complete Sphinx in a small clay mound, there are several end-edge of animals accompany, very cold. Thus one cannot help but think about their hometown, Roman Pompeii city, there is also a place where I want to see.

Alexander's underground Palace is the result of a donkey fall going down well and accidental discovery of Egypt, is presently found in the largest Roman tombs, 1800 years ago, are status, wealthy Romans family cemetery.

There is only one of our visitors are not allowed to take photographs to dial.

We along the middle of a circle of deep well of a spiral stone staircase to go with it. Then from the side of the cave entrance into the underground Palace. Although the Romans ruled Egypt, but from the tomb of carved stone, emboss, graves can be seen in their way or do as the Romans do. Especially the main Tomb by with Fox Wolf head of Anuruddha Bissell God and Roman soldiers guarded by a common, bosses on the stone head pattern and a Romanesque, door there is nude statue. A ring side room, very complex structure like a big apartment. Innermost coffin points are presented in the second and third floor of the building, very intensive.

The guide said here fit Center with more than 300 sites, some are ordinary people around the ex-post your own "ride" in, it seems, it also has the excuse me, rub the Tomb.

By the way, in AlexandriaSee a.d. 1000 years of things, as we saw in Egypt is the youngest of heritage.

How to Alexander, also the inquire after Egypt gaudily.

Creole Petra is Greece descent, so some say she is fake Egypt. In the movie the story of Elizabeth Taylor played for countless audiences were amazed at her 倾国倾城 beauty, she and two generations of the rulers of Rome, erotica is more ambiguous, as the television program points. About her beauty, many people in the negative. But it is said that Egypt who is her as a woman politician and diplomat. 70-BC in Egypt--a 30-year history, she is writing a few pens a Queen, is to defeat his enemies, the deal between the Roman ruler, master man, dominate the community, politicians, the ring and the energy can be imagined, "value" of the extraordinary. The power of this woman's historical record, good and evil acts of evaluation is not an ordinary man on to raise the child's sujia people woman, certainly not simplistic. Single said she committed suicide with a serpent end is enough heroic, play, but unfortunately we had no chance to go to Greece and Rome museums have witnessed her portraits and statues, didn't go to the summer here. Human life is wrong to have too many things, the famous statue of brilliant also after.

Have lunch in Alexandria, just before the encounter people in worship, Christians have no place in the Church, the squeeze out there on the sidewalk, this did not prevent them from being absorbed.

This moment may the whole city of men in prayer. See what they look like I'm reverent touched, really, to admire their own convictions so seriously, envy them the spirit of the place and the soul of sustenance, envious heart has its own worship of the divine. The letter is honest, the spirit. Feeling a certain very full, practical! although don't know why they pray, but I have the spirit of worship in the people have a way honorific, see them, see the city now calm and quiet side. Perhaps see too many people, the desire for expanded too fast, in addition to worship the King, the other is lost, the social imbalance, heart-breaking at ease.
