EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from ancient history, Alexander the Great, the legendary Macedonian conqueror, is depicted in the act of planning the founding of Alexandria, the magnificent city that would become the jewel of Egypt. The year is 331 BC, and Alexander, clad in armor and holding a staff, gazes intently at the parchment spread out before him. His trusted architect, Dinocrates of Rhodes, stands beside him, holding a large-scale map or plan of the city. Alexandria, named after its founder, was more than just a military conquest for Alexander. It was a cultural and intellectual center, a melting pot of Greek, Egyptian, and other influences. The city was designed with a systematic grid pattern, a novelty in urban planning at the time, which facilitated efficient administration and organization. The streets were named after the Muses and the gods, reflecting the importance of learning and the arts in Alexandria. The image captures the spirit of collaboration and innovation that characterized Alexander's reign. Dinocrates, a renowned architect in his own right, was instrumental in bringing Alexander's vision to life. The city's layout, with its ingenious waterfront engineering and the famous Pharos Lighthouse, was a testament to their collective genius. This photograph, though a modern representation, evokes the grandeur and ambition of ancient Alexandria, a city that continues to captivate our imagination and inspire wonder. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Alexander the Great and the indelible mark he left on history.
