Explanation:

Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in Northern Egypt, on the Mediterranean Coast in 331 BCE. This city became the most important cultural and commercial node of the Mediterranean Sea and the most relevant city of the Hellenistic period, until the rise of the Roman Empire. Alexandria was the main center for the cultural renewal of the Ancient Greek world. The Library of Alexandria was the largest library in the world at that time, philosophers and scientists from diverse regions gathered in that city and worked on different studies in fields like medicine, astronomy, mathematics, literature, art, engineering, among many others. The Pharos of Alexandria was a large lighthouse built to help navigators to arrive at the port of Alexandria, but it was also a symbol of the light of wisdom and knowledge that Alexandria represented for the ancient world.
