| | An Introduction to the Ancient Monumental Tombs Of Alexandria, Egypt (Part I) |
| | Architecturally, the monumental private tombs of Alexandria have no identifiable forerunners in the Hellenic world, despite the fact that the city was so very Greek. | | | Beneath the sea on Alexandria's coast lies an impressive array of antiquities, some perhaps tossed there to block the waters from attack, but probably most toppled into the sea by massive earthquakes that plagued the area for many hundreds of years. | | | This is not to say that there has not been, for many years, excavations and scholarly work undertaken in Alexandria, but we can pinpoint almost precisely Alexandria's renewed interest to the underwater excavations during the 1990s (which continue today). |
