Talk:History of Alexandria

incomplete
Gibbon credits the desolation of the Brucheum to the 12 year civil war in Alexandria about the time of Gallienus, at any rate, right before Claudius II. If that's wrong, at least discuss the various authorities. 108.45.122.74 (talk) 20:31, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Abbasid
I'm pretty sure the Abbasid caliphate should be mentioned here somewhere..

The Article is Totally Incorrect.
The most famous underwater city in the world? Alexandria.

The most famous thing about Alexandria? It's underwater.

Both of these are missing from this article -- which seems to me very peculiar.

This article seems to deal with a modern-day town of no particular importance, located somewhere in the neighborhood of the historically important city which is now underwater -- but I may be wrong. I came here looking for facts about what I thought I had heard. Fail.

''Long lost Alexandria has just as many legends and mysteries spun around it as Atlantis, but this one is real. And it has been found. And there are two sunken cities for the price of one. Alexandria’s remains lie literally a few feet off the coast, while Thonis-Heracleion rests a little farther off the coast of today’s Alexandria. Both spectacularly well-preserved, considering the ruins are more than 2,000 years old and littered with various shipwrecks, dropped anchors, even lost—and found—gold treasures. Temples and buildings of Thonis-Heracleion were once separated by canals, not unlike Venice, but how and why exactly the city became submerged is still a mystery.

While Thonis-Heracleion is still only accessible for scuba divers, Alexandria’s ruins will hopefully soon be on view via the proposed Underwater Archeological Museum of Alexandria.''
