I think the information posted should be based on facts and not fiction. Alexander the Great was not the "Founder" of Alexandria, Egypt. How can you "found" or "Discover" a person, place or thing that already exists? American and other children read these posting seeking true knowledge.

The history of Rakhotis dates back 700 years before the Greeks arrival. To them, it was Ra-aa-qedet (Rakhotis) which meant the city which Ra blesses/presides over, or “the place of building”. It was known by that name until the end of the Byzantine Era. It is said that Rakhotis was not a “small fishermen village” as some have described it. Instead, it is believed – based on radioactive carbon-dating – that it was founded about 700 years prior to Alexander's city and was a rather large city comprising twelve villages to the city's re, by Alexander the Great, in 331 BC. Yet, before that, there were some big port cities just east of Alexandria, at the western edge of what is now Abu Qir Bay. The Canopic (westernmost) branch of the Nile Delta still existed at that time, and was widely used for shipping.

This is documented fact.
