History books have long spoken of Alexander the Great, an ambitious soul who dreamt of conquering the whole world. Along with his conquests, he also founded the ancient Egyptian town of Alexandria in 331 BC to link Greece with the rich Nile valley. The Mediterranean Port City nestled away in Egypt, is home to some of the most alluring marvels, exhibiting modern day constructions. Today, the best-known ancient monument still standing in Alexandria is ' Pompey' s Pillar' . Scientists find it difficult to understand how the 400-tonne monolithic figure was created. A short distance southwest of the pillar is Alexandria's catacombs, also known as Kom al-Shoqafa, which was accidentally discovered in 1900. Here, a large spiral staircase leads to a multiple level labyrinth which features dozens of chambers adorned with Romano-Egyptian religious symbols like sculpted pillars, statues, and burial niches. There is also a beautiful banquet hall that glorifies the ancient aura of this paradise. Presently, many artifacts are being discovered in the surrounding sea that makes for great tourist attractions in Alexandria, famously, the At Kom al-Dikka, a well-preserved theater has been found that help unravel the mystical past of the city.
