The lecture sheds light on the city of Alexandria as the most important city in the whole ancient world; it was the capital and the beacon of science and culture which embraced artists and scholars from all over the ancient world. That city which was planned and organized in Greek style, and it contained all the necessary buildings for any Greek city, some of which remained and some disappeared. So did everything that disappeared drown under its sea?! Or what happened to it?! Some of its old buildings are a group of important funerary buildings that refer to the city's social mixture, in addition to its importance in the history of art and architecture in the ancient world.
