'''Alexandria''' is a city on the [[Egypt|Egyptian]] coast of the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. Founded in [[330 BC]] by [[Alexander the Great]], it became well known in ancient times for its repository of knowledge, known as the [[Royal Library of Alexandria]].<ref name=":0">''[[Indiana Jones and the Pyramid of the Sorcerer]]''</ref>

The [[Pharos at Alexandria]] was contructed around [[270 BC]] by [[Sostratos]] and became one of the [[Seven Wonders of the Ancient World]] in the sixth century (AD) before falling into ruination by the 15th century.<ref name="WIJ">''[[The World of Indiana Jones]]''</ref>

==Adventures in Alexandria==
In [[1908]], the Joneses traveled through Alexandria on [[Henry Walton Jones, Sr.|Professor Jones']] [[world lecture tour]] while touring Egypt.<ref name="CJFA">{{YIJC|Young Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Jackal}} {{Edited Into}} ''[[My First Adventure]]''</ref>

[[Indiana Jones]] later returned to the city with [[Remy Baudouin]] in [[1919]] while chasing the [[Peacock's Eye]] diamond of [[Alexander the Great]].<ref>{{YIJC|Young Indiana Jones and the Treasure of the Peacock's Eye}} {{Edited Into}} ''[[Young Indiana Jones and the Treasure of the Peacock's Eye|Treasure of the Peacock's Eye]]''</ref>

In [[1941]], when debating over the existence of the [[Akashic Hall of Records]], [[Musgrove]] mentioned that history books did not cover when or how the Royal Library was destroyed, but Jones countered that at least Alexandria was known to be a real place, with a documented history.<ref name=":0" />
