	Ancient Alexandria
		From its very beginning, Alexandria was destined to perform several functions : as a Greek city-state (polis), as the capital of Egypt, as a centre for world trade and as a centre of learning.
		The position of Alexandria as the centre of world trade, not only attracted foreign merchants and businessmen to set up their offices in the city, but also encouraged the formation of international companies to manage the more complicated and more costly transactions.
		Our ultimate aim and driving incentive is to establish in modern Alexandria an institution capable of creating a tradition of serious scholarship motivated by a spirit of the scientific humanism that guided a number of the great scholars of ancient Alexandria.

	EARLY WORLD CITIES
		Another significant contribution is provided by figures for the two major Indus Valley cities, Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, that are thought to have attained, at their peak, the 20,000 to 40,000 range (Allchin 1975:341; Hamblin 1977:145; Whitehouse 1983).
		That great country did have temples, palaces, and cemeteries, often of monumental proportions, as early as the fourth and third millennia but its capitals seem to have lacked remarkable size, and have left little evidence either of intellectual life, or of commercial activity in particular (given the crown's monopoly of power, and of foreign trade).
		Recent research (reported in Paropla 1994:6-25) has shown this Indus Valley city to have reached its mature stage at about -2500, with a population that is put at some 40,000.

		Many eponymous towns remained: Alexandrias, Alexandropolises and other Alexvilles dotted the landscape of this odd cosmopolitan mish-mash he had conquered.
		Whatever dreams he might have had of some kind of merging of Greek and Persian cultures died shortly after he did, with the Macedonians and Greeks edging the Persians into less powerful positions -- although there were Greek Diadochoi (Eumenes in particular) none of the Diadochoi were Persian.
