As a result of Alexander's conquest, Greek culture also known as HelleniC culture, was spread to Egypt, India, and Persia. These cultures blended together like a smoothy. SMOOTHIES ARE AWESOME! This blending created what is known as Hellenistic Culture. It spread across all the major cities of the region, which in my opinion is pretty darn cool. Oh yeah, a dialect of greek was used throughout the regions as well, that's pretty swell.
The Egyptian city of Alexandra became the biggest center for commerce and Hellenistic culture. Being located on the wester edge of the Nile delta, it became a center for trade with it's spacious harbors. this trade made the city grow and prosper into something awesome. By the third century BCE, it was an international community, with rich cultures and customs form Egypt and Greece. The diverse population exceeded 500,000 people. THAT'S A LOT! WOAH. WOOOAAAHHH!
Alexandria had some of the finest and most elegant architecture in the world due to its vast wealth and prosperity. It was among the most impressive cities of the ancient times. It sounds like a really cool place. yeahhhhhhhh!
