When suddenly, at midnight, you hear
an invisible procession going by
with exquisite music, voices,
don't mourn your luck that's failing now,
your work that failed, your life's plans
all proving deceptive—don't mourn them uselessly.
As one long prepared, and graced with courage,
say goodbye to her, the Alexandria that is leaving.
Constantine Cavafy [1863-1933]
..Cosmopolitan Alexandria is a term that is usually applied for a period in the history of the Egyptian city of alexandria lasting from [1860 -1961]. Large numbers of Greeks, Italians, French, English,Maltese, Armenians, Lebanese, Syrians,Turks,Bulgarians,Jews ,etc,lived in harmony within each other and with the local people . . In the featured video,I will present a collection of photos,mainly of notable people and social life from the vanished cosmopolitan era of Alexandria
The cosmopolitan era of Alexandria inspired the talent of many poets,writers and historians.Among these were the Greek Alexandrian poet Constantine Cavafy[1863-1933],the Britons E. M. Forster [1879-1970] , Lawrence Durrell [1912-1990] and the current Michael Haag.
Forster wrote- Alexandria: A History and Guide (1922)
Pharos and Pharillon (1923).
Lawrence Durrell was famous for his [Alexandria Quartet]. The Alexandria Quartet is a tetralogy of novels, published between 1957 and 1960., the books present four perspectives on a single set of events and characters in Alexandria,Egypt, before and during World War II.
Michael Haag is a writer, historian and photographer. He has written for major newspapers and magazines in Britain and America, and he has broadcast for the BBC. He lives in London, England.He authored several books on Alexandria as

3.Anna Bajocchi leans on her balcony over Rue Fuad and looks at the city below It's 1952,. In the Alexandria of the imagination, she resembles Clea Badaro, the artist who becomes Clea Montis in the Quartet. The caption traces Anna's lineage back to "an Italian doctor in the service of Muhammad Ali and Ibrahim Pasha."
4. A photograph from Vintage Alexandria shows Eve Cohen at the Scottish Girls School, Alexandria. Eve later became Lawrence Durrell's second wife and a model for Justine in the Alexandria Quartet
5.Other photographs feature some places in Alexandria dating from the late 19th century till the late 1950 s

While discussing about Alexandria's past, Marcos (marcoscassiotis) suggested me to offer our Youtube friends (Greek and other) an all-inclusive slideshow to better visualize the wonderful Greek song about Alexandria; written by Aris Davarakis, an Alexandrian Greek, the lyrics truly reflect Alexandria's exotic atmosphere. We made a list of places and monuments and Marcos wrote the annotated itinerary that will be a brief guide for those who never visited the fascinating city -- legend.

The Hidden Library Of Alexandria - Ancient Mystery Documentaries
The Royal Library of Alexandria, or Old Collection of Alexandria, in Alexandria, Egypt, was among the biggest as well as most significant collections of the old globe. It was committed to the Muses, the nine sirens of the fine arts. It thrived under the patronage of the Ptolemaic empire and worked as a significant facility of scholarship from its construction in the 3rd century BC till the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 BC. With collections of jobs, lecture halls, meeting rooms, and also yards, the collection belonged to a larger study organization called the Musaeum of Alexandria, where many of the most famous thinkers of the old globe studied.
The library was created by Ptolemy I Soter, that was a Macedonian basic and the follower of Alexander the Great. Most of guides were kept as papyrus scrolls, as well as though it is unknown the amount of such scrolls were housed at any offered time, their integrated worth was incalculable.
The collection is popular for having actually been burned, resulting in the loss of many scrolls and books, and has actually become a sign of the destruction of social expertise. When it happened, a few sources differ on who is responsible for the devastation and. There is a folklore of the burning of the Collection at Alexandria, the collection may have experienced many fires or acts of devastation over numerous years. Feasible occasions for the partial or complete destruction of the Collection of Alexandria include a fire set by Julius Caesar in 48 BC, a strike by Aurelian in the AD 270s, and the decree of Coptic Pope Theophilus in ADVERTISEMENT 391.

Cosmopolitan Alexandria is a term that is usually applied for a period in the history of the Egyptian city of alexandria lasting from [1860 -1961]. Large numbers of Greeks, Italians, French, English,Maltese, Armenians, Lebanese, Syrians,Turks,Bulgarians,Jews ,etc,lived in harmony within each other and with the local people . Sadly enough,the cosmopolitan nature of the city was abruptly put to an end when the Egyptian presedent Nasser issued the socialist laws of 1961,followed by the planned Arabinization of the names of streets and districts of the city.Most European communities left Alexandria except for a still existing very small Greek community and a slightly larger Armenian community
The decline in the cosmopolitan nature of Alexandria,although more profound in the year 1961 which witnessed the mass exodus of most non Hellenic communities,the Hellenic [Greek ] presence in Alexandria was still prominent and visible till at least the year 1975.
European influence on the city can be still seen in Alexandria after 50 years from the end of the cosmopolitan era of the city.In the following,I will try to show some landmarks of this era of the history of Alexandria.I am a still living witness to this era and hope that I can do something to preserve these memories for history and newer generations .The sequence of the presented photos are as follows:
1. An old building with a carved writing [Banque Emperiale Ottomane].

6. Evangelsmos Greek church In the heart of Alexandria, at Mansheia near Saint Catherine Square .This is the main church of the Greek Orthodhox Patriarchate.

Please watch..KJV the Mason Bible!
http://goanimate.com/videos/0skGQDLHw6hk
Nothing was omitted out of the modern translations, some words and verses were not included in the original much older Greek manuscripts, the modern translations are based on.
There are many words and even whole verses that are not in the oldest manuscripts or the majority of the manuscripts but are included in the KJV text. In the modern Bible versions these verses are usually included with a simple note pointing out that they are not in the oldest known manuscripts.
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. 1 Deuteronomy 4:2
When it says we must deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him in three Gospels but the phrase "take up your cross" is missing from the fourth Gospel it is unlikely someone reading is going to come to the conclusion that we don't need to take up our cross.
Fact remains that all modern translations teach that Yahshua/Jesus is God, that we must believe in Him, and turn from our sins. millions of people own a bible yet they live contrary to the teachings in it, as though God and His will for mankind did not matter, or even exist. Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are they that DO HIS COMMANDMENTS".
There is the fact that false doctrine laces the KJV by the inaccurate translation of certain words from Hebrew and Greek to English. For example the Hebrew word Asherah is translated as grove in the KJV. Then in Acts..Asherah appears under the name of Easter, a pagan goddess condemned in the bible. The message of the KJV is veiled, and misleading.
Erasmus was a typical Roman period occultist. Despite his personal sins, the Spirit maintains the word throughout history.
In the 17th century, King James translators worked from the Erasmus Greek text of the New Testament. Erasmus had six Greek manuscripts from which to work. NIV translators work from more than 5,000 complete or partial manuscripts and papyri.

Professor Emeritus Hinrich Biesterfeldt
From Alexandria to Baghdad: The Reception of Hellenistic Knowledge in Classical Islam
With the beginning of the Arab Dynasty of the Abbasids and the foundation of their capital, Baghdad (762 CE), an unprecedented transfer of Hellenistic scholarship from the schools of Alexandria to the court and the cultural elite of Baghdad took place. By the end of the tenth century, almost all scientific and philosophical Greek works that formed the canon of Alexandrian scholarship, including medicine, physics, mathematics, musical theory, astrology, alchemy, and philosophy, had been translated into Arabic.
The lecture will explore the motives and roles of the groups participating in this transfer—the translators and the politicians and scholars benefitting from the translations—and trace the legacy of that campaign in Arabic philology and Islamic scholarship.

"Alexandria still": Returning to the Cavafian Alexandria
Cycle C.P. Cavafy
Wednesday 15 April 2015 19:00 Upper Stage
"Alexandria still": Returning to the Cavafian Alexandria sets out both to explore Alexandria’s unique place in the history and literary history of Europe and the Middle East, and to ask questions about its construction as a paradigm and a capital of cosmopolitanism. The discussion will centre on how Alexandria’s image -as it may be construed by readers of Cavafy, Forster and Durrell- is imbued with and profoundly influenced by Eurocentric ideas about and perceptions of the Middle East: the real Alexandria is a multi-dimensional, intercultural mosaic of a city.
At the event, Hala Halim, author of Alexandrian Cosmopolitanism: An Archive, will discuss Alexandria as a paradigm of cosmopolitanism with Alexander Kazamias, Senior Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Coventry in the UK. The discussion will be chaired by Dimitris Papanikolaou, Associate Professor in Modern Greek Studies and Fellow of St. Cross College, Oxford.
Academic Advisor: Anastasios-Ioannis D. Metaxas
Designer of Ιnitiatives of the Archive: Afroditi Panagiotakou
Scholarly Advisor: Dimitris Papanikolaou
Project Manager: Theodoros Chiotis
Entrance to all the events in the “Talks and Thoughts” Cycle is free and on a first come, first served basis.
The distribution of entrance tickets begins one (1) hour before each event.
Simultaneous translation is provided in the case of speakers using a language other than Greek.

Alexander the Great
Alexander III of Macedon (20/21 July 356 BC – 10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great (Greek: Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ Μέγας, Aléxandros ho Mégas [a.lék.san.dros ho mé.gas], from the Greek ἀλέξω (alexō) "defend" and ἀνδρ- (andr-), the stem of ἀνήρ (anēr) "man" and means "protector of men"), was a King (Basileus) of the Ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon and a member of the Argead dynasty, an ancient Greek royal house. Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander succeeded his father, Philip II, to the throne at the age of twenty. He spent most of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign through Asia and northeast Africa, and by the age of thirty he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to Egypt into northwest India and modern-day Pakistan. He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered one of history's most successful military commanders.
During his youth, Alexander was tutored by the philosopher Aristotle until the age of 16. After Philip's assassination in 336 BC, Alexander succeeded his father to the throne and inherited a strong kingdom and an experienced army. Alexander was awarded the generalship of Greece and used this authority to launch his father's Panhellenic project to lead the Greeks in the conquest of Persia. In 334 BC, he invaded the Achaemenid Empire, ruled Asia Minor, and began a series of campaigns that lasted ten years. Alexander broke the power of Persia in a series of decisive battles, most notably the battles of Issus and Gaugamela. He subsequently overthrew the Persian King Darius III and conquered the Achaemenid Empire in its entirety. At that point, his empire stretched from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River.

While discussing about Alexandria's past, Marcos (marcoscassiotis) suggested me to offer our Youtube friends (Greek and other) an all-inclusive slideshow to better visualize the wonderful Greek song about Alexandria; written by Aris Davarakis, an Alexandrian Greek, the lyrics truly reflect Alexandria's exotic atmosphere.

The Hidden Library Of Alexandria - Ancient Mystery Documentaries The Royal Library of Alexandria, or Old Collection of Alexandria, in Alexandria, Egypt, was among the biggest as well as most significant collections of the old globe. It was committed to the Muses, the nine sirens of the fine arts. It thrived under the patronage of the Ptolemaic empire and worked as a significant facility of scholarship from its construction in the 3rd century BC till the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 BC. With collections of jobs, lecture halls, meeting rooms, and also yards, the collection belonged to a larger study organization called the Musaeum of Alexandria, where many of the most famous thinkers of the old globe studied. The library was created by Ptolemy I Soter, that was a Macedonian basic and the follower of Alexander the Great. Most of guides were kept as papyrus scrolls, as well as though it is unknown the amount of such scrolls were housed at any offered time, their integrated worth was incalculable. The collection is popular for having actually been burned, resulting in the loss of many scrolls and books, and has actually become a sign of the destruction of social expertise. When it happened, a few sources differ on who is responsible for the devastation and. There is a folklore of the burning of the Collection at Alexandria, the collection may have experienced many fires or acts of devastation over numerous years. Feasible occasions for the partial or complete destruction of the Collection of Alexandria include a fire set by Julius Caesar in 48 BC, a strike by Aurelian in the AD 270s, and the decree of Coptic Pope Theophilus in ADVERTISEMENT 391.

5:54Nostalgic Glimpses from Cosmopolitan Alexandria
Nostalgic Glimpses from Cosmopolitan AlexandriaNostalgic Glimpses from Cosmopolitan Alexandria
Cosmopolitan Alexandria is a term that is usually applied for a period in the history of the Egyptian city of alexandria lasting from [1860 -1961]. Large numbers of Greeks, Italians, French, English,Maltese, Armenians, Lebanese, Syrians,Turks,Bulgarians,Jews ,etc,lived in harmony within each other and with the local people . Sadly enough,the cosmopolitan nature of the city was abruptly put to an end when the Egyptian presedent Nasser issued the socialist laws of 1961,followed by the planned Arabinization of the names of streets and districts of the city.Most European communities left Alexandria except for a still existing very small Greek community and a slightly larger Armenian community The decline in the cosmopolitan nature of Alexandria,although more profound in the year 1961 which witnessed the mass exodus of most non Hellenic communities,the Hellenic [Greek ] presence in Alexandria was still prominent and visible till at least the year 1975. European influence on the city can be still seen in Alexandria after 50 years from the end of the cosmopolitan era of the city.In the following,I will try to show some landmarks of this era of the history of Alexandria.I am a still living witness to this era and hope that I can do something to preserve these memories for history and newer generations .The sequence of the presented photos are as follows: 1. An old building with a carved writing [Banque Emperiale Ottomane]. 2.Italian geriatric house at Chatby [3 photos] 3.

Evangelsmos Greek church In the heart of Alexandria, at Mansheia near Saint Catherine Square .This is the main church of the Greek Orthodhox Patriarchate.

2:05Alexandrian Text
Alexandrian TextAlexandrian Text
Please watch..KJV the Mason Bible! http://goanimate.com/videos/0skGQDLHw6hk Nothing was omitted out of the modern translations, some words and verses were not included in the original much older Greek manuscripts, the modern translations are based on. There are many words and even whole verses that are not in the oldest manuscripts or the majority of the manuscripts but are included in the KJV text. In the modern Bible versions these verses are usually included with a simple note pointing out that they are not in the oldest known manuscripts. Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. 1 Deuteronomy 4:2 When it says we must deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him in three Gospels but the phrase "take up your cross" is missing from the fourth Gospel it is unlikely someone reading is going to come to the conclusion that we don't need to take up our cross. Fact remains that all modern translations teach that Yahshua/Jesus is God, that we must believe in Him, and turn from our sins. millions of people own a bible yet they live contrary to the teachings in it, as though God and His will for mankind did not matter, or even exist. Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are they that DO HIS COMMANDMENTS". There is the fact that false doctrine laces the KJV by the inaccurate translation of certain words from Hebrew and Greek to English. For example the Hebrew word Asherah is translated as grove in the KJV. Then in Acts..Asherah appears under the name of Easter, a pagan goddess condemned in the bible. The message of the KJV is veiled, and misleading. Erasmus was a typical Roman period occultist. Despite his personal sins, the Spirit maintains the word throughout history. In the 17th century, King James translators worked from the Erasmus Greek text of the New Testament. Erasmus had six Greek manuscripts from which to work. NIV translators work from more than 5,000 complete or partial manuscripts and papyri. -

"Alexandria still": Returning to the Cavafian Alexandria Cycle C.P. Cavafy Wednesday 15 April 2015 19:00 Upper Stage "Alexandria still": Returning to the Cavafian Alexandria sets out both to explore Alexandria’s unique place in the history and literary history of Europe and the Middle East, and to ask questions about its construction as a paradigm and a capital of cosmopolitanism. The discussion will centre on how Alexandria’s image -as it may be construed by readers of Cavafy, Forster and Durrell- is imbued with and profoundly influenced by Eurocentric ideas about and perceptions of the Middle East: the real Alexandria is a multi-dimensional, intercultural mosaic of a city. At the event, Hala Halim, author of Alexandrian Cosmopolitanism: An Archive, will discuss Alexandria as a paradigm of cosmopolitanism with Alexander Kazamias, Senior Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Coventry in the UK. The discussion will be chaired by Dimitris Papanikolaou, Associate Professor in Modern Greek Studies and Fellow of St. Cross College, Oxford. Academic Advisor: Anastasios-Ioannis D.

Constantine Cavafy [1863-1933]
..Cosmopolitan Alexandria is a term that is usually applied for a period in the history of the Egyptian city of alexandria lasting from [1860 -1961]. Large numbers of Greeks, Italians, French, English,Maltese, Armenians, Lebanese, Syrians,Turks,Bulgarians,Jews ,etc,lived in harmony within each other and with the local people . . In the featured video,I will present a collection of photos,mainly of notable people and social life from the vanished cosmopolitan era of Alexandria
The cosmopolitan era of Alexandria inspired the talent of many poets,writers and historians.Among these were the Greek Alexandrian poet Constantine Cavafy[1863-1933],the Britons E. M. Forster [1879-1970] , Lawrence Durrell [1912-1990] and the current Michael Haag.
Forster wrote- Alexandria: A History and Guide (1922)
Pharos and Pharillon (1923).
Lawrence Durrell was famous for his [Alexandria Quartet]. The Alexandria Quartet is a tetralogy of novels, published between 1957 and 1960., the books present four perspectives on a single set of events and characters in Alexandria,Egypt, before and during World War II.
Michael Haag is a writer, historian and photographer. He has written for major newspapers and magazines in Britain and America, and he has broadcast for the BBC. He lives in London, England.He authored several books on Alexandria as
1.Alexandria: City of Memory 2004
2.Vintage Alexandria: 2008
Photographs of the City 1860-1960
From the more than 200 photos presented by Haag in [Vintage Alexandria].I chose some,among which are:
.Photograph of Rose de Menasce, She was married to Baron Edmund de Menasce, a cousin of Baron Felix de Menasce, both members of a prominent Jewish family of the Alexandrian society. She was a friend of Cavafy and Durrell
The legend tells us Rose is attending an event at the Sporting Club in 1914
Another photo shows her at the beach about 1928
2.Haag's farewell to Cosmopolitan Alexandria is represented by a photograph of wealthy Greeks celebrating the end of 1957.
3.Anna Bajocchi leans on her balcony over Rue Fuad and looks at the city below It's 1952,. In the Alexandria of the imagination, she resembles Clea Badaro, the artist who becomes Clea Montis in the Quartet. The caption traces Anna's lineage back to "an Italian doctor in the service of Muhammad Ali and Ibrahim Pasha."
4. A photograph from Vintage Alexandria shows Eve Cohen at the Scottish Girls School, Alexandria. Eve later became Lawrence Durrell's second wife and a model for Justine in the Alexandria Quartet

wn.com/Scenes And Social Life From The Cosmopolitan Era Of Alexandria
When suddenly, at midnight, you hear
an invisible procession going by
with exquisite music, voices,
don't mourn your luck that's failing now,
your work that failed, your life's plans
all proving deceptive—don't mourn them uselessly.
As one long prepared, and graced with courage,
say goodbye to her, the Alexandria that is leaving.
Constantine Cavafy [1863-1933]
..Cosmopolitan Alexandria is a term that is usually applied for a period in the history of the Egyptian city of alexandria lasting from [1860 -1961]. Large numbers of Greeks, Italians, French, English,Maltese, Armenians, Lebanese, Syrians,Turks,Bulgarians,Jews ,etc,lived in harmony within each other and with the local people . . In the featured video,I will present a collection of photos,mainly of notable people and social life from the vanished cosmopolitan era of Alexandria
The cosmopolitan era of Alexandria inspired the talent of many poets,writers and historians.Among these were the Greek Alexandrian poet Constantine Cavafy[1863-1933],the Britons E. M. Forster [1879-1970] , Lawrence Durrell [1912-1990] and the current Michael Haag.
Forster wrote- Alexandria: A History and Guide (1922)
Pharos and Pharillon (1923).
Lawrence Durrell was famous for his [Alexandria Quartet]. The Alexandria Quartet is a tetralogy of novels, published between 1957 and 1960., the books present four perspectives on a single set of events and characters in Alexandria,Egypt, before and during World War II.
Michael Haag is a writer, historian and photographer. He has written for major newspapers and magazines in Britain and America, and he has broadcast for the BBC. He lives in London, England.He authored several books on Alexandria as
1.Alexandria: City of Memory 2004
2.Vintage Alexandria: 2008
Photographs of the City 1860-1960
From the more than 200 photos presented by Haag in [Vintage Alexandria].I chose some,among which are:
.Photograph of Rose de Menasce, She was married to Baron Edmund de Menasce, a cousin of Baron Felix de Menasce, both members of a prominent Jewish family of the Alexandrian society. She was a friend of Cavafy and Durrell
The legend tells us Rose is attending an event at the Sporting Club in 1914
Another photo shows her at the beach about 1928
2.Haag's farewell to Cosmopolitan Alexandria is represented by a photograph of wealthy Greeks celebrating the end of 1957.
3.Anna Bajocchi leans on her balcony over Rue Fuad and looks at the city below It's 1952,. In the Alexandria of the imagination, she resembles Clea Badaro, the artist who becomes Clea Montis in the Quartet. The caption traces Anna's lineage back to "an Italian doctor in the service of Muhammad Ali and Ibrahim Pasha."
4. A photograph from Vintage Alexandria shows Eve Cohen at the Scottish Girls School, Alexandria. Eve later became Lawrence Durrell's second wife and a model for Justine in the Alexandria Quartet

While discussing about Alexandria's past, Marcos (marcoscassiotis) suggested me to offer our Youtube friends (Greek and other) an all-inclusive slideshow to better visualize the wonderful Greek song about Alexandria; written by Aris Davarakis, an Alexandrian Greek, the lyrics truly reflect Alexandria's exotic atmosphere. We made a list of places and monuments and Marcos wrote the annotated itinerary that will be a brief guide for those who never visited the fascinating city -- legend.

The Hidden Library Of Alexandria - Ancient Mystery Documentaries
The Royal Library of Alexandria, or Old Collection of Alexandria, in Alexandria, Egypt, was among the biggest as well as most significant collections of the old globe. It was committed to the Muses, the nine sirens of the fine arts. It thrived under the patronage of the Ptolemaic empire and worked as a significant facility of scholarship from its construction in the 3rd century BC till the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 BC. With collections of jobs, lecture halls, meeting rooms, and also yards, the collection belonged to a larger study organization called the Musaeum of Alexandria, where many of the most famous thinkers of the old globe studied.
The library was created by Ptolemy I Soter, that was a Macedonian basic and the follower of Alexander the Great. Most of guides were kept as papyrus scrolls, as well as though it is unknown the amount of such scrolls were housed at any offered time, their integrated worth was incalculable.
The collection is popular for having actually been burned, resulting in the loss of many scrolls and books, and has actually become a sign of the destruction of social expertise. When it happened, a few sources differ on who is responsible for the devastation and. There is a folklore of the burning of the Collection at Alexandria, the collection may have experienced many fires or acts of devastation over numerous years. Feasible occasions for the partial or complete destruction of the Collection of Alexandria include a fire set by Julius Caesar in 48 BC, a strike by Aurelian in the AD 270s, and the decree of Coptic Pope Theophilus in ADVERTISEMENT 391.

Cosmopolitan Alexandria is a term that is usually applied for a period in the history of the Egyptian city of alexandria lasting from [1860 -1961]. Large numbers of Greeks, Italians, French, English,Maltese, Armenians, Lebanese, Syrians,Turks,Bulgarians,Jews ,etc,lived in harmony within each other and with the local people . Sadly enough,the cosmopolitan nature of the city was abruptly put to an end when the Egyptian presedent Nasser issued the socialist laws of 1961,followed by the planned Arabinization of the names of streets and districts of the city.Most European communities left Alexandria except for a still existing very small Greek community and a slightly larger Armenian community
The decline in the cosmopolitan nature of Alexandria,although more profound in the year 1961 which witnessed the mass exodus of most non Hellenic communities,the Hellenic [Greek ] presence in Alexandria was still prominent and visible till at least the year 1975.
European influence on the city can be still seen in Alexandria after 50 years from the end of the cosmopolitan era of the city.In the following,I will try to show some landmarks of this era of the history of Alexandria.I am a still living witness to this era and hope that I can do something to preserve these memories for history and newer generations .The sequence of the presented photos are as follows:
1. An old building with a carved writing [Banque Emperiale Ottomane].
2.Italian geriatric house at Chatby [3 photos]
3. House of the famous Alexandrian Greek poet Konstantinos Kavafis (1863-1933) known as CONSTANTINE CAVAFY- three photos

5.Greek Nautinal Club near Qayet Bay Castle at Faros [two photos]
6. Evangelsmos Greek church In the heart of Alexandria, at Mansheia near Saint Catherine Square .This is the main church of the Greek Orthodhox Patriarchate.

wn.com/Nostalgic Glimpses From Cosmopolitan Alexandria
Cosmopolitan Alexandria is a term that is usually applied for a period in the history of the Egyptian city of alexandria lasting from [1860 -1961]. Large numbers of Greeks, Italians, French, English,Maltese, Armenians, Lebanese, Syrians,Turks,Bulgarians,Jews ,etc,lived in harmony within each other and with the local people . Sadly enough,the cosmopolitan nature of the city was abruptly put to an end when the Egyptian presedent Nasser issued the socialist laws of 1961,followed by the planned Arabinization of the names of streets and districts of the city.Most European communities left Alexandria except for a still existing very small Greek community and a slightly larger Armenian community
The decline in the cosmopolitan nature of Alexandria,although more profound in the year 1961 which witnessed the mass exodus of most non Hellenic communities,the Hellenic [Greek ] presence in Alexandria was still prominent and visible till at least the year 1975.
European influence on the city can be still seen in Alexandria after 50 years from the end of the cosmopolitan era of the city.In the following,I will try to show some landmarks of this era of the history of Alexandria.I am a still living witness to this era and hope that I can do something to preserve these memories for history and newer generations .The sequence of the presented photos are as follows:
1. An old building with a carved writing [Banque Emperiale Ottomane].
2.Italian geriatric house at Chatby [3 photos]
3. House of the famous Alexandrian Greek poet Konstantinos Kavafis (1863-1933) known as CONSTANTINE CAVAFY- three photos

5.Greek Nautinal Club near Qayet Bay Castle at Faros [two photos]
6. Evangelsmos Greek church In the heart of Alexandria, at Mansheia near Saint Catherine Square .This is the main church of the Greek Orthodhox Patriarchate. The street itself is called Greek Church Street "Share' Al-Kaneesa Al-Younaneah". It is one of the landmarks of Alexandria not only religiously but also architecturally and culturally.- [three photos]

Nothing was omitted out of the modern translations, some words and verses were not included in the original much older Greek manuscripts, the modern translations are based on.
There are many words and even whole verses that are not in the oldest manuscripts or the majority of the manuscripts but are included in the KJV text. In the modern Bible versions these verses are usually included with a simple note pointing out that they are not in the oldest known manuscripts.
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. 1 Deuteronomy 4:2
When it says we must deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him in three Gospels but the phrase "take up your cross" is missing from the fourth Gospel it is unlikely someone reading is going to come to the conclusion that we don't need to take up our cross.
Fact remains that all modern translations teach that Yahshua/Jesus is God, that we must believe in Him, and turn from our sins. millions of people own a bible yet they live contrary to the teachings in it, as though God and His will for mankind did not matter, or even exist. Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are they that DO HIS COMMANDMENTS".
There is the fact that false doctrine laces the KJV by the inaccurate translation of certain words from Hebrew and Greek to English. For example the Hebrew word Asherah is translated as grove in the KJV. Then in Acts..Asherah appears under the name of Easter, a pagan goddess condemned in the bible. The message of the KJV is veiled, and misleading.
Erasmus was a typical Roman period occultist. Despite his personal sins, the Spirit maintains the word throughout history.
In the 17th century, King James translators worked from the Erasmus Greek text of the New Testament. Erasmus had six Greek manuscripts from which to work. NIV translators work from more than 5,000 complete or partial manuscripts and papyri.

From Alexandria to Baghdad: The Reception of Hellenistic Knowledge in Classical Islam
With the beginning of the Arab Dynasty of the Abbasids and the foundation of their capital, Baghdad (762 CE), an unprecedented transfer of Hellenistic scholarship from the schools of Alexandria to the court and the cultural elite of Baghdad took place. By the end of the tenth century, almost all scientific and philosophical Greek works that formed the canon of Alexandrian scholarship, including medicine, physics, mathematics, musical theory, astrology, alchemy, and philosophy, had been translated into Arabic.
The lecture will explore the motives and roles of the groups participating in this transfer—the translators and the politicians and scholars benefitting from the translations—and trace the legacy of that campaign in Arabic philology and Islamic scholarship.

Cycle C.P. Cavafy
Wednesday 15 April 2015 19:00 Upper Stage
"Alexandria still": Returning to the Cavafian Alexandria sets out both to explore Alexandria’s unique place in the history and literary history of Europe and the Middle East, and to ask questions about its construction as a paradigm and a capital of cosmopolitanism. The discussion will centre on how Alexandria’s image -as it may be construed by readers of Cavafy, Forster and Durrell- is imbued with and profoundly influenced by Eurocentric ideas about and perceptions of the Middle East: the real Alexandria is a multi-dimensional, intercultural mosaic of a city.
At the event, Hala Halim, author of Alexandrian Cosmopolitanism: An Archive, will discuss Alexandria as a paradigm of cosmopolitanism with Alexander Kazamias, Senior Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Coventry in the UK. The discussion will be chaired by Dimitris Papanikolaou, Associate Professor in Modern Greek Studies and Fellow of St. Cross College, Oxford.

Philo of Alexandria - Allegories part II of III
Philo of Alexandria (c. 20 BCE -- c. 50 CE), also called Philo Judaeus, was a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, during the Roman Empire. Philo used philosophical allegory to attempt to fuse and harmonize Greek philosophy with Jewish philosophy. His method followed the practices of both Jewish exegesis and Stoic philosophy. His allegorical exegesis was important for several Christian Church Fathers, but he has barely any reception history within Judaism. He believed that literal interpretations of the Hebrew Bible would stifle humanity's view and perception of a God too complex and marvelous to be understood in literal human terms. Josephus' complete comments about Philo: "There was now a tumult arisen at Alexandria, between the Jewish inhabitants and the Gree... -

The first part explains how Arabic culture, that had collected and widened the classical legacy, was passed on to the Christian western world as a result of the translations that were done in the border territories between both civilizations and in particular in Toledo
during 12th and 13th centuries.
This would not have taken place without the spirit of tolerance that allowed joint work between scholars of the three cultures Arabic, Jewish and Christian.
The arrival of classical and Arabic knowledge in medieval Christian Europe had a profound influence and was the precursor of the Renaissance.
In the second part of this documentary, a jump backwards takes us to the times of the forebears of the knowledge collected and translated in Toledo.
This is how we reach The Alexandrian Library, founded by the successors of Alexander the Great. Thanks to the patronage of the Ptolomaic kings, this used to be a place where scholars could dedicate themselves wholly to study, surrounded by an extraordinary collection of all the books that were available in those times.
The library functioned for six centuries, beyond the Ptolomaic period, reaching levels of knowledge that in some cases would take 1500 years again to be reached.

His allegorical exegesis was important for several Christian Church Fathers, but he has barely any reception history within Judaism. He believed that literal interpretations of the Hebrew Bible would stifle humanity's view and perception of a God too complex and marvelous to be understood in literal human terms.
Josephus' complete comments about Philo:
"There was now a tumult arisen at Alexandria, between the Jewish inhabitants and the Greeks; and three ambassadors were chosen out of each party that were at variance, who came to Gaius. Now one of these ambassadors from the people of Alexandria was Apion, who uttered many blasphemies against the Jews; and, among other things that he said, he charged them with neglecting the honors that belonged to Caesar; for that while all who were subject to the Roman empire built altars and temples to Gaius, and in other regards universally received him as they received the gods, these Jews alone thought it a dishonorable thing for them to erect statues in honor of him, as well as to swear by his name. Many of these severe things were said by Apion, by which he hoped to provoke Gaius to anger at the Jews, as he was likely to be. But Philo, the principal of the Jewish embassage, a man eminent on all accounts, brother to Alexander the Alabarch, and one not unskillful in philosophy, was ready to betake himself to make his defense against those accusations; but Gaius prohibited him, and bid him begone; he was also in such a rage, that it openly appeared he was about to do them some very great mischief. So Philo being thus affronted, went out, and said to those Jews who were about him, that they should be of good courage, since Gaius's words indeed showed anger at them, but in reality had already set God against himself."
wn.com/Philo Of Alexandria Allegories Part Ii Of Iii
Philo of Alexandria (c. 20 BCE -- c. 50 CE), also called Philo Judaeus, was a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, during the Roman Empire.
Philo used philosophical allegory to attempt to fuse and harmonize Greek philosophy with Jewish philosophy. His method followed the practices of both Jewish exegesis and Stoic philosophy. His allegorical exegesis was important for several Christian Church Fathers, but he has barely any reception history within Judaism. He believed that literal interpretations of the Hebrew Bible would stifle humanity's view and perception of a God too complex and marvelous to be understood in literal human terms.
Josephus' complete comments about Philo:
"There was now a tumult arisen at Alexandria, between the Jewish inhabitants and the Greeks; and three ambassadors were chosen out of each party that were at variance, who came to Gaius. Now one of these ambassadors from the people of Alexandria was Apion, who uttered many blasphemies against the Jews; and, among other things that he said, he charged them with neglecting the honors that belonged to Caesar; for that while all who were subject to the Roman empire built altars and temples to Gaius, and in other regards universally received him as they received the gods, these Jews alone thought it a dishonorable thing for them to erect statues in honor of him, as well as to swear by his name. Many of these severe things were said by Apion, by which he hoped to provoke Gaius to anger at the Jews, as he was likely to be. But Philo, the principal of the Jewish embassage, a man eminent on all accounts, brother to Alexander the Alabarch, and one not unskillful in philosophy, was ready to betake himself to make his defense against those accusations; but Gaius prohibited him, and bid him begone; he was also in such a rage, that it openly appeared he was about to do them some very great mischief. So Philo being thus affronted, went out, and said to those Jews who were about him, that they should be of good courage, since Gaius's words indeed showed anger at them, but in reality had already set God against himself."
