Alexandria

Alexandria was a city in Egypt, home to the largest library in the ancient world (VD: The Book of Shadows)

During the reign of Ptolemy I of Egypt, Astrolabus helped built a lighthouse in the city, taking fire from the Sun and stars to do so. With this, spacecraft came from space to the city and it became a crossroads in time and space for such visitors. They were searching for Voyager's star charts but adepts in sorcery called upon chthonic winds and fled with the charts.

With the cities fall and the conjunction of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, creatures from the depths of the sea, such as the Kraken, rose and destroyed what remained of Alexandria. (DWM: Voyager)

The First Doctor, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright visited Alexandria during Ptolemy's reign. (VD: The Book of Shadows)

The Doctor was forcibly ejected from the library of Alexandria after misshelving the Dead Sea Scrolls. (PDA: Eye of Heaven)

The Doctor saved two Aristophanes plays from the burning of the library. (NA: Timewyrm: Apocalypse)
