Archaeoastronomy at Alexandria
The town-planning of the ancient Alexandria has an astronomical orientation according to sunrise. This orientation was proposed by Robert Bauval in 2004, as that of the direction of the sunrise on the day of Alexander's birthday as a solar Horus-king. The same orientation was also considered in 2012 by Luisa Ferro and Giulio Magli.
