Studies in Alexandria
· Alexandria, Egypt

Wikimedia Commons · Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International · file A modern educational chronology places the eighteen-year-old Archimedes in Alexandria for study. The journey is plausible and accepted by some scholars, but the canonical English Wikipedia biography says it is unknown whether he visited Alexandria. The visit and especially the reconstructed year are disputed. Coordinates represent ancient Alexandria generally; the exact location of the institution where he may have studied is unknown.
