Pompey's Pillar in Alexandria, Egypt

January 2024 Pompey's Pillar is the emblem of the city of Alexandria, with an entrance fee of 150 Egyptian pounds. The site, as its name suggests, is primarily a pillar, but this pillar has stood here for thousands of years. In addition to the pillar, there are some scattered relics and two underground chambers. One of the chambers is a small library, and the other is a sanctuary, the sanctuary of the god Serapis. During the Ptolemaic era, he sought to unify the Egyptians and Greeks, and religion was the only thing that could unite them. It was unanimously decided that the god Serapis would be the official deity of both Greeks and Egyptians because it represented a fusion of ancient Egyptian and Greek gods, with the Egyptians placing a sun disk on the head of a bull.
