Alexandria was a town located on the Nile Delta in Egypt, northern Africa.
Trek to Foundation[]
A longtime veteran player GymSock17 was running statistics on some servers when he saw that MCPE was registered as running, and a few players were logged in. Curious to see what this was about, Gym typed in the old server IP. Sure enough, the server's connection bars lit up green, and Gym logged in with curiosity and nostalgia on his mind. He recognized some of the players and found out that Justin 393 had restarted the server. After gathering enough supplies to last on his own, he used a link to the server's DynamicMap to find a suitable spot in which to make a base.
Early Days[]
At this point, very few towns had actually been founded. Kaiwhakahaere and Sardinia were a couple of those towns, scattered far and few across the planet. No one had yet settled a town in Africa, and the nearest town of Sardinia was still a while away, since the fastest transportation at the time would be by boat. Gym recalled how the Egyptians were one of the oldest civilizations in reality, and how their early agricultural settlements grew into an empire, accomplishing monuments like the Pyramids of Giza, which are considered an impressive architectural achievement even by today's standards. So, Gym decided to travel to the Nile Delta, and start the city of Alexandria.
Before formally founding the town, GymSock spent time gathering resources and planning out his first project, the Great Lighthouse of Alexandria. Clearing trees and starting to plant wheat to make room for the upcoming builds also took place. In order to hide his supplies and valuables from being taken by other players, Gym left his possessions in chests that he buried, not marked by anything expect his own mind, before he logged off each day.
After about a week of preparation, Gym officially founded Alexandria on the 4th of July 2018, as the first town in Africa since the reopening of the server.
