Editing Guardians of the Lost Library (section)

== Historical accuracy ==
The story contains at least one potential historical error: It apparently claims that [[Alexander the Great]] intended [[Alexandria]] to be the capital of his empire. Actually, he built it to be the capital of [[Egypt]] but not of the entire empire. [[Babylon]] was the capital of Alexander's empire, even though Alexandria became the capital of the [[diadochi]]c [[Ptolemaic Kingdom]] under Alexander's immediate successor [[Ptolemy I Soter]].

The exact quote found in "Guardians of the Lost Library", "The city was founded by Alexander the Great in the fourth century B. C. to be the capital of his empire!" is a bit ambiguous, meaning either that it was Alexander's direct personal intention or that it was about to happen independently of whatever Alexander had intended.
