[QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Horemheb: [b]Wally, He is incorrect when he states that the Greek thinkers that are famous today assembled at Alexandria. Sort of makes you question the rest of his comments, does it not?[/b][/QUOTE] Horemheb, the point you seem to have missed from Diop's statement is that, Greeks came all the way to Alexandria to accumulate knowledge. There must have been obvious reasons for them not to have stayed in Greece to do the same. It may make sense to you, to move elsewhere solely for education, in the face of having the same or equivalent resources in your homeland. But others do it, whenever there is more advantage of doing so abroad, over that of their original residence. Moreover, are you still suggesting that Alexandria was never a learning center, in the face of all available evidence? [/QB][/QUOTE]
