The capital city built to replace Thebes was Alexandria. Founded by Alexander the great in 331 BC, Alexandria became a major center of culture, learning, and trade in the ancient world. Its strategic location on the Mediterranean coast facilitated its growth and prominence, ultimately overshadowing Thebes.
