Counted for the best collection of items from the Classical era, with plenty
of excellent statues, sarcophagus, jewels, textiles and tiny objects of all sorts. The museum
reflects Alexandria's importance as the scene of the Serapis cult, a creation by
Ptolemy 1, intended to merge Egyptian and Greek religion. Serapis was married to the Egyptian
goddess Isis.
