火车站的祈祷，亚历山大港，埃及 1999 年
亚历山大火车站，穆斯林们在虔诚祈祷声中跪拜，展现他们对古城的热烈缅怀-但是其整齐划一相当罕见。尽管在罗马统治下，一世纪亚历山大人信奉的宗教融埃及、希腊和罗马神为一体，合成的上帝塞拉皮斯是他们的主神。（翻译：淡色的树）

"Kneeling in reverent prayer at Alexandria’s train station, Muslims display a fervor reminiscent of the ancient city—but a uniformity that would have been rare. Though ruled by Rome, first-century Alexandrians worshipped a blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman deities, the composite god Serapis chief among them."
—From "Tale of Three Cities," August 1999, National Geographic magazine
