| Library of Alexandria,currently |
Okay, so we've heard what the Library is,the most important library in the world! And we've also heard how it was destroyed,while Emperor Aurelian and Queen Zenobia of Nabataea(Naba what-a?) were at war. But have we ever heard the story of when it was made and who made it? Created by the command of the first Ptolemaic rules of Egypt to preserve the light of Hellenic civilization and the sum of ancient Egyptian Knowledge. The library was made under Ptolemy I Soter in 290 BC. Remember Alexander the Great? What was he before he became founder of Alexandria? How did he order the people of Greece to put Alexandria on the mainland of Egypt?
