The Bibliotheca of Alexandria was a beacon of knowledge, where scholars and writers came to leave behind works that would be written in history, and the library remains one of the greatest libraries in history, if not the greatest.
Library of Alexandria
This library is considered one of the oldest, most important, and most comprehensive libraries in history. It was an important center for science and scientists in the past and included the most important books of this era. Now the modern library includes some of the most important books in the world and is an important historical, cultural, and tourist center for Egypt.
The Library of Alexandria in the past
The library was once famous worldwide for its books and manuscripts of the most important writers in history. It is also the oldest government library in history, as it includes Egyptian and Greek writings. This is because the Hellenistic period was a period of science and development, not a period of wars, which paved the way for scientists and authors to be creative; even the rulers of this era helped the authors, and some of them were interested in writing, such as Ptolemy II Philadelphus.
Who burned the old library?
Many say that it was Julius Caesar who set fire to more than 100 ships in the Mediterranean during his war against Cleopatra and that the fire reached the library and burned it. There are other opinions; for example, they say that there was a Roman emperor after that who burned it, and there are those who say that the Christians burned it, and there are those who say that the Muslims burned it, and this is not certain, but what we know is that the ancient Library of Alexandria was burned, and with it a lot of knowledge and history was burned.
Current Library
There have been attempts to find another library with the same character as the old library, but it likes the modern style. Many tried until President Mubarak tried to build it. With UNESCO to revive the old library that was a beacon of knowledge and scholars, as he wanted to create another beacon, to become the first digital library of this century and to have another library bearing the name of Alexandria and containing many important books, as it has millions of books and many museums and cultural exhibitions and many wonderful things that make it a great cultural edifice.
