Thank you. This makes everything fit the world's knowledge much better. Like all myths it allow one to dream of things that may have been missed. I love it.
Your videos are great! I'm in love with Greek mythology! And I enjoy watching these videos so much, also, this video really helped me learn more about the Library of Alexandria! I did not know half of this! ❤️
So many things here not supported by scholarship: there is no record of the number of books in the Library but estimates by scholars say the number was probably near 40,000 not 500,000. There is no record of ships in Alexandria being searched by the Ptolemaic goverment. At the time of the Library, books were in the form of rolled up scrolls of papyrus. Bound books were not used until many centuries later.
Well done Kelly but Myth is not a word for "lies" or "missinformed" para-myth is that, myth has truth inside and is true! And Argonauts original story was written by Orpheus. Apollonious Rodius had many problems by the ancients that time when he rewrote Argonauts.
I believe it's easier to divide history's periods and explaining them by isolated facts, that cause changes, then it is telling the details. Would the Cause and effect law of positivism be the basis for historical narratives in the XIX century?
Interesting perspective. The edict of Theodosius to end the Olympics & all gymnasia, close all universities & athenæums, and end all ethnic-pagan worship, etc., surely directly contributed to the end of the library, whatever it was at the time. The murder of Hypatia is certainly a symbolic end. Whoever “resurrected” the library thereafter, the Muslim invasion must've been the final nail in the coffin.
You are speaking but with no proof u are using words like "probably" & "most likely" you are also saying the fall of library did not set human knowledge back, but how would you know? many scholars dispute this fact. just because you make a video does not make it verbatim. you don't have many subscribers because you are speaking with probability's and not certainty's. bad video waste of time.
HOW...how did a city in Africa, come to be named, "Alexandria" in the first place? There used to be only two great libraries... one was in Timbuktu, and the other was in either (my Goad, I've forgotten the other. .. I have to re-listen to Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan!) ... or Dr. John Henrick Clarke.. but remember it was the Moors and Sub-Saharan Africans who brought Europe out of the Dark Ages. Much of ancient Greek knowledge was plagiarized. Ancient Egypt was like America of that age in that it was multi-cultural, but it rose out of Black Kemet.
Why do you feel the myths surrounding the fall of the Library of Alexandria are repeated?
It signifies the loss as a hole in war.
Still brings a tear to my eye.
Us too. 😔
Thank you. This makes everything fit the world's knowledge much better. Like all myths it allow one to dream of things that may have been missed. I love it.

btw, does world history encyclopedia have content associated with the sea peoples?
We have this article: worldhistory.org/Sea_Peoples/
Positively sad that it was burned down or destroyed
It will forever be a horrible event. 😔
I wonder how many great places of learning in the past got destroyed
library of alexandria, the abbasid house of wisdom, ....
Way too many we fear. 😔

Declining library popularity just doesn't quite have the same razzmatazz.
Brilliant & 😻😍
Thank you so much! 😊
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support, Rob! 😊
The library of Alexandria was the second of the Great library of Rome.

Alexanderia still has its great library

how long did the library of pergamon, its rival, last?

Historically incorrect. No modern expert would agree with these assertions. Try curing historically evidence.

Alexander the Great discovered it and named it after himself .
Cosmos was wRoNg 😝 Sorry Carl-ie
