The Library of Alexandria - The Crime That Set Human Civilization Back 1,000 Years
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The burning of the Library of Alexandria in Ancient Egypt ranks among the worst crimes committed against humanity in known history. Lost scientific research including physics and anatomy and medicine, as well as knowledge and documentation of culture and history is widely believed to have set human civilization back significantly. Carl Sagan himself stated that the burning of the library of Alexandria likely set humanity back 1,000 years.
I feel like the saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket" came from this library being burned down. They should have uploaded to the cloud.
Greyfoxdbz18 LOL
Greyfoxdbz18 they probably would have burned down the cloud.
in case you dont know thats actually possible.
Even the cloud can get corrupted

In school we had to make a project on a historical disaster and I chose the burning of the library of Alexandria. People were so interested, we talked about it for an entire week cause nobody was taught it in class.
nice mate.what a nice school too it seems.certainly time joyfully spent.
Library of Nalanda in India(Bharat) had 9 million manuscripts. It burned for 3 months. Now with your knowledge comprehend how many years back was humanity set back. It was burned by an Islamic invader named Bakhtiyar Khilji because the natives of land healed his wounds. Enraged by the knowledge we possessed he sent his army 1000 miles east just to burn the library.
@@abhishekrao1710 there are crimes against humanity which know no bounds. This is not just a holocaust of people but the destruction of the potential that generations that were lost.

@@abhishekrao1710 I'm sure that wasn't the reason. Why would the reasoning of the people involved be so childish?
You really believe Caesar burned the library without first cleaning it out? Tell me would you do that if you were in his place and then tell me do you think Caesar was stupid? The people you conqueror, you take their knowledge away. Make it seem lost, and then you use it to stay in power. None of these historical characters were stupid and these transmissions make them seem so very one-dimensional.
In that library They had all the old knowledge of the old civilizations.
Lost forever.

This was probably one of the greatest catastrophies of history. Imagine the amount of things we would have access today from the ancient world of that hadn't happened.
@mario kong you do realize that the crusades were in direct response to Muslim invaders who murdered, raped and conquered much of modern Europe? The crusades were a defensive act, nothing more. Your historical knowledge is worthless. Biased and incomplete, suited to and by your political beliefs.

Library was burnt multiple times. First by Julius Caesar, next by the jews, lastly by Caliph Umar. I think it's still a blessing in disguise. Imagine ww1 and 2 in 300 ad, ww2 in 350 ad and ww3 in 400 ad. The more knowledge man has, be more warfare becomes more advanced. Warfare is part of human society.
Ancient Egypt is by far one of my biggest obsessions. I would love to be able to reverse the clock and see this library.

@@Sera-Marie just so you know the egyptian pyramids are older than the civilization itself, so its theorized an advanced civilization built it before them, got wiped out, and thousands of years later was rediscovered by egyptians which is why they use them as tombstones- because they didn't know what the true purpose of the pyramids were for

The mathematical ability of people thousands of years ago was so advanced that they could build the pyramids, knew the radius of the Earth and even the distance to nearby planets. Just a few hundred years ago people thought the Earth was flat, and some still do. That's how advanced they were. And most people don't even know it.
Ok, I have to correct you on one thing, people have known that the Earth was a sphere for thousands of years. It’s a myth that people back in the Middle Ages thought the earth was flat. That being said, you are correct, there are still flat earth idiots.
Lol! "Idiots". Ok, ignore the absence of curvature. I suppose you think your great granddaddy was an ape and that his was an amoeba. Whatever! Name-calling can't change reality. To be honest, it won't even matter when Yahweh Sabaoth (Lord of Hosts) remakes heaven and earth. It'll be a new flat earth anyway. So, enjoy your name-calling for this short time you have to do it.
Kaizen Analyst oof
that was way before this. we did not have the ability to build the pyramids during the timeframe of the existence of library of Alexandria.

Lol no
The library was more or less obselete by the time ceasar ever set foot on alexandria, The library was nothing more than just a propaganda machine by the time of cleopatra exalting the Greek Kings of Egypts and turning away the scholars who made the library important in any academic sense immigrating to rome and further down to ethiopia.

The burning of the ancient library of Babylon and the Book Burning done by the Anceint Chinese when the Qin conquered China (and built the Great Wall of China) was Equally as bad too

Egiptians
they were Greeks, Alexandria was a Greek city
Toxic Killer maybe it was in Egypt but it’s not a myth that Romans as well as other countries invaded, traded with and lived in Egypt and had influence on it.
Toxic Killer Alexander the Great was Greek.
He conquered it and hellenized it- Greece from 300 BC to Cleopatra under the Ptolemaic dynasty had massive traits of Hellenism, unlike the ancient Egypt we all know of.
In fact, the founder of the Ptolemaic dynasty, Ptolemy, was one of the most influential generals under Alexander the Great, and was from Macedonia.
Toxic Killer
Macedonia (today) is a region in Greece. Google it, it’s near Thrace- the country known as Macedonia today is more Bulgarian and Serbian, which is why they changed their name to ‘North Macedonia’.
He admired the Greek culture because he was Greek (although he admired Persian culture a lot too) - and even if he wasn’t Greek in another alternate world, he still hellenized the empire, and his general who became first king of hellenized Egypt was still Greek.
I remember studying math, and reading that Eratosthenes had measured the circumference of the Earth on a random page. Note how they didn't have rulers or pencils back then. I have no idea how he did it. It should have been the main course of geometry, instead of a side note on the book. Geometry means, measuring land. Geo comes from Gea which means land, but also Earth. He took the name quite literally and measured how big the earth was. Could you imagine? He discovered that the "known lands" were probably only 1% of all the Earths surface.
I don't know why almost every conqueror always wipes ancient knowledge. Ancient documents, weaponry, blacksmithing, etc.
vawa-ID everyone want to write there history make a god of the selfs

The romans were actually known for not doing that. That's why I'm sceptical about Julius Caesar being the culpit here
Alexander the great was have said to received a vision/dream that told him to destroy it
Eden Hazard alexander the great was dead for hundreds of years before the library of Alexandria was destroyed. Hence the city being named after him dipshit

I mean it is said the "knowledge of the soul" was contained within that library so its undoubtable.
The Library of Alexandria was to the Greeks, what the Internet is to the world today. Imagine if Google broke tomorrow.
Bruce FUCKIN vane! Egypt was part of Greece at the time. Alexander's empire was at its last day's, as the Roman Empire grew in strength and size. Egypt and Lebanon were not populated by black people at the time.

Hey Jimmy, I’m a “New Fan” Less than a month. I’m from Massachusetts. I ran into you by accident by watching Joe Rogan, and man I gotta say speaking from a “nobody” point of view I gotta say I’m speechless.. I’ve been for the last few years exploring the knowledge “accessible” to me. And through RUclips algorithms finally stumbled upon your presence. I’ve been watching your channel for the last month and can’t come to terms on how this information isn’t easily available. For instance your recent videos on a long forgotten history on pyramids, just makes me wakes me up. Makes me think more clearly on the fact that we might just not be carbon dating as accurate as we believe we are. So again Thank you and keep up the great work.

I saw a video a while back saying that when Caesar invaded Alexandria, he didn’t bring a lot of ships and saw the Egyptian army was docked in port with many many more ships than he had. So he burned all their ships down and in doing so the fire spread to the library. He didn’t intend to burn it down, and was actually remorseful about it because he was a lover of literature and history. I think that fire burnt something like 40% of the library. I know other people also invaded and torched the library but I can’t remember the details.
Only 48 BC kids would understand.
Also, the loss of the library wasn't as catastrophic as claimed. The information contained was not as unique as Jimmy makes out. It was not the only library of its kind. It wasn't even the biggest.

Crydal Sorry man. But have you looked at the school system? It's obviously and admittedly not there for you to learn and think critically. You go there to memorize and regurgitate all that they tell you is truth. There is literally no room for question. If you do then you are wrong.
This sort of model leads to a society like ours that doesn't question anything and accepts everything without rhyme or reason.

Ryan Smith well, that's because you don't get to learn much at school. At least not in most countries. In Greek schools we get all that information. But I guess that's probably because it was put there by the Greeks in the first place...
Yes public school limits talk of this library to a brief few sentences. This was the one event that cost humanity an insurmountable amount of knowledge.

@@ethereal6279, can an ordinary man like me go through Vatican books just for knowledge?
Learning about this as a teenager is didn’t think much of it. But as I’ve gotten older it pains me to know that so much knowledge was burnt away. The withdrawal of knowledge feels deliberate. It feels like some force out there is trying to keep us humans in the dark. And they are holding us back for as long as they can. I don’t know who would want to do this to us.
Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you should assume it's done by a God. Don't jump to this answer every time there is missing information. It was just a part of history, we are not that important. And clearly humanity is making great advancements so your claim is just stupid.

Many such tragic events have had a similar effect. The destruction of Babylon and its mathematical, astronomical and philosophical works had similar effects. About 2000 years later the Mongol destruction of libraries of Samarqand, Bukhara, Balkh, Nishapur, Isfahan and, above all, Baghdad - the city of many big libraries - also set back humanity.
Would someone explain to me how it is that the Vatican library has been "left locked" like this with no access to the knowledge within it? I don't understand why there isn't unbelievable amounts of pressure from all over the world, scientists,officials,governments, PEOPLE, to gain access!!
im sure someone has access. i believe there is alien writting in there saying how they used to help humanity
Hmmm....Perhaps the small group of families that own the media, governments and corporations are intentionally avoiding that topic. Just like they avoid every other topic that isn't, either directly or in-directly, pushing their propaganda, hysteria and agenda. Just a thought.

I think the biggest loss with the burning wasn't necessarily unknown books of unimaginable knowledge or whatever. I think there was probably a lot of copies around and what has been lost in science can be found again. Losses in culture though will never be recovered. What romances, musics, poem and so on have been lost? We will never know. A huge part of our shared history and the culture of our ancestors was lost

wales2k Basically the Vatican stole everything and kept it for themselves.
The Library was built during the reign of Ptolemy I Soter, Alexander's general, and the city was founded by Alexander - so the library would have been around 250 years old. Most ancient sources, like Plutarch, claimed that the library was destroyed during the siege of Alexandria when Caesar had to burn his own fleet and the fire spread to the harbour, but that the damage was not beyond repair. It was of course a tragedy for the city, and the Hellenistic world in particular, but a lot of people seem to forget that the library of Alexandria was not the only library in the world (and a lot of temples, especially in Egypt, also functioned as libraries to a lesser extent), and do not take into account that a lot of the scrolls had been copied, as you mention. Undeniably some scrolls were lost forever, but the events of 48-47 BC did not set civilisation back a 1000 years - but I get that nothing depicts "end of civilisation" like a library on fire.
That is so sad, I feel like crying. So much was lost.
Not to mention the library was operating until the 7th century.
I agree that the knowledge was copied and all over, however, all over was all over the world. This was one repository that contained knowledge from everywhere. Collectively, this was irreplaceable once burned. Gathering all that information again?
Travel was dangerous even more so than today. I don't know the numbers but a significant percentage didn't make it back home. A large percentage would be lost to the sea and the only proof it ever existed would be the library of Alexandria.
Also, like everywhere else battle happened destroying documentation. Other cultures might not put this same importance on preservation of written knowledge.
Other places ships might be captured and people enslaved, the documentation to slave sellers was not terribly important.
Egypt using papyrus to write their history on we see it didn't stand the ages, it deteriorated as time went on and as the culture rather disappeared.
This was true of many cultures.
Besides all of these considerations having one place that was sort of a backup for all culture was convenient. Pretending it didn't burn for a moment we could go pour over these documents from everywhere, learning from humanity collectively. Perhaps seeing two views of the same battle or multiple views of a historical event.
This would be unbelievable, and yes, we absolutely lost so much information.
If everything is still out there in cataloged libraries how do we not have that knowledge today? Entire cultures lost to us, traditions, people, explanations of awe inspiring buildings they left behind... we have no information on the majority of our ancestors. India seems to have the best idea of their history but even then they have blanks.
No, we lost a great deal of knowledge. Setting us back 1k years? I'm not sure... how do you quantify the loss of knowledge that we might never get back ever again. I don't know if we can put a number on years we've been set back since we don't know what's lost.
I don't understand the burning library representing end of civilization comment exactly... but i can say that where there's no way to say how much we were set back that also applies to it's impossible to say that it did not set civilization back 1k years. I don't believe anyone, let alone you or I could present a definitive statement like that.
I cried thinking about it. So sad that so much knowledge is lost. We cant cry enough, this was a huge crime, it maddens me.
Let’s just sayCesar dead get what you could from the library. What are the chances of it being in the Vatican?
History is written by the victors. An they tell the tale they would like to be known
I'm so sick of that saying. Long, long ago it had some truth to it but in modern times, when billions of people can read and write, history is written by losers as well as winners. The US lost the war in Vietnam and there are many, many books and documentaries about it, written by Americans, so there's just one example. Losers write history too, not just victors.
@@magistrumartium An how many average folk will ever read about the other outlook or even know those books exist. Education an self thought is lacking in the states so long as people follow the program as they will that statement will hold more truth than it needs to.

James very true statement
Lets think about it this way (from a more recent example): Germany was basically leveled by 1945 (including lots of libraries).....and yet the technology they had survived. In fact, it improved over time. Why? Well, the people did. The notion that some great scientific knowledge was lost with this library presupposes that all scholars were either killed with the library or left everything at the door when they went home.
You can't remember everything tho. Miniscule details they forgot might have been crucial for scholars in later years also.
America took the Germans top scientist is how the tech survived. Verner Von Bron? Idk if thats spelled correct.
@@crazgra That's kind of my point: when Von Braun was grabbed by the Americans....he didn't say "Sorry guys, can't help you. My library in [insert whatever German city you want here] is ashes."
So did Russian's they took just as many top scientists and others as well. While all victors suppress certain information from us civilians unfortunately
The Afrikan priests who were the teachers of the so called Greek philosophers, were murdered along with the burning of the library. The Romans thought that they had all the knowledge, thus throwing Europe into it's DARK Ages!!!
what you said at the end reminds me of bombing of National library in Serbia in 1941. by Nazis. Around 300k books were lost, around 1000 of those were original documents from from middle ages like musical pieces, royal notes, small paintings, other artistic works and letters and when asked why to bomb library first (it was Easter and with that act we entered WWII) some German general said: because their for centuries built national identity lies there
EDIT because apparently a lot of people like to just input their view of what i wanted to say and just assumed that i compared national library of small eastern European country to the largest library of an old century (and probably human history), i just need to clarify - THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAID.
as you may see, what i said is "what you said at the end reminds me of..." and what i DIDN'T say is "Alexandria and Serbia's destroyed libraries were EXACTLY THE SAME by both volume AND importance". thank you for time, bye
Wow, history just loves to repeat itself with humans.... I never knew of the Serbian Library, thanks for sharing! Such a shame that we are slowly progressing back to an age of ignorance for most people growing up today, rather than getting everyone well educated and taught how to think. And the destruction of Serbia's Library for such a narrow minded reason only exemplifies how much longer we have to evolve before we become truly intelligent.
General said what? That sentence doesn't make sense..
@@Danny88Jay it doesn't make sense grammatically? What he meant was: you built your national identity for centuries and now we're gonna destroy it. Sorry for bad English
We are moving away from enlightenment, we will destroy knowledge again and will have to start over again.
so the romans were tryna delete their identity hoping to have power over them bc what gave Egyptians power was their knowledge that built up their identity
The contents of the library were not destroyed, they were taken to Rome and reside in the basement of the Vatican.
The Pleblian Yes i have to agree!! they call themselves the Iluminati because they have the ancient knowledge which they want to keep for themselves and have control over all of us human beings in the world!
If Ceaser burnt the Library down and took all the documents back to Rome, where were they kept until the Roman Catholic church and Vatican were created ? The Vatican was built in 1929 and around the time of the burning of the Library of Alexandria, the Catholic church wasnt even a proper organisation ?
@The Pleblian, BINGO!!!
Here now - Where was the Vatican built?
The Pleblian - Rome. They created a Vatican state and built the vatican in it.
Ceaser was an educated bloke and I suspect he would of recognised the worth of the knowledge in the library.
If he took it all, I should think that it would have been documented as it would have been a huge job of work and would have drawn considerable attention. Unless they did it all in the dead of night, first, and once all the scrolls were away, probably in a ship, then they set fire to the Library, maybe ? With the aim of making it appear that the scrolls etc had been destroyed in the fire.
But if Ceaser did spirit, all the treasures of Alexandia away, they would have probably ended up with what would have been the precursor to the Catholic church. As the Catholic church was created by the Romans. Created to maintain control through fear of hell rather than by the sword. They no longer had the man power to maintain control over their empire by military means, so Constantine spread the Roman catholic church and its doctrine.
So , the scrolls probably did end up in the vatican, once it was built.
I have a strong urge to build a time machine whenever this is brought up
nothing of importance was lost.

Jose Luna it's because he actually cares about what he's saying and whose listening
Alex King The school system is too regimented like the military. Teachers are considered lowly employees. They really have no say in how things get taught. School is a business and it takes money to run. Employees don't get paid to tell the truth. They get paid for following the rules. This is why many teachers quit. There is no real development of student growth besides the basics of simple math, English, and a bit of critical thinking.
taoist40 that is maybe situation in US, but in Europe children have advanced math already in elementary school, program is much wider and history is teached in great details,i can bet that over 70% of people will know something about this library, while in us very small percent will answer you since you have very conservative and rigid school system where alnost all focus is on national history while history of the rest of the world is pushed aside.

Another very bad burning of a library is the burning of books in the Nalanda University, The foremost source of education and research in India which attracted scholars from all over Asia between 5th Century CE to 13th Century CE... The Delhi Sultanate's emperor Bhaktiyar Khilji destroyed it and it is said that there were so many books and manuscrips dating back to 2nd Century BC that a part of Human Civilization's history was destroyed...some people in their writings have even remarked the books burnt for 7 days...it is said to be such a fierce loss of human research
Wow man, I hadn't even heard of this!
Bhai edit this, it kept burning for 3 months, its smoke covered the hills of the area for months.
May this royal asshole of Bhaktiyar Khilji burn
in hell for ever and ever.
3 months not 7 days, every record says so even Chinese record of the date says so as many chinese scholars had lived there to gain knowledge, Nalanda was the perfect example of secular university, they taught both buddhist and Hindu school of thought as well as astronomy, history, art, science, geography, defence, administration, medicine and many more. The library had almost all the texts ever produced as knowledge in Asia. Every scholar who came from far brought a book containing some kind of knowledge which was safely placed in Nalanda, well not so safe ...

2 things you didn't take into account......
1. There were probably information in there that did not exist anywhere else, and only accessible to a few people after the library was destroyed. The kind of Information that would take several generations for another smart and lucky guy to re-discover and teach us all over again (Like Tesla).
2. If it takes you all of 20years to learn Science, math, language, medicine, religion, philosophy, arts, and politics from the day you started school to the time you graduate college, then how long does it really take for them to learn certain interesting topics contained in that library ?? Hundreds or thousands of years ??
WTF BBQ That would be kind of hard to plan, since all historical documents point towards the burning being accidental.

@@Smile2Joy colonisation is a must if we want to survive these next couple thousands to millions of years. Same behavior, yes. But for a different cause. The past cause was greed, the current cause is mostly survival and advancement of our civilisation.
Same people? Depends on perspective. In a sense, yes. But also a clear no.
Same destroyers? Well that's also based on persepectives. Destruction and creation are often 2 sides of a coin. It's not always bad. But there are 2 factors to consider if you wish to justify destruction. 1 is what drives the destruction. Why did it happen? What's the cause? 2 is whether you are on the receiving side of destruction or the one causing it.
I personally think i'm not like Caesar but who knows
By the time the library was burnt, it was not the place of learned renown of it's glory days. It had been in disrepair and much of it's holdings had already vanished from time due to neglect. That it was anything more than a run down dump at the time of it's destruction is one of the oldest Urban Legends of history..
Julius Ceaser was a conqueror, no doubt; but is there any history to the book burning by ancient Rome? As far as I know, Greeks used to collect knowledge, books and even intellectuals from the conquered lands.
Ramkrishna Das There’s no indication he meant to burn the library. He was burning the docks, and the fire spread from there.
Yes, that is what I am saying, that even if it happened it would have been an accidents. Christians and Muslims (except brief stint in Muslim world before Ghazali) had the habit of burning libraries of Pagan-and suppressing their knowledge considering it evil.
Ramkrishna Das the only example of Christians or Muslims burning non-Christian or Muslim libraries that I know of is the Conquistadors with the Aztecs, and that was because they were horrified with their human sacrifices and wanted to wipe the religion out.
Otherwise, they were perfectly happy to copy and learn from Pagan sources. A bit too much, actually. It took them far too long to admit Pagans like Aristotle, Plato, and Euclid were wrong about some things.
Romans and greeks are not the same, and did not share the same ideals. That being said i doubt he meant to burn down the library specifically, things sometimes happen like that when you lay siege to a port
Of course Greeks and Romans were not same. As far as I know ancient Greek did not burnt libraries; did Romans burn libraries? This guy is not saying there was any accident; he says every other hypothesis is BS, it has to be Julius Ceaser? And what is the evidence he is giving for it? Zero. Among all alternatives, Christians and Muslims have history of burning and destroying Pagan literature and text.

There were multiple burnings of the Library of Alexandria:
"Despite all this, the library is most famous (or rather infamous) for its burning. Throughout its near 1,000-year history, the library was burned multiple times.
According to Plutarch, the first person to blame is Julius Caesar. On his pursuit of Pompey into Egypt in 48 BCE, Caesar was cut off by a large fleet of Egyptian boats in the harbor of Alexandria. He ordered the boats to be burned. The fleet was destroyed, but the flames spread to the city and the library. It’s not known how much of the library was destroyed.
When Caesar documented this attack in his account of the civil war, he left out the destruction of the library; however, this is not uncommon of Caesar, who often left out damaging facts about himself in his writing. However, despite this loss, the library lived on. According to reports, Mark Antony gave Cleopatra 200,000 scrolls for the library well after Caesar’s attack.
The second, more famous, burning of the library came at the hands of Theophilus who was Patriarch of Alexandria from 385 to 412 CE. He turned the Temple of Serapis into a Christian church. It is likely that the collection was destroyed by the Christians who moved in. Some sources say nearly 10 percent of the library’s collection was housed in the Temple of Serapis. In the following years, the Christian attack against the library escalated, and the last great pagan philosopher and librarian, Hypatia, was tortured and killed. She was flayed alive by sharp seashells by the Christians.
The final blow came in 640 CE when Alexandria came under Muslim rule. The Muslim ruler, Caliph Omar, asserted that the library’s contents would “either contradict the Koran, in which case they are heresy, or they will agree with it, so they are superfluous.” The contents of the library were then supposedly used as tinder for the city’s bathhouses. Even then, it is said that it took six months for all the materials to burn."
It was one of the greatest disasters of human knowledge.
Trajan's Empire (the Roman Empire at its greatest extent) wasn't at all just 17 years after Caesar's death... Caesar died in 44 BC, that map is the empire in 117 AD

jmiquelmb your a fool to think that thousands of men would invade a land and only stop at its educational centre for no apparent reason,they knew taking away the kemetians knowledge will disable them completely,this knowledge was later boot legged in Italy and greece and consequently lead to the rise of people like Galileo etc it was then gathered and stored in the vatican library today which is nuclear protected not even the pope can just walk in there
As repugnant as it sounds that 'The Romans' were to have burned this library into ashes during the time of Julius it is more likely that the burning was merely a deception. Could it be that the scrolls were secreted away to somewhere else and the buildings torched to hide that? 'The Romans' were very practical. They were not above utilising a superior idea and calling it their own. Julius, although ruthless, was no fool. Destroying knowledge was not his style.
stephen gardin ...the Vatican archives hold all the answers. Boggles the mind what they're hiding... what they're guilty of.
