Built near the tomb of Alexander the Great, it became the beating heart of ancient scholarship, where mathematicians, poets, and philosophers shaped the future of civilisation.But was it truly the wonder we imagine—or a myth wrapped in marble? And who, in the end, dared to burn such brilliance to the ground?Join Keith as he unravels the awe-inspiring, enigmatic story of the Library of Alexandria: its rise, its purpose, and its fiery, unforgettable fall. Was it lost to war, to religion, to politics—or to time itself?History’s greatest repository of knowledge may be gone... but its ghost still lingers.Referral Links: Alexander the GreatAlexanders Library Support the showFor books written and published by Keith Hocton www.entrepotpublishing.com
