It was said to hold all the knowledge of the ancient world—a sanctuary of scrolls, secrets, and the minds of the greatest thinkers in history.
The Library of Alexandria wasn’t just a building. It was a dream—a bold, impossible dream to collect everything ever known, to house the wisdom of empires under one roof. 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.
