THE GREAT LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA
Here the wisdom of seven hundred thousand scrolls waited patiently for the torches of time. Some knowledge survives only in those who carry it.
Euclid's theorems rendered in red ochre on papyrus, preserved beneath Alexandria's golden sands.
Hipparchus catalogued 850 stars. We still look up and see what he saw.
Of Aristotle's 200 works, only 31 survive. What burned in the fire, we can never know.
