NEWS: Library of Alexandria Found

CULTURE: Library of Alexandria Found

The Library of Alexandria, long considered one of the largest respositories of human knowledge in the world, has been discovered by a Polish-Egyptian excavating team.

This may be the coolest news ever. Then again I am a huge dork when it comes to classical lit and philosophy.

I suppose I'll have to return all those overdue scrolls, dammit.

that's so cool!!

I too am such a geek for this sort of discovery.

did they find anything linking the egyptians with the african dogon tribe,
and the aliens who genetically engineered us to mine the planet for them?

Dude, that's nuts. Nuts.

No, but I'm sure they will find Atlantis, Avalon, and the ultimate cure for hiccups!

Ha!

Ancient history 0wned by the Poles! Sweet.

Is it intact? It's awesome though, whatever the answer is.

Wow, good news.

I didn't think news came in that variety anymore.

Can't wait to see what they find in there.

damnnit. i only can hope the materials found at least a bit was in good shape... i mean its the library of alexandria ffs!
(yes alas i too am a giant dork......)

... on another note i think atlantis was actually antarctica long LONG ago... before that meteor hit and shifted the worlds magnetic poles heating stuff up and killing all the dinosuars like.... ok not really. but it is a neat thought.... mmmm atlantis and avalon ahh if only
id go learn me some magicks! haha

thats fucking bad-ass! i really hope they do rebuild the collossus of rhodes

That's amazing. Egypt recently opened a new national library in Alexandria. It's a very modern, impressive building.

The title is a little misleading. They discovered the SITE of the Library of Alexandria. The library as well as all the contents were distroyed in a fire sometime in 47 BC.

thats soo cool..i wanna know more

holy crap, this is so awesome! i can't wait for more news about this. it's too bad that not very many people are going to care about it

Did they find any hot Alexandrian librarians?

Misleading or not, it's still a major find. I personally can't understand why this isn't al over the news. The only thing I can find on the net is the BBC article citeds above.

Well, good enough.

I woefully regret all contents being destroyed. Not only is it a severe tragedy that untold amounts of ancient works were lost to the ages, but, also, I need a job.
