Welcome to Alexandria, Egypt.

🏛️ Around 300 BC, a king dreamed of collecting ALL the world's knowledge in one place.

📖 The result? The Library of Alexandria – home to hundreds of thousands of scrolls.

Every ship that docked was searched. Scrolls were borrowed, copied… the originals stayed.

Geniuses like Euclid (geometry), Eratosthenes (Earth's circumference), and Archimedes studied there.

Then came the fire. War. Neglect.

So much was lost forever. 💔

But today, a new library rises on the same ground – the Bibliotheca Alexandrina – a stunning symbol of hope.
