Library of Alexandria

The Great Library of Alexandria was an ancient library located in Alexandria, Egypt, that once held tens of thousands of scrolls from across the known world. At its peak, the Library became a cultural center for scholars and poets, though it gradually declined until many of its inventory was transferred away, and it burned down during the Roman Empire's reign. Whatever remained of the Library was fully destroyed in 642 CE by decree of a Muslim caliph.
