# History

The Library of Alexandria was founded in the 3rd century BCE and became a center of scholarship, attracting scholars from different parts of the ancient world. Over the centuries, it endured various challenges, including political upheavals and invasions, which contributed to its gradual decline.

The newly established Christian church and the pagan institutions of Alexandria. Theophilus, the Patriarch of Alexandria, issued a decree against paganism, leading to the destruction of some pagan temples.

The Serapeum, a temple complex in Alexandria that housed a significant portion of the library's collection, was destroyed in 391 CE during the rule of Theophilus.

In 402 CE The First Church of Rose and The Cross was destroyed by Theophilus and Christian Fanatic Lunatics, they burned all the books who dared to have a version of Jesus different from their Jesus.

The Christians, hunted "heretical" groups, including Gnostics and Isis worshipers. thousands were killed and temples and libraries burned until the Christians launched a final invasion in the Library. This invasion culminated in the library's complete destruction.

18 - 23 March of 415 CE The Christian Fanatics under the leadership of a lector named Peter, destroyed the Library of Alexandria and burn all the book's. they raided Hypatia's carriage as she was travelling in her home. They dragged her into the Kaisarion, stripped her naked and murdered her using ostraka cut out her eyeballs. tore her body into pieces and dragged her limbs through the town to Cinarion, where they set them on fire.

The destruction of the library was accompanied by widespread chaos and unrest in Alexandria. Scholars who had attempted to save precious texts were targeted, facing assassination for their efforts to preserve knowledge. The city was plunged into turmoil as a result of these events.

All the knowledge was lost. Christianity created and ruled the world marking the birth of the "Middle Ages."

In the grand tapestry of human history, there exists a pivotal moment that forever altered the course of our pursuit of knowledge. That moment, encapsulated in the tragic events surrounding the Library of Alexandria, leaves us pondering the "what-ifs" of our past.

Imagine a world where the Library of Alexandria, that beacon of wisdom, remained intact and vibrant. What if Christianity was eliminated by The Roman Empire and knowledge and the library had led to a different outcome?

In such a world, the preservation and expansion of knowledge might have been accelerated. The lost works of antiquity, would have provided a more complete picture of our past. In the fields of science and technology, the texts on atomic energy, flight, and robotics might have accelerated our understanding, igniting an earlier industrial revolution, and leading to advances in energy and automation.

In astronomy, the early hints at celestial phenomena, perhaps akin to our modern concept of black holes, might have spurred earlier space exploration. The vision of Seneca and his contemporaries might have materialized sooner, propelling us further into the depths of the cosmos and unveiling the mysteries of the universe.

It's not merely about advancing technology; it's about accelerating our understanding of the world around us. In the end, we cannot rewrite history, but we can learn from visionaries like Carl Sagan who dared to ask, "What if?"

Their speculations must inspire us to safeguard knowledge, to becaume guardians and warriors of curiosity, history and knowledge.

We can shape what is to come, guided by the enduring wisdom of the past and the boundless potential of the human spirit.
