If you have heard about the ancient Library of Alexandria, you probably think that we lost it in the blaze of a horrible fire. But what if that wasn't the whole story? What if the loss of this ancient and wonderful Library was actually much more complicated? Come with me this week as we explore the history of this incredible institution, the kings and scholars who created it, the academics who made it thrive, and the centuries that saw it decline. I can't wait to visit ancient Egypt with you once again!
