The library of Alexandria; Scent of lost time

Through centuries and more, Egypt has played a very central role in mysticism, may it be Eastern or Western. Even, currently, is it just a coincidence that so many of these conspiracy theories are dated back to Ancient Egypt?

This is the country where Remises commanded an empire that was at the prime of its wisdom, finding out new things which are so vital, to date.  This is where Moses found himself, this is where the energy centers were covered with massive bricks called the pyramids, which still are an anomaly to many. These things prove that Egyptians had a lot of practically applicative knowledge and stories to be told. This knowledge is so vital that crusades were launched in search of them.

However, if you read history one of the most curious cases you find is the great ancient library of Alexandria which was home to books that had teaching of astronomy, architecture, philosophy and so much more from around the world. In the time of the great Julius Caesar civil war, Caesar was besieged at Alexandria and where the greatest works of his empire were stored was burned. Who burned it? is where one of the conspiracy lays. The answer of this is still unanswered some say that the Caesar himself burned down his own library so that no one else would ever get hands on it. 

What was in this library that needed to be burned down is what intrigues me. But the reality of it might not come across my eyes in my time of living.

The remainder of the knowledge has then again more conspiracy attached to it. This is called knowledge from the ‘Book of Life’. Subjects in this book are made only for the ruling class. It has teaching of magic, development, art and so much more.

A country’s free thinkers work for the entire world, researching and learning new knowledge which could be used for progress and much more. Rulers take credit for this knowledge and use it as a trophy. Because of these quarrels this knowledge is now dust.


 One thing to be learned here is that no empire lasts forever, sooner or later man has to die and empires have to fade away. History books are the only place where we can hear about lost civilizations. The Library of Alexandria’s burning shows how we need to preserve our books and literature or fear losing great chunks of our past.
