Alexandria Library

The Library of Alexandria was an ancient center of learning in Egypt, established around the 3rd century BCE. It aimed to collect and preserve all known knowledge, attracting scholars from across the Hellenistic world. The library housed countless scrolls and manuscripts on subjects like science, philosophy, and literature, making it a symbol of knowledge and innovation. Over centuries, it suffered damage and decline, and much of its collection was lost. Today, it remains a powerful symbol of intellectual curiosity, inspiring efforts to create modern institutions that promote global access to knowledge.
