I thought I knew a bit about Alexandria, but that was really interesting. It was a catastrophe when that library was destroyed.

Thank you. Such a great city with such fantastic history. Have you ever been?

No, but It's on my bucket list!

I hope you get around to it. It's well worth a visit.

Wow, didn't know the great library was partially built through confiscating books. Great article!

Yes, they were systematic about it. Thank you!

So much more to have mentioned, hence Issa's book. That would be an incredible discovery.
