@SLewis958 It was actually the smaller daughter library that was destroyed in the film and in history. And Agora is an excellent movie.

Alexandria: Carl Sagan's heaven.

This was the biggest loss humanity has ever suffered, all that knowledge and culture lost to the ages, it almost makes me want to cry.

@gethsoftware Your right. A few months ago, in Belize, Protestant missionaries built a school, blocking the only access road a group of Catholic Creole families (who are very poor) had from the highway, to their homes. They even built over part of one families land.
The only way they could fight back was with violence, as the goverment did nothing. And then they'll try to convert them. WTF?
Channel 5 Belize City has a year in review program on streaming video on their website.

"Agora", is a great movie that touches on the fire at the Library of Alexandria and the discussion in this comment section. Set in 3rd century Alexandria, It follows the lives of pegan roman scientists, jews, christians and the conflicts between the three.
It's also extremely graphic.

@sickbasterd123 yeah. but i am not suprised. they whuld not have being able to brainwash them to their religion is they alowed them to have knowledge. this is not just what happend in history. missionarys today inspire riots and murders of intelectuals. they allso inspire attacks agains other religions.

Watching this video really drives home the point that we humans are ultimately just somewhat clever primates.
