Library of Alexandria (3/5)

The well known library of Alexandria was one of the most important intellectual venues of antiquity. It was built by the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty which ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great's death. The most famous of the Ptolemaic dynasty was the Queen Cleopatra (Kleopatra). Her name is derived from the Greek words "Kleos" (strenght, power) and "PATER" (father).

Είναι στα αλήθεια κρίμα που δημιουργήματα σαν και αυτό έπρεπε να πεσουν...

Κάποιοι φρόντισαν τα κλέψουν πολλά έγγραφα και να καλύψουν την κλοπή με μια πυρκαϊά.

@rockfellia Watch the movie "Agora" it's a beautifully done movie about the Serapeum, ancient science and philosophy, and Hypatia of Alexandria one of the many great minds who studied and worked at the library.

The stars have always fascinated people...whether it is about love or science... :))
