The principal suspect is Julius Caesar

history channel documentary The smoldering of the library of Alexandria is one of the best tragedies ever. Give me a chance to put it along these lines no doubt if the library hadn't been blazed then we would most likely be utilizing twist drives or by the minimum colonizing damages. However not make any difference how horrendous the blazing was there is no good reason for what ifs. Be that as it may, researchers and history specialists scratch their heads right up 'til the present time on how the library was smoldered. Any of the accompanying hypotheses could be valid. Be that as it may, likewise it could be every one of the a joint action.Before we go into speculations of its downfall lets take a gander at tiny bit at the library itself. The city was established by Alexander The Great who established a few urban communities called Alexandria. However the library itself was established by his successor in Egypt. Ptolomy II Soter. The library was quite a part of a gallery. In any, dislike the exhibition halls we know today the historical center was intended to be a sanctuary to the 9 muses. Alternate parts of the sanctuary incorporated a zoo sanctums to each of the dreams and a few gardens and address territories. In spite of the fact that obviously the most critical part was the library itself.

history channel documentary The principal suspect is Julius Caesar. Julius had been pursuing Pompey. He had pursued Pompey the distance into Egypt and Egypt made this is a military move and reacted. Julius was rapidly cut off from departure and dwarfed. Keeping in mind the end goal to escape he expected to make a diversion and what better diversion then a huge flame? He lit a few of his boats ablaze and sent them into the Harbor of Alexandria. The flame could have effectively spread to the Library.There Library had such a large number of books that it couldn't hold every last bit of it and there was another sanctuary that held around 10% of the books called the sanctuary of Serapis. However a Patriarch of the city of Alexandria Theophilius was an ardent christian and had the sanctuary changed over and the lion's share of books blazed. Likewise the last custodians of the considerable Library were murdered in uproars amongst Jews and Christians. Caliph Omar is the last man to be reprimanded for annihilating the considerable library. Caliph was a Moslem. The Moslems had vanquished the city and the general had known about the library which evidently held all the data on the planet. He asked his consultant Caliph who proposed that they consume the books to warm the shower house. Since they would either concur with the Koran and there for be pointless or differ in which case it would be blasphemy. It is said it took 6 months to blaze every one of the books.
