Some of the teachers went on a little field trip to the Alexandria Library today. Alexandria was known for having one of the largest libraries in the ancient world. Unfortunately, the library burned down (around 48BC). Alexandria was considered the capitol of knowledge, so the destruction of the library meant countless pieces were lost forever. Alexandria built their current library in 2002, with the intent to make it a tribute to the greatness of the ancient library. The building is gorgeous.
