What Really Happened to the Library of Alexandria?

Your phone dies tonight with no backup, and you feel sick. But that's nothing compared to what humanity already lost once — and almost nobody agrees on how it happened. You've heard the story: a single fire, one catastrophic night, centuries of knowledge turned to ash. It's dramatic. It's clean. It's also mostly wrong. In this video, you'll uncover what historians like Roger Bagnall, Luciano Canfora, and Mostafa El-Abbadi have actually pieced together about the slow, four-hundred-year disappearance of the Library of Alexandria — and why the real cause is far more unsettling than any fire. Then you'll see how the exact same pattern of quiet neglect is happening to human knowledge right now, in your own devices and the servers you never think about.
