The Library of Alexandria: Nobody Burned It

<p>Hundreds of thousands of scrolls. The lost plays, the lost histories, the lost science of the ancient world, gathered under one roof by kings who confiscated books from every ship that docked. And then it was gone. But it did not die in a fire — and the truth is far more frightening.</p><p>August Mercer dismantles the myth of the great burning, and reveals how the greatest collection of knowledge in history was actually lost: slowly, quietly, because people stopped paying the bill. This is Six Feet of History — five minutes of the past they'd rather you forget.</p><p><em>Follow for a new story every day. A Dark Whisper Studios production.</em></p>
