History shows us that after big wars, entire civilizations source of knowledge & information just vanish.I'm so thankful we've got the technology to protect & save the corpus of modern civilization.

However it’s not fool proof, & advancing AI tools in the wrong hands is a threat.

Yeah, it was burned twice.

Most people are only aware of the time Caesar set it alight - something to to with a naval battle.

But the second burning was directly after the Christian mob murdered Hypatia. Idk if they did it or if it was an accident.
