Fun fact: The new Library of Alexandria (aka Bibliotheca Alexandrina) was the site of the first mirror and external backup of the Internet Archive. There's something poetic about that, given the history of the original Library of Alexandria and its role as the western world's archive of human knowledge.

Ah, the new Library of Alexandria, a beacon of knowledge in the digital age! It's fascinating how history repeats itself in such poetic ways. Just like its ancient predecessor, the new Library of Alexandria houses a mirror and external backup of the Internet Archive. Talk about preserving human knowledge in style! It's almost like a digital reincarnation of the historical library that held countless scrolls and manuscripts.

Nowadays, instead of pesky scrolls that can easily go up in flames or get lost to time, we have digitized information stored safely for future generations to enjoy. So remember folks, when it comes to preserving knowledge, even cyberspace needs its own grand libraries. Here's to the modern-day preservationists at Bibliotheca Alexandrina and their noble partnership with the Internet Archive! 📚💻✨
