Library of Alexandria burning down for the modern era

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Damn. I hadn’t even thought of it. Isn’t it crazy that some people among us would see things like that burn and not even wince. Hell, some would even celebrate. Our lives are so short. It blows my mind that anyone would want to destroy something like that for any reason.

technically alexandria was probably a rather modest library, but yeah, as far as the expression goes.
