Ironically, the only bit of knowledge the Library of Alexandria apparently didn't contain was how to build a fire-proof library.
You mean fireproof parchment
@@Dingbobber or a fireproof scrolls
@@Dingbobber I don't think it's possible to make a parchment or scroll fireproof though. What material would you use for that?
@@laisensei6984 actually the IT world does it all the time. while a database cant be made indestructible, if your database is in the US, you can make a back up in the EU and then another one in Australia. all 3 must be destroyed at the same time or else a back up copy of your data is somewhere.
if the Alexandrians made like 1 or 2 back ups and updated them once every year or so much of the data could have been preserved.
@@jonmcfluffy9699 That would require awfully a lot of man power considering this is BC we are talking about. And which locations should be selected as back up is also a problem. It's kinda apparent that the scholars of Alexandria would like to keep all this knowledge to themselves, so selecting a different city for back up is likely to get disapproved (as it would give access to scholars outside Alexandria). If you do the back up near Alexandria, it could get burned as well should the fire spread too far.

Plot twist: When they finally found the list of titles at the Library of Alexendria, they discovered 90% of the books were romance novels and teen vampire series...
😆
If that could have prevented Twilight, it would still be worth it...
Ha!!! Right??!!
I'm sure there were porn in there.
And many were past due for return 🤨
Moral of the story: have you backed up your computer today?
@Lucas Bianchi my experience is that you need more than two.
@Lucas Bianchi Dara redundancy
They did have a back up system, every manuscript was copied! If every manuscript was copied and sent back to the owner as well as copies to other libraries than there were multiple copies of each manuscript spread all over the world!
Saying we lost all that knowledge is a absolute lie! The library had several fires and was in disrepair for 200 years before it was finally burned to the ground...
indeed i have
@@samuelmarberry4761 you make a salient point. I wonder how many of those copies given to the original owner are still around, I would think some may have ended up in the Vatican.
The saddest “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” story.
redundancy would have been nice, but try copying 700k scrolls by hand :(
@@salzstangl. Well, thats what they did
Probably didn't help having a fairly flammable building completely stuffed to the brim with kindling. Then again, it was finally taken out by the Muslim Calif and they probably didn't burn it down but dismantled it and repurposed the masonry for other things like they did in most other cities they conquered.
When you think of the building as a giant tinderbox, it's more impressive that the hundreds of thousands of people that came through that library, there weren't more accidental fires from candles and torches.
+he i. Yes, that's even worse. If you did it once you know how hard it is.
They don’t set it back 1000 years. The scrolls were copied, remember?

You forgot about Twilight.
This will incur a lot of angry replies
Another story that always makes me cringe is when I found out that the Spanish stole all the gold plates and books from the Aztecs, handed them over to the Catholic church, and then the priests MELTED them down and destroyed all that valuable information and genealogy because obviously "every book that's not the bible is evil and must be destroyed" Makes me want to cry when I think about what was lost.
Wait a minute. They MELTED all the plates? So what we see in those fancy golden books and bibles of that era are actually like south american heritage destroyed?!?!?!?! I had never heard of this and I'm so upset now😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠 why woul- aghgjgghhggghhggh!!!!!!
Yeah, fuck religion and the God you rode in on.
@stephen w humanity it's just f**ked up, why would they need to do such thing, all the massacres, the violence, the stealing for nothing, in the end everyone dies.
And yet people still do the same thing today by censoring books, altering history and destroying statues.
@@VickaCastello IT's stuff not taught. It's usually glossed-over, if mentioned at all, what the conquistadors did to natives in the Americas--it was horrific...Aztec human sacrifices are child's play, compared with what europeans did in the americas, while Catholics painted a pretty picture of "all their good works" to bring the natives into more modern living...no, slavery.
Yeah..they destroyed nearly everything they could find, to wipe out the Native spirituality, their culture, everything.
You know the scary thing about 12:40 is today's society is leaning heavily in this direction. Destroy thoughts and ideas that aren't in agreement with certain elements, and if they are incorporate them still. Humanity really does never learn a damn thing about itself or it's history
Sad isnt it...
If we forget the past we are doomed to repeat it!
they keep cancelling it all so never learn
wash rinse repeat 😐
we live in a society
STUPID people never learn a thing, stupid, phobic people are the most dangerous....

The loss of the Library of Alexandria has always deeply bothered me. I would love to have seen it. 700,000 scrolls up in smoke...tragic.
me too. I would of loved to of seen the place, and go inside at it's height. Would of been breath taking.
considering that they were commandeering ships' documents a good portion of those scrolls would have been unexciting ships' manifests and logbooks.
It was preserved in the form of Junior Woodchuck Guidebook.
If you can snort the Ashes of the scrolls, you can achieve infinite knowledge.
Mostly garbage and the rest was available in other locations. Nothing of value was lost.
It wasn't the fire in library of Alexandria that set back humanity. It was human who thought destroying the library was a good idea that set humanity back.
the human set fire to the boats which set fire to the building. if cesar had known there was more boats when he invaded he probably would have not set fire to the boats
actually that is a very good point.
You weren't paying attention. He didn't set fire to the library
@@debbylou5729 Ok yes, he set fire to the boats, however look at the time in history, it's not like they could call the fire brigade, setting fire to anything in any city, has a huge chance of spreading and burning most of said city down.

The Great Library lost its funding before Caesar's time, and it was all downhill from there. Once a library loses government support, the collection tends to evaporate either thru decay or pilferage. By Caesar's time, there were very few researchers there, and they spent most of their time going down rabbit-holes of literary criticism.
So I think that the loss of the Great Library is a mere legend, a romanticized tale like the Elephants' Graveyard.
The only thing I regret losing is the historical works of the emperor Claudius. He gathered all the available records of the Etruscans and the Carthaginians, and wrote two histories of them. Even his harshest critics admit that Claudius was gifted as a historian (like, "He should have stuck with writing histories.") And he had adequate sources to work from. His works were the definitive histories of those times, superseding all others, and then ALL of the materials were later lost.
We know from surviving Roman records that he built an annex to the Great Library and deposited his manuscripts there.

Qwart22 nope
I could have created games in 1019

Justin Bayless it probably would have burned down eventually. What they should have done is made copies of the books and store them in a secret location. They were already hand copying some of them anyway so they should of thought of redundancy.
My favorite answer to the question: "If you could go back in time, what would you change?"
....Bring a printing press to the Library of Alexandria...
or maybe a sprinkler system
I'll burn it down before ceasar could get to it.

One lesson we can all take from this disaster? ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP!
Because they wont burn that or those will they. Why think people just discovered the importance of redundancy? If knowledge was lost then it must not have been being used....
I cry every time I think about it.
I have wept myself to sleep for lifetimes over this.
Quick reminder. ALWAYS use a backup!
Exactly. Problem was there was no Backup for the info in the library of Alexandria.Well they did not have cloud storage back then.

So we could have had dank memes even In the 11th century
Yes
Nobody can prove that that is not what would have happened
🤣
The hoosher dank memes are too stupid for the knowledge inside that library. I doubt we would be lol
I would say way more to blame is the fall of the roman empire and the catholic church taking possession of and hiding away all books for a good 1000 years till the renaissance. The roman empire was in the early stages of industrialization, a level we did not reach again for over 1000 years. There was no real drop in technology after the library of alexandria fell, but there was a huge after rome fell.
This is the first time seeing him without the mustache.. im not okay
Unfortunately no fire extinguishers installed in the library. Learned scholars but little foresight.

It wasn't just this library that was burned that set back humanity. The House of Wisdom owned by the Persian Empire had a lot of the Greek knowledge and there knowledge stored. It is documented that the library had a large archive of medical and scientific knowledge. Although, people may argue that it is not as great as the Great Library of Alexandria. However, the destruction of the House of Wisdom was detrimental to human achievement also. Yeah... The mongols really set human progress back a lot....
Also, we put satellites to get the circumference of the earth for the sake of accuracy. Lol. Accuracy is important for us in the math field. Thanks :)

If timetravel would be possible, gathering lost knowledge seems to me the only reasonable thing to do with it.
agreed
There would be no point except for historical knowledge
We are at a point we’re the real knowledge would be irrelevant but a nice little historical who first
@@robolo4228 It is said once an idear is out in the world it can never be undone again and yet there are those who argue that knowlege has been lost and not been recovered again. I agree that modern science not the less due to its methodology has surpassed anything what has been before, that does but not exclude the possibility that the antic agyptians may have had technics we know nothing about today and may even beenficial to us if we would.
Besides i am rather at odds with the concept of timetravel hrhr. Not only have i never seen in the science fiction a logical sound way described nor do i accept sofar what science would tell us about such an idear. Aslong it is not done and we see the outcome i assume it can not be done, still for some theoretical arguments it is nice to assume it could be.
@Ben Branson which would lead to paradoxons. Like f.e.: What happens when what you did in the past would prevent ancestors of yours to be born? I don't buy it that then a parallel world, a multiverse or some other neat trick SciFi writers came up with to get their storries straight would happen. Even if just for fun some mathematicians and physics professors would came up with a theory i still would not buy it, till someone from the future comes along with patents for future tech.
@Ben Branson "you don't see" that i did not disagree. What i am saying further is that the whole timetravel as a concept is bullshit to begin with and neither have i ever seen any SciFi author package it in a way that no logical flaws are apparent nore have i seen any Scientist put it in a way that it makes sense. A citat on time by a scientist which makes the most sense is: "Time is a process, not a place" That was in a documentation about quantum gravity which needed to define time slightly differently or at least point it out that way.

The burning of the Alexandrian library kills me, it's beyond tragic.
Maria Caputo just takes one dumbass...
Maria Caputo bruh, we don’t need libraries just use google
The 4 most tragic events in history:
1: The destruction of the Library of Alexandria
2: The death of Isaac Newton
3: The death of Albert Einstein
4: The death of Stephen Hawking
Not it wasn't. It sucks that the scrolls were lost, but anyone who says it set humanity back is being ignorant about the topic.
-First of all there was not single burning of the Library of Alexandria, it decayed over time like most libraries do and was probably gone by the 4th Century when it was supposedly "burned".
-The Library of Alexandria wasn't the only library in the ancient world. the Libraries of Pergamon, Ephesus and Constantinople all competed with it in terms of the size of their collections.
-The Ancient Greeks did not have a concept of "science" the way we see it today. The Greeks did not value experminentation the way modern science does. What the Greeks did could be more accurately described as "natural philosophy".
-The library was not a secular institution but rather an annex to the Museion, the temple to the Muses. The library was in part used to honor the Muses.
-There's no evidence any technology was lost after the library dissapearred, and it is doubtful there was anything crucial in there. Most of what was lost in the library would have been historical records. Invaluable to be sure, but not something that set us back 1,000 years or any such hyperbolic nonsense, merely something that severely limited our understanding of our own past.
marvelfannumber1 That was just my opinion. I know that the Alexandrian library wasn't the only library to exist back then, nor was it the one source of knowledge and information from that time but that doesn't mean that it wasn't an awful thing to happen. Losing that much information is sad, we can never get that back. I never said that it put humanity back thousands of years either, that's just speculation mostly because we have no idea what was in the library we can only assume. As someone who loves history I find it very sad, just as sad as the destruction of any other important land mark whether it held as much information as the library or not. When ever I think about the destruction of Circus Maximus or the Colossus of Rhodes it makes me incredibly sad because those are things we can never get back. They're priceless, there's no replica, there's no way of returning what we lost. The only thing that separates the Alexandrian library from other structures that have been destroyed is that a lot of knowledge and information that could have given us a glimpse into the past went with it.
I love learning knew things from Thoughty2!
Your stuff actually manages in tingling of the mind with new and boggling ideas. Thanx.
That's not the lesson to be learned. The Lesson is don't store all your books in one Library.
how about you do, but copy them and put them in another library?
i mean, imagine having to travel by horse, boat and foot from say Athens to Alexandria just to read the second part of a book?
Correct, and to add to that, also have as many copies of the book as possible and store it around the safest places around the world, just like the concept of the doomsday vault!!
That is exactly what the clever monks in Christian monastaries did. Continously copying and translating all the books in their respective monastaries and then passed on the copies to other monastaries, or sold them, so that the knowledge could be spread and be copied again by someone else in another location, should the monastary with the original book be burned down.
@Rene It's called writing it down again.

pollard1997 Why doesn’t anyone use these books then? It would have helped everyone else a lot if everyone had knowledge from these books.
@@exoticcats6119 Because religious leaders in general do not want an educated populace. It's the only way they can keep selling their fantasies and then use that to control the masses, and to profit from them. It is thought the Vatican vault has lost knowledge kept in it, but I doubt much, if any, has anything to do with the Alexandrian library.
@@hristoitchov It could be very plausible since Vatican was built before Christianity was accepted in Roman empire. And Vatican was always though to be some sacred place. Also for example Obelisk in Vatican is directly from Egypt I don't want to go much deep in to crazy theories but it is a big thought that Pharaohs actually hid themselves in Europe and along that they may have moved Alexandrian library to Vatican. Vatican is also being guarded by Swiss Army and Swiss in general is thought to be run by those Pharaohs but I know its big conspiracy theory. But there is a lot of symbolism considering all of that that connects. For example Christian cross derives from Egyptian cross...
This video is false. There were no scrolls in the library. It was falling into disrepair, and they eventually sent all the scrolls throughout Europe. The fire may have happened, but it definitely did not burn the scrolls.

Hopefully they will also create self-cleaning windows. Also that they'll have a series of lifts so that lift one goes to floor 15 and then a differently positioned lift goes to floor 30 etc so no lift can fall the entire way.

Wow, it almost makes me want to learn more about Mathematics. ... Almost.
That's what I thought on failing to get past the first page of Euclid's book. The differentiation between right angles and obtuse triangles brought up suppressed memories from 4th grade i'd rather not face.
No more FUCKING MATH

Enter, the internet.
So true
Paper is fragile, easily destroyed. Should have used clay tablets instead.

Library of Alexandria trained ancient with stick: "The earth's 4000 miles round!"
I’ve been fascinated with this library ever since I first heard about it. In fact, I was just telling my teenage nephew about it, which I why I searched it on UA-cam. Since me and my nephew watch “forty 2’s” channel all the time already, I shared this video with him lol
The modern library of Alexandria, and the largest and best one, is the internet
It's actually the Web. The Internet is merely a transportation medium for the information contained within the Web.
Best one? 1 solar flare and everything is gone.
@@ThePerfectOwnage you do know that we've been working on a physical archive of any educational material that is online since around 2012 right?
@@discordedwhoofs7873 And how? Books? Anything electronic will be rendered useless.
@@ThePerfectOwnage again a physical archive. Meaning that it's not electronically archived, but written down for the exact reason you just stated.
This would have been a nice opportunity to promote some brand of backup service
Yep Yep
the Sumerians were smarter in using clay tablets. Even today, we don't have a better way of storing info. It will all be lost when the mob returns, and it will.
The library at Baghdad University, burned by Hulagu mongol, warlord in 1258 c.e. was the biggest disaster in the Muslim world..
Yes,the Mongols did the same in Balkh,Afghanistan. Same as Alexander the not-so-great who,when burning down Persepolis destroyed much of the Zoroastrian scriptures,the Zend Avesta.

And anything regarding religion
Nothing personal, pure business
Not a christian myself, but I do feel it gets unjustly judged too often today.
Case in point: Eugenics and the Holocaust. This was a titanic massacre done in the name of science. Darwin's theory of evolution is one of the greatest creations to ever come from science. It kicked opened the doors to the ancient universe theory, united all the fields of geology, biology, and ecology, with all those strange bone/shell shaped rocks we were finding everywhere. It also revealed our place and our behaviors and nature as animals on this planet. But then some people twisted this idea and decided we needed to push evolution further by selectively eliminating traits, people, and whole races that they deemed unfit to breed.
You also have to consider the many innovative, extraordinary, and powerful new ways that science has given us to kill each other: from gatling guns with explosive bullets, to sarin gas and nerve agents, to engineered weaponized superviruses, to single missiles that contain up to 12 thermonuclear warheads that will each target separate cities hundreds of miles apart.
Religion, on the other hand, gave us the Golden Rule. It was the impetus for the quakers (religious evangelists) to lead escaped slaves to the north. It also is the leading source of charity worldwide. The obvious conclusion is that neither religion nor science themselves are "good or bad". It's how Man decides to use them that matters.
CheetahFoxx Religion consistently kidnaps science to wage wars. Pure science does not start wars but with religion to act as tinder, science can be used to spark it. Even thing such as the holocaust were at least partially religion motivated (a major factor)
Science taken in without views created by the existence (or lack there of )of religion has not currently been used to initiate any wars,battles or conflicts.Religion on the other hand well... it didnt just leave a mark is burnt history
It's such a shame the city of Alexadria was not preserved and was destroyed and built over. It would of been a marvel to see now .
not like these double erections ;)
Daniel Asher their was No city of Alexandria it a collective of territories Alexander named after himself , so there was no one Alexandria!
Nick Beaudry No, there was (and still is) a city called Alexandria in Egypt. It's not the only one, but that city definitely existed
Would have*
Half of the area that was known as alexandria in ancient times is now underwater, due to coastal errosion. So it hasn't been bult over exactly. And that is the fate of most of the historically important cities in antiquity, London, Rome atc, are all built over older, often mroe interesting parts of themselves.
He said eerection 4 times in 33 seconds.. i cant bro😂
There were 5-9mn books present in Nalanda University which were burnt down in 1193 by Bakhtiar Khilji and the University burnt for 4-6months.
