Today marks the twentieth anniversary of the Great Library of Alexandria coming back to life.
The libraries in Alexandria have been a part of the city’s history. In the time of the Roman occupation, it possessed the most important and largest library in the ancient world. an archive.
Although some historians claim that the Arab conquest eliminated the remaining copies of the library, that is not true at all. The library was lost and totally burned before BC by around 50 years due to the passing of time, battles, and divisions.
The library came to an end, but the dream persisted in the minds and willpower of all the sons of Egypt who were thinkers and intellectuals during the arduous years leading up to the start of the new millennium.
In order to regain its position as more than just a sizable and impressive building, the library relocated close to the location of the old library in October 2002 AD and expanded to house about 300,000 books and references. This created a vast structure where the arts coexist with history, philosophy, and science.
In the largest cultural exchange in history, France donated 500,000 books to the Alexandria Library in November 2009.
The library has become millions of books.
