Alexandar wasn't Greek, he like his father Filip II of Macedon doesn't understand nor spoke the Hellenic language neither the Macedonians did, you are saying he united the Greek in one nation which one exactly and how when in that time there was no such thing as Greek nation but it's Hellenes and they were organised in a city states while Macedonia was a kingdom a monarchy. he was trying to unite the world not the Hellenes only. next the Hellenic people called him the barbarian from the north (barbarian is someone who doesn't understand and speak the Hellenic language and doesn't believe in Hellenic gods and wasn't brought up under a Hellenic culture, we all know Alexandar and his father were using translators while communicating with the Hellenes at the time) they didn't accept him as a king, why 10. 000-20. 000 Hellenic soldiers were fighting on the side of Persia and against Alexandar if he was their king and if your answer is for the love of money i don't agree. next why in Macedonians tombs there is not a single inscription on Hellenic language inside not a single word because Macedonians at the time doesn't had a written language but only spoken one and that's where all the confusion is coming from. even the British national TV sad Alexandar is Macedonian it was on the quiz Who wants to be a millionaire where the players choose the answer that he was Greek and they failed.

_This woman really thinks all of this multicultural, multi lingual information stored in one and the same place was all because of Alexander and Greece and not Persia, which we know were accepting of other cultures and other languages. We know what Greeks though of other cultures, Barbars. In fact the official language of the Persian Empire was Persian, Aramaic and Babylonian and not just a single language. People are insane for believing that it was the Greeks that began the exchange of ideas. Alexanders empire lasted only 10 years where as the Persian Empire lasted for two centuries. It's just not logical. Their respective civilizations are almost mirrored by their modern states. Greece needs help from germany to save them from. You guessed it. their own economy. I know a lot of Iranians and all of them are academic people and got straight A's in school. I wouldn't say it's because of their DNA but certainly their culture and don't come here and say that oH bUt GrEeKs hEllEnIzEd ThE mIddLe EasT! ThAt CuLturE yoUre talkIng AbouT iS GreEk. Greece was this small corner in the world and Persia was all the known world. Like cold objects do not transfer heat to a hotter object, Greece's inferior culture is not transferred to Persia more vast culture. _

Imagine how much more knowledge how much more advanced we would be if this knowledge hadnt been lost to us. Even now in many parts of the world we lose knowledge. Oral histories collected around the world would benefit us. What we see as folk stories have grains of history, geography, social development and so much more. We need to listen to and save the stories from our parents, grandparents and other family members. Do you know how you got your name, where your family came from, what your great grandfather did for a living? I have so many questions I wished I had asked my parent and had the chance to ask theirs. Dont wait ask them now. They will appreciate that you care to ask. When you take pictures put on them the names, dates, and places otherwise you wind up going through albums looking at pictures not knowing anything about something that might be an important family event. Remember pictures were rarer so fewer were taken. So you you might not be aware your looking at a picture of your great great grandparents.

According to Wikipedia, the widespread modern belief that the Library of Alexandria was burned once and cataclysmically destroyed is incorrect; the Library actually declined gradually over the course of several centuries. If there was a single event which put an end to the Library's existence it was the invasion of Egypt by Queen Zenobia of Palmyra and the Roman counter-invasion between 270 and 275 AD, that probably destroyed whatever remained of the Library, if it still existed at that time. It therefore seems that no library existed in 391 AD for the Christians to destroy, and certainly not at the time of the Muslim conquest of Egypt in the seventh century. As for Hypatia, she was certainly murdered by a Christian mob in 415 AD, but how could she have been the guardian of the Library of Alexandria if it did not exist in her lifetime?

Knowledge is a very powerful tool, the deeper my understanding is about ancient world and it's idols and what they expirienced in their perspective times. On my part there's a great need to seek for more details. However, noticed most shared one thing in common; inmense power, and knowledge they use as a collective tool to rule their worlds, not quite sure if it's implied. Although I'm beggining to think with great power comes great responsability meant paying their dues for attaining such power, and as history shown all or most did expirienced great deal of pain. Not quite sure I fancy knowledge and power or maybe just reading about it, but still sad tracking the end of an Era. As well the end of great source of knowledge Alexandria.

I remember I couldn't stop crying when I first heard of the story of Hypatia.
Let's make several copies of the cloud on several different planets to secure what we have now.
Alexander was respectful of all religions. He purportedly even went to the temple in Jerusalem to make an offering to the God of war that no doubt aided him in his conquest of Persia. But his tolerance for all religions was eventually codified in what we today know as freedom of religion. That all changed when Constantine ushered in the dark ages by making a one state religion for the empire.

There is no way that bull sarcophagus is decorated by ancient's, I could do better glyphs in primary school.
If that so called scholar told me they were ancient I'd have laughed.
Why hasn't the time line been rewritten yet.
If the pharaohs built the gt pyramid it would be covered in glyphs and there would be some wall depicting it's creation.
The fact that half of the information is hidden by certain archaeologists as it doesn't fit there life's work.
At a punt it's pre cataclysm so it's older than 12, 000.

I would love to go to Egypt and work on an ancient archaeological site. That would be a dream come true! Taposiris Magna would be a cool place since Dr. Martinez think shes found the tombs of Cleopatra there. I personally think she & Mark Antony are under the water in Alexandria, never to be found. That was where her home was- any place would be cool to take part in tho!

29: 52 Literally no one thought this! Everyone knew that the brain in the most important part of the body. After thousands of years, it is certain that they figured out that if you - injure your head - bad things happen. The people back then where just as clever as we are today - if not more.

Theres a bit of misrepresentation at the start of this doc. Athens, a backwater before Alexander the Great? I think not. And insinuating that he conquered vast swathes of the Middle East before taking Egypt is disingenuous as well. but does play up the importance of the focus of the doc.

hmm makes me think that the great Nile was used as a cement truck to spin a wooden drum full of a cement mixture to create centrifugal force and pump the cement then into box molds that were then moved up and placed into position for the blocks of the great pyramid. yep that's how

These actions taken by evangelical christians then, are eerily similar to the present day evangelicals in america. Seeking absolute power over everyone and everything. Prime examples of how we do not need religions in our society to progress forward.

From beginning of tis video Housed all the knowledge of the World Hmmmm. Actually it housed much for a big part of the World but not all of it. Not all of the World had contact with Alexandria. Overall I like these history documentaries that the lady does.

Religion poisons everything. Death cults, pining for the thing they ultimately fear the most. Deeply ignorant and uneducated, the emotions of an underdeveloped child, hating poetry, literature, music and art. These are the death heads of humanity.

I remember being crestfallen as a child when I read of this. The library, for me, was the repository of all knowledge and to know something as wonderful as that was destroyed, was inconceivable.
