I kinda follow the flow of information.

I have a feeling much of the great knowledge passed from memphis later to find itself in constantinople. Once there a similar history probably repeated. Bagdad, once known as alexandria became the jewel of knowledge for the islamic world. Having collected the works of antiquity from all over.

Then it was sacked and truely burned

Hunt and gather
Loot and pillage.
Rinse
Repeat
Ad infanituum

I am just looking at this rinse and repeat cyclesthat we seem to be living in today.

Iconoclasty and indentureship seem to be those two cycles.

Hunt and gather in the form of museums and libraries

Burn and loot for war, civil unrest, natural disaster?

Brasils national museum 2014 ? Egyptian museum mid late 2000s? Iraq museum 2004?

Burning and looting

Germany 1930s?
Mccarthy era america?
Sack of washington dc 1814?

Catholic conversion of the americas16th 17th 18th centuries?

Spanish inquisition?

Russian iconoclasty 20th century?

Middle eastern iconoclasty first millenium ad?

Bronze statue recycling reneissance?

Burning of rome?

The reign of pharoah akhenaten?

The bronze age collapse?

@CuriousFury
Good stuff. Yes, they all qualify as library burnings.

Alexander had cities named alexandria throughout the empire. I feel badly for your poor or selective education.

We just choose to only call memphis alexandria for some reason

Iconoclasty

It was burned down by either the Romans or Muslim invaders, not the Monguls, and has nothing to do with the Abbasid libraries in Baghdad, which were destroyed by the Mongols.
This post is absolute nonsense.

@AdrianRainbow look it up bagdad was named alexandria. Google will get you there

@AdrianRainbow though i always get attila the hun confused with the mongols in my memories

@AdrianRainbow i am a phoenetic speller so the difference in a u or o pesters me. Kinda like the difference between brain and brian.

@CuriousFury Even if Baghdad was called Alexandria, which it wasn't, the library of Alexandria was part of the Alexander Research Inst' at the port of Alexander in Egypt, and there are over 1000 years between the 'Siege of Baghdad' and the burning of the library at Alexandria.
You're a fucking idiot.

@AdrianRainbow yeah youre right i am not very good in bed, but you know i am right on this point on alexandria. I only imply that historical events may have had locations changed or exactly repeated and you shit your shorts. Go change your diaper.

@AdrianRainbow nice reedit. Dig a little deaper. You may not recognize the spelling, but bagdad was named alexandria and it was not a hard push for me to recognize it phoenetically though i had to search more than one page to confirm.

Ever heard of algebra or alchemy. Maybe you have heard of chemistry. I may be stupid, but you are the idiot.

@AdrianRainbow i know you are but what am i

@AdrianRainbow knowledge is passed from loser to winner. The "library of alexandria" was the memphis library. Egyptian knowledge expanded by the hellens, claimed by the romans siphoned off ultimately to constantinople dissiminated in the crusades and ultimately ending up in bagdad.

You may have to start using the wayback machine, since your "types" are book burners.

@CuriousFury LOL, yeah sure it was, Poindexter.

@CuriousFury LOL, if they gave you an enema, they could bury you in a matchbox.

@AdrianRainbow awwwww. Thank you so much. I havent been called a dexterous student maybe since highschool, possibly college. ‍⛈

@AdrianRainbow you sleep with dogs because thats the only bitch that will listen to your whining.

Ahhhhh. The decay of civil discourse. It only took a chapter of your hostile blather to draw me in.

Yummm

@AdrianRainbow the difference between you and me is i would say all this laughing in your face and you wouldnt be able to control your violence befor you bit through your lip.

@AdrianRainbow i still would have a coffee with you.
