.....that they'd find a major part of the ancient library of Alexandria, how do you think that it would affect us?

Would they have as big a book library as our forum members...?
Or an ancient medicinal elixir that has proven to kill 99.9 % of modern anti-biotic resistant MRSA bacteria
At it's peak, the library possessed nearly a half million scrolls and here's something interesting to know: when any ship came into harbor, the authorities seized any books aboard ship for immediate duplication. The book's owner was given a copy and the library retained the original - per orders of the Pharaoh.The simple fact that we had absolutely no idea what was in the library so it is not unreasonable to theorize that loss of knowledge could have had a significant impact. However if it was like the major libraries today, there is a good chance that it possessed a number of one off items.
I'm not sure if this is the same one or not, I recall hearing about the one I mentioned coming from a book at least 1,000 years old. It was pretty interesting. The point I was making was is that knowledge was not in a book, we might never have rediscovered it.Not sure if we're talking about the same thing here David...
