Everyone knows the story: one night, one fire, and the greatest library of the ancient world turned to ash. But historians say it did not happen that way. This video puts five famous suspects on trial: Julius Caesar, King Ptolemy VIII, Emperor Aurelian, Bishop Theophilus, and Caliph Omar. Along the way you will meet Hypatia, Galen, and the scholars who made Alexandria the brain of the ancient world.

The stories of the ships' books and the Athens deposit come from Galen, who wrote centuries later. The Caliph Omar story is widely regarded as a later legend. Historians such as Roger Bagnall argue the decline was gradual. This video says where the evidence is firm and where it is not. The Archivist tells the untold stories the world forgot.
