Founded in the 3rd century BCE, it aimed to collect all the knowledge of the time, housing hundreds of thousands of scrolls on various subjects, including literature, science, and philosophy. It was part of a larger research institution known as the Museum of Alexandria. The library attracted scholars from different cultures, including notable figures like Euclid and Archimedes. Unfortunately, the library faced several incidents of destruction over the centuries, leading to the loss of many invaluable texts. Its legacy continues to symbolize the pursuit of knowledge and learning.
