Videos!

The idea that videos of the Library of Alexandria might exist never crossed my mind till late. I surfed the net for pictures thinking that as it is a historical library, I might be lucky just to find some pictures. This shows how ignorant I was of the resources available on the web and how I was NOT "thinking out of the box". With a gentle reminder from Linda (my teacher), I unearthed a whole program on The Library of Alexandria from YouTube that was broadcast on the History Channel. This gave a whole new perspective to my topic, because now my readers and I can actually see the details described in the contents. The videos show the great library, although much in ruin, has evidence of past glory.
