I sometimes fantasize we will find a ship with sealed amphorae containing backups of the library…

This may sound ignorant but I completely forgot there was a Lighthouse *and* Library of Alexandria that were both destroyed.

The fact that so many of yall have never heard of the Lighthouse of Alexandria is shocking to me… Literally one of the most famous structures ever built
