Where would we be today if the library of Alexandria hadn't

the soviets would have won and we'd all be living in paradise

Entirely made up of Roman successor states.

Allegedly the library had a steam engine, and at the time Egypt was conquered only Rome could've produced a steam train and tracks

Lol, you don't just go from an ancient pleb tier tech to steam trains and shit. People have no clue how technology develops, they think the only thing lacking is the schematics and shit, when in reality it's about infrastructure, available technology, society, culture, resources, motivation, intentions. The Greeks had a functional steam engine and they didn't do shit with it.

Same place as we are now. The library of Alexandra was already in decay by the time the fire occurred, such that almost nothing was destroyed that didn't already have copies else where in the world.

Exactly where we are now.

THIS.

we would have at least a dozen of other authors and plays of the ancient world. Maybe a better grasping of the natural world but overall nothing would change at all.

If constantiople had took all the books for use then maybe we could see a major difference, but they were too busy arguing with based nestorius and fapping to irl cuck porn

How do they mine the coal? How do they lay the tracks? Was there any motivation for this invention to be used? Prove to me that the only thing preventing Rome from building sophisticated railway systems was a lack of a steam engine design.
Keep in mind that most trading in this time was done by sea.
