https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numa_Pompilius
Numa was said to have authored several "sacred books" in which he had written down divine teachings, mostly from Egeria and the Muses. Plutarch[9] (citing Valerius Antias) and Livy[10] record that at his request he was buried along with these "sacred books", preferring that the rules and rituals they prescribed be preserved in the living memory of the state priests, rather than preserved as relics subject to forgetfulness and disuse. About half of these books—Plutarch and Livy differ on their number—were thought to cover the priesthoods he had established or developed, including the flamines, pontifices, Salii, and fetiales and their rituals. The other books dealt with philosophy (disciplina sapientiae). According to Plutarch,[9] these books were recovered some four hundred years later (in reality almost five hundred years, i. e. in 181 BC according to Livy 40:29:3-14) at the occasion of a natural accident that exposed the tomb. They were examined by the Senate, deemed to be inappropriate for disclosure to the people, and burned. Dionysius of Halicarnassus[11] hints that they were actually kept as a very close secret by the pontifices.

>b-b-but Caesar...
Yes, when Caesar sieged the city he gave explicit instructions not to touch the library and some dumbfuck legionary got the bright idea to set a fire right next to it and said legionary then got executed by Caesar for being a dumbfuck.
Oh, and let's not forget the Byzantine library being literally chopped up into pieces and cut and pasted into twelve fucking books because the Library was "too big for God to read".
