Who Burned Down The Alexandria's Library?

Umar ordered it burned down. It was said that the Nile ran black with ink from the books and soot that crept into the Nile.

Definitely seems like a Muslim thing to do

Feels like blaming Julius is just another blame whitey thing

>Burning down a library would give them loads of books which allowed them to advance sciences and mathematics and creating the foundation of various sciences which would later Cause the Renaissance and be advanced after the Renaissance?
Fair logic mate.

>>133976559
Brits did the same thing when they burned down the library of congress.

>>133979784
>Islamic science caused the renaissance
Delusional shitskin detected

Theodosius ended it.

>>133979925
It's called Arabic Science.Islam is not affiliated.

>>133979925
Islam was way ahead on the sciences for a long time, Iberian physicians (Spain was mostly Muslim back then) were extremely coveted by European royalty (Jewish ones too.)

I don't think the Alexandria library had anything to do with this, they just didnt blame a majority of ailments on evil spirits, demons, and god.

The dark ages were caused by the Islamic boom that allowed them to dominate the Mediterranean preventing trade as well as constantly raiding for shit to steal and women/slaves to take.

The burning of the library was shit but it didnt cause the knowledge hole. Only reason we got some of the books from the Arabs was that like .01% actually kept the books when raiding as opposed to just burning them all because muh Quaran is all I need.

The Renaissance started when Genovese marines were allowed to leave Contantinople, when the Ottoman's seized it. They took with them many classical Roman books that were lost in the Western half of the former empire that the Byzantines preserved. This is not even disputed among scholars.

>The dark ages were caused by
The dark ages were caused by the fall of Western Rome that cut off trade in the Med., after 476 AD and were widely over exaggerated.

>>133980039
Islamic is a more accurate term. You aren't an Arab just because you bent over and allowed the muslims to conquer you.
Most of the science done in the Islamic world was done in Persia and other conquered territories, and not by Arabs

>>133980547
The Dark Ages also only affected Western Europe and was largely over by the time the Franks assumed hegemony in Western Europe.

>>133976559
false flag

The knowledge is in the vatican vaults

>>133976559
Religous extremists probably burned it down, of what religion, I do not know.

>>133976559
Eh. People today don't understand the choice that was made. Do you know what kind of books that library collected? It was a library full of religious fictions. If any of them had been true and necessary, God would have protected them.

>>133976559
What a shame. Literally the entire recorded history of humanity was in that library. This is why there is so much guesswork right now about our ancient past. I'm sure whateer information was stored there would have shed a lot of light on our history.

The remaining knowledge is in the vatican. Muzzies will be burning that soon enough too

>>133976559
The muslims did it.

>>133976559

OY VEYYYYY
BURN IT DOWN
THE GOYIM KNOWS

>>133981048
All the most valuable were stolen and stored in the vatican ...not what was left.

The fire was to cover up the theft and prevent repatriation

>>133980547
>476 AD
Isn't this around the same time of Mohamed, and Islamic expansion into north Africa? starving out what was left of western rome?

Likely the usual suspects.. Whatcha doin' rabbi?

I know, we probably could have been a bit more circumspect in that regard, sorry...

Ancient history is full of fake ruins and made-up stories. Alexandria was probably never much more than a pirate port. "Ancient Greek" is Koine, a pirate dialect.

>>133976559
Alexandria library was almost already empty at the time of its destruction, it was proven that they have been selling off their most valuable manuscripts across Levant decades before its destruction.

>Umar
That would make sense where the Islamic Golden Age came from, they literally made some copies and burned the rest.

>>133976559
The library had multiple fires and at different points in history. Only the Muslims burned EVERYTHING down in one go.

>>133985367
no it was the jews
