The Forgotten Mysteries podcast begins with the story of The Library of Alexandria, an ancient center of knowledge that housed hundreds of thousands of scrolls containing wisdom from across the known world.
However, the library was destroyed, and the true cause remains a mystery. Some theories suggest it was burned during Julius Caesar’s campaign in 48 BCE. Others blame the destruction on the Christian purge of pagan knowledge under Emperor Theodosius or the Muslim conquest of Egypt under Caliph Umar in 642 CE.
Could any of this lost knowledge still exist? Some believe that parts of the library’s collection were secretly copied and preserved in monasteries or hidden archives. If the library had survived, human civilization might have advanced much faster in science and technology.
This episode leaves us with one crucial question: How much of humanity’s knowledge has been lost to history?
