If you are a history geek you would have definitely heard about Alexandria founded by Alexander the great. The name Alexandria is famous among historians because of the famous library and the light house which was considered one of the seven wonders of ancient time. The ancient library that was burned by Julius Ceaser held back humanity by 1000 years. The library was not just an ordinary library, it consisted of documents from famous Greek mathematicians and was a research centre of the ancient times. If you ask a historian which historical moment they mourn the most, the answer will be the day the library of Alexandria was burnt. Now the library is a disc shaped structure which is an iconic place to visit.
