When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other priests said I was daft to build a temple on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one... stayed up!

@@alanhilder1883 That's a popular myth, but the reality is much more believable -- and mundane. Continued support for such a large library and its vast collection costs a *lot* of money, and the governments of Ptolomey's Egypt -- and then Roman Egypt -- were expected to pay for it in a time when very few people could read, at all, and everything had to be copied, laboriously (and thus, expensively) by hand. So, yeah. The Great LIbrary of Alexandria wasn't destroyed in a spectacular fire (although it certainly experienced its share of blazes). It was destroyed by *budget cuts*. Just to get an idea of the scale, the U.S. Library of Congress has an annual budget that tops $800 million. Now, the U.S. enjoys an advanced, post-industrial economy, so nearly a billion dollars may not seem like all that much -- especially compared to the nation's grotesquely huge annual military expenditures. However, given that so few people perceive it as directly beneficial to their own lives -- and, in fact, a significant fraction of the U.S. population has demonstrated unceasing hostility to factual historical records, scientific discovery and any sort of rational world-views -- one could easily see how a big, expensive library could become the victim of budget cuts. And that's in the most advanced nation of the modern world. Compared to the modern U.S., Egypt during the decline and fall of the Roman Empire was increasingly filled with fearful, desperate people. Small wonder the governments of Egypt just let the place go.

Cleopatra's sister was sent to Ephesus to live at the temple because she kept trying to overthrow Cleopatra.

So he sent someone to do the job, who reportedly killed Arsinoe on the steps of the Temple of Artemis.

Has its own power grid and generation. Road signs in metric (in TX!) due to number of international patients. Adjacent to museum district, a passenger rail (in TX!) and the Houston Zoo with dedicated entrance from TX Children's . The whole area and landscaping was meant to cater to patients and families.
