I think I remember that Caesar burned Alexandria or part of it. They then moved to a temple called The Serapeum which was burned about 391 AD by Pope Theophilus’s decree. I may have misspelled some of these words and I think there were more instances of burning before the Pope's decree.

You did spell his name correct. For the record, though, he was a Pope in the Coptic Church of Alexandria.
