Guess what? You’re right. Caesar didn’t destory it; the Muslims did.

How uncanny that the BBC made no mention of Muslim morons destroying the Alexandria library. It’s even in Wikipedia-—>>>

However, this version of events is not confirmed in contemporary accounts of Caesar’s visit. In fact, it has been reasonably established that segments of its collection were partially destroyed on several occasions before and after the first century BC. In any case the contents of the library were substantial up until the time of the Muslim sacking of Alexandria in 642.[1]
