The Arabs destroyed the last of it and Julius Caesar destroyed part of it( not intentionally) during the siege of Alexandria. Im not ready to clear the mob led by the Bishop of Alexandria of all blame are you saying that mob didn't exist?

[DeaconBenjamin]

Did mobs exist in Alexandria in the time of Theophilus? Most probably. Did the "seven wonders of the world" library exist in Alexandria at that time? The evidence does not appear to support such a belief.

There was no Library of Alexandria for the Arabs to destroy, had they been so inclined. In fact, the Arabs preserved all of the Greek learning they could find, and translated it (along with Persian and Indian learning) into Arabic.

Christian destructive efforts - whether purely the action of mobs, or organized by Church leaders - against pagan temples, pagan learning, and pagan philosophers - is massively documented and undeniable. Whether one particular Churchman is to be blamed for the destruction of the Library, or not, is beside the point.

The Christian mob destroying the library is as real as Serbian rape camps or throwing out babies from incubators by Iraqis in Kuwait. And Muslim barbarians led by Omar (the real culprits) are as civilised as KLA thugs.
