nancylebovLibrary of Alexandria found, or at least a very early university
"Archaeologists have found what they believe to be the site of the Library of Alexandria, often described as the world's first major seat of learning.
A Polish-Egyptian team has excavated parts of the Bruchion region of the Mediterranean city and discovered what look like lecture halls or auditoria."
It's a major pleasure to get some good news from the Middle East, and I'm hoping they'll find books that we don't already have copies of.
