Right next to that would be a place called the Museon, which was, so the library is a library, but the Museon is a university.

So that's where all of your scholars would be getting other people who want to study.

They get together, they run experiments, they're teaching things.

And then connected to that would be like lecture hall after lecture hall after lecture hall.

There's a place in modern day, if you go to Egypt, you can go to Alexandria and see a portion of the library still there.

It's called Komeldika.

How do you spell it?

K-O-M-E-L-D-I-K-A.

And you can see some of the lecture halls.

These are from later periods, but these would have connected to the overall campus of Alexandria.

So you'd walk down these alleyways that are covered up.

So you see these little pillars that are standing?

There were huge...

Sort of half circular awnings that would... Stone awnings and wood awnings that would sit over that.

So everywhere you would go would be fully shaded.

This was not out in the open.

There was a whole roof over this that would allow natural light in.

So you can walk around the whole city...

And the campus itself kind of spread across a large part of the central city.

But in Alexandria itself, you'd see scholars coming and going and people learning.
