And so there was this huge palace complex that included a temple for the muses, this place where you could walk around and philosophize and think and come up with new ideas. So this place, this museon, which we use for museum today. But this museum, this place of the muse, had within it a library. So that's the Library of Alexandria, the famous Library of Alexandria.

So they had different manuscripts, for example, of Homer, And they saw that there are all kinds of contradictions between these manuscripts of the same work.
