But the movie doesn't really depict the actual emperors very accurately. But he gets tired of it. So he just comes down to Alexandria on like a royal visit and executes 25,000 people in the city of Alexandria and burns down parts of it. So he burned down the library for the third time.

And then there was another emperor named Aurelian when a local Alexandrian declared himself the new Egyptian pharaoh. I think he was a real Egyptian. He declared himself like the newest pharaoh and he created this revolt. And then Aurelian had to come and put the revolt down and he burned down the library again. So this is – we're getting close to like 300 AD at this point.

Now, in 365 AD, there was a huge earthquake that was off of the coast of Crete, I think, which is the most southern Greek isle. It's where the Minoans lived. I believe it's there or it's off the coast of Cyprus. And so that earthquake just reverberates down to Egypt and this massive tsunami destroys the entire city of Alexandria. And it said it was so catastrophic that –

I think it's Pliny the Elder or Pliny the Younger comes down in a rescue mission from Italy and he comes to Alexandria and he records that 50,000 people in the city are missing because of, you know, the wave that gets pushed in and that all of the giant boats, these are giant, giant, gigantic boats in Alexandria's harbor, are sitting on top of all the rooftops in the city.

And it's after this point that the location of Alexander's body and the location of Alexandria's library just... Completely go missing. So so they're both utterly destroyed. And most likely, all of the giant stones that were used to build the city were repurposed for, you know, other things.

He just has these amazing experiences and
