Summary

The Ancient Egyptian city of Alexandria was regarded as the capital of knowledge and learning, all because of the city's great library that held documents from across the world. But what happened to it and where would we be if all of its knowledge hadn't been lost? To answer these questions and more we're joined by our dear friend Alasdair Tremblay-Birchall. This is the 6th most voted for topic of Block 2024!

This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 15:51 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
