Who are Library of Alexandria? The Library of Alexandria was a renowned institution of learning in ancient Alexandria, Egypt, established in the 3rd century BCE. It was a part of the larger Mouseion, a research institute dedicated to the Muses. The library is famous for its vast
collection of scrolls and its role as a center for scholarship, but it is also shrouded in mystery, particularly regarding its destruction.
What is Egypt? Egypt, officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and southwest corner of Asia by a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula. Egypt is a Mediterranean country bordered by the Gaza Strip and Israel to
the northeast, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south, and Libya to the west. Across the Gulf of Aqaba lies Jordan, across the Red Sea lies Saudi Arabia, and across the Mediterranean lie Greece, Turkey and Cyprus, although none share a land border with Egypt.
