Scenes from Egypt, 2003
Interior of the Great Library at Alexandria, May 2003. The new building was constructed close to the site of the historic Great Library of Alexandria, renowned for its extensive collections prior to its destruction a millennium ago. Historians are divided on the cause of the first library's demise. Many blame a series of fires (88 B. C., 47 B. C., 273 A. D., and 645 A. D.) Photo by Phil Roberts
