A Polish-Egyptian team has unearthed the site of the fabled University of Alexandria

Isn't that an oxymoron?

[Drammach]

The fates of the library and university are largely unknown. Parts of both might have been destroyed in Julius Caesar's war against Pompey. They might even have been leveled when the Arabs took over the city in 641, their locations lost to posterity.

I always thought the Library was burned down, destroyed by a roman soldier..
Here, the article says it's fate is "unknown"..

Is the destruction of the Library just legend?

[R. Scott]

It would be great if they could find a hidden wing of the library - with books intact.

A Polish-Egyptian team has unearthed the site of the fabled University of Alexandria, home of Archimedes, Euclid and a host of other scholars from the era when Alexandria dominated the Mediterranean.

OK, that's half the battle. Now if we can just bury some of our modern universities for a couple thousand years...

But why does it say "LATIMES" when in fact it is linked to the Salt Lake City Tribune???
