'''The Library''' '''of''' [['''Alexandria''']] in Egypt, was once the largest library in the world. It is usually assumed to have been founded at the beginning of the 3rd century BC during the reign of Ptolemy II of [[Egypt]] after his father had set up the temple of the Muses, the Musaeum.
The library's destruction remains a mystery.
