Very groovy.
Very groovy.Archaeologists have found what they believe to be the site of the Library of Alexandria, often described as the world's first major seat of learning.
A Polish-Egyptian team has excavated parts of the Bruchion region of the Mediterranean city and discovered what look like lecture halls or auditoria.

The Library of Alexandria was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. It was located in Alexandria, Egypt and was founded by Ptolemy I Soter in the 3rd century BC.
The exact fate of the Library of Alexandria is still debated among historians, but it is believed that it was destroyed by either Julius Caesar in 48 BC or during the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 BC. Some evidence suggests that parts of the library may have survived for a period of time after its destruction.
While there is no concrete evidence of the Library of Alexandria being discovered, there have been several archaeological excavations in Alexandria that have uncovered artifacts and structures believed to be associated with the library. However, the exact location and remains of the library have not been confirmed.
If the Library of Alexandria were to be found, it would be a monumental discovery as it was known to contain a vast collection of ancient knowledge and texts from various civilizations. Its discovery could potentially shed light on many aspects of ancient history and literature, and provide insight into the development of civilizations.
It is difficult to determine the likelihood of the Library of Alexandria being found as it has been over 2000 years since its destruction. However, with advancements in technology and ongoing archaeological efforts, there is always a possibility of uncovering new information and potentially finding remnants of the library.
