We all know the story: a single, catastrophic fire destroyed the Library of Alexandria, wiping out all the knowledge of the ancient world. Julius Caesar, a Christian mob, a Muslim Caliph... the list of suspects is long.

But what if that story is a lie?

What if there was no single fire? What if the greatest library in history wasn't murdered in a blaze of glory... but died a slow, agonizing death by a thousand cuts?

Join us as we open history's greatest cold case. We'll separate fact from fiction, track down the real culprits (the answer will surprise you), and investigate the most haunting question of all: What knowledge was actually lost?

The truth is far more complex, and more terrifying, than the myth.
