[ WP ] Humanity finds the real reason the Library of Alexandria was destroyed .

The Library of Alexandria. Tons of lost knowledge, accessible now. With new technology, we can take a single point in history, take a frozen frame of it, and store it. It took 15 years to render and 10 to sort the information, now we can start reading it, find why it was turned to nothing. It's a lot of information, we'll be lucky if it's done within our children's lifetimes. That is why I leave this note to you, whomever my grandson is to be. You will study the last of it and know why it was reduced and lost.

 As I read this, I stared in awe at the wall of hard drives my father just unveiled to me. My father after giving me the note spoke, `` I do n't have much longer with this disease and all, so I wanted to show you the family project. Well. It's us and nine others that work together, but ours is the project lead. We're about 75 % done, and I hope you can finish the last bit. We started with a frame of the entire structure. It was about 4.9 Exabytes, and we've in sorting turned it into about 60 PB of PDFs, separating the books from the actual structure. In my last 10 years, I will continue the work with you so you can understand it as well as me.'' 
 
 Needless to say, I was baffled at the scale of the project, the work put in. And it'd be a lie if I said i was n't interested at all. I'll start making my own work on this and finally learn, by going through every book.

 Fourty years. I had n't thought it would take that long, but here's my final journal entry. I am the grandson of the founder of this, and I know now why this library is no more. I read throughout everything, and pieced the knowledge. What I discovered is extraordinary, science beyond the known, science beyond the bounds of physics, science which was destroyed for heresy against god. What this is, is theories on magic. Magic, how it works. How it's used. How it can be automated. How it can override the basic rules of physics, creating and destroying matter. I see now why it was destroyed, as humanity can not be trusted with this power. This is why my house caught fire today, and why you the police will see all the others who helped be removed so that this information can not be spread.
