World's First Library The Super Complete


Library derived from the word "Library" which means the Book or Books. According Sulistyo Basuki in his book Introduction to Library Science says that "limits the library is a room, part of a building, or the building itself that is used for storing books or other publications which are usually stored with the layout of a particular arrangement to use the reader, not to sell . 'So it can be concluded that the library will never be far away from books.
From the above explanation can be understood that the library is very fundamental in education. Because the library is always associated with books, and books will always be associated with science. In the library hall a scientist can look for references discovery - the discovery that found its predecessor, from the library one can develop insight into his thinking, there is also someone can someone can do a small research and observations and then load it back in the form of new or useful information for himself and others.

At that time the rulers of Egypt so besemangat promote the Library and Science, even in manuscript, Rome says that the King of Egypt's royal treasure spent to buy books from all over the country to collect 442,800 books and 90,000 other form of summary is not voluminous.

He also ordered soldiers to search every ship that entered in order to obtain the manuscript. If there is a script that is found, they keep the original and return a copy. According to some sources, when Athens lent manuscripts original Greek classical drama is invaluable to Ptolemy III, he promised to pay the security deposit and copy it. But the king instead save the original, do not take money back guarantee, and return a copy
But the golden story only became history. Is ketuka Roman conquest led by Julius Caesar in 48 BC. The Romans destroyed 400,000 books burned to ash using a useless. World of science was very sorry for having lost one of the best sources of knowledge at that time. But eventually the Emperor, Julius Caesar to apologize, and instead he sent Marx Antonio to award 200,000 books from Rome to the Queen of Egypt at the time, Cleopatra, and from this is their story continues. But the magnificent library which is in Egypt and is never again like old times - the keemasanya.

Since the combustion, the Library Iskadariah solah neglected. In fact, almost become ancient artifacts only. However, UNESCO initiated to cooperate with the Egyptian government, rebuilding the library with the history of the largest in history. And this development began in the 1990s. This development spend no less than U.S. $ 220 million. U.S. 120 million on the responsibility of the government of Egypt and the rest on the responsibility of international assistance from other States. Finally after nearly dormant for 20 Century, Iskandriah Library (Bibliotheca Alexandrina) stands majestic and unique. The main building is round sloping roof, buried in the soil.
In the front roof line, created a pool to neutralize the temperature libraries, consisting of five floors in the ground, this library can contain about 8 million books.

On the wooden floor that is wide enough that displayed various ancient prototype printing machine and various wall paintings. The library is always full of visitors, while in Alexandria is not much like the university in Cairo. This shows the high interest in reading Egyptian society and the library was destroyed Julius Caesar is now a tourist attraction as one of the Giza Pyramids, Mummies, Karnax Temple, Tombs of the Pharaohs in Luxor or Cairo Museum that holds the Tutankhamun's gold deposits.
