Ancient Pergamon
*Includes pictures *Includes ancient accounts *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading The Library of Alexandria was one of the few libraries in the ancient Greek world, which helped ensure that mathematicians, scientists and other scholars from across the Mediterranean traveled to Egypt to study there, and it was so impressive in its size and influence that it left an indelible mark on the world that still reverberates today.
