You would like to see it as this catastrophic out-of-nowhere event that didn't happen in any context of an era that disregarded knowledge because it then justifies your own ignorance. If anything the destruction of that library should have taught, it is that reservoirs of knowledge are fleeting, so learn as much as you can from them while they are still with us.

Putting words in my mouth when it is you who is making assumptions here.

You were very vague and negative in your criticisms so I assumed your position was the same as everyone parroting this idea that the loss of that library was the significant event, and not that no human being retained much of the knowledge in the library.
