seomthing else to think about, a theory that i learned about in my history of ancient civilizations class thinks that if it weren't for the near utter destruction of everything in the library of alexandria back when ceaser invaded (fighting marc anthony and cleopatra, i believe), the world could be much more advanced than it currently is. it's thought that the destruction of all that info set the world back as much as 1500 years. having it may have prevented the dark ages, even? who knows?
