i think the burning of the library at Alexandria is perhaps the greatest single calamity to befall mankind. the medicinal/historical/philosophical setbacks have probably been incalculable.
coachalan,
if you're implying that the evidence shows that the hebrews were not in fact the builders of the pyramids, i think that is the consensus among archeologists. the bible makes no reference to the pyramids... only that the hebrew people were living as slaves doing forced labor. the notion that they contributed to building the pyramids is just a silly tradition and isn't grounded in scripture. i thought perhaps that this was part of your reasoning, sorry if this isn't relevant to your original post.
