Hi everyone,
This week on Arthur Revives the Past, we are traveling back to 34 BC to walk the streets of the most sophisticated city of the ancient world at its absolute peak: Alexandria.
Most people only know about the tragic fire of the Great Library, but Alexandria was so much more. It was a universal metropolis of 600,000 people , home to the towering Pharos Lighthouse , and the exact place where the steam engine was invented 1,800 years before the Industrial Revolution!
In our latest AI reconstruction, we explore its breathtaking marble palaces and uncover the real reasons this marvel fell. We break down everything from the apocalyptic tsunami of 365 AD that drowned Cleopatra's capital to the slow poison of people who feared knowledge they couldn't control.
Make sure to turn on the subtitles, and let me know in the comments which lost city we should bring back to life next!
Until the next journey,
Arthur
