Rap – Destruction of Alexandria Library

alexandria-library.jpgT-Stylez, a member of our RapDogs.com hip hop battle forum, said he could write about any subject and wanted people to test him. I gave him the subject of the Destruction of the Library at Alexandria. Here’s what he came up with:

Third century BC, Aristotle student Demetrius of Phaleron
had a idea for a library Which was gonna be so strong
that scribes were so precise that the originals were in the Library
Egypt had the finest library in the world, u gotta agree
Then According to “Plutarch lives” written at the second century
the man known as Caesar, had a conquest a 48 BC
He wanted to burn the library by settin of a fire-in-docks
But it didnt work good so he luckely didnt retire-the-rocks*
But Then there was a emperor named Aurelian with a revolt
It made huge loses but the library still was good controlled
Was it known as the everlasting or as the lucky thing
But in 391 theophilus had something to bring,
Or rather to take cuz he took away alot of the books
Right after that in 641 the muslims took some looks
All the books need to have on of the biggest erases
so Commander Amr bin al’s dilemma then took a big places
Touching the books you mention, if what is written in them agrees with the Book of God,
they are not required; if it disagrees, they are not desired. Destroy them therefore hot.”
Now a days some historians say its just a false tale
If u ask me, this library was unable to fail
