The Library of Alexandria burning indeed tragic, but the vast majority of the works it held were not the only copies. So few individual works of what burned were truly lost, as most important pieces had long been duplicated and spread elsewhere. Factor in the fact that the library had also been in decline due to various factors for centuries prior, and the impact of it ceasing to exist has been almost certainly overblown in modern times. That said, there are most likely items not duplicated that we lost forever, but, again, most important texts has been copied and kept elsewhere by then.

The one about napoleon is fake. There wasn’t snow, he had a tummy ache and didn’t give the signal to his troops on time. Mysteries at the Museum teaches you a lot.

What’s an accurate estimation of how much history was lost in the burning of the library of Alexandria?

even if the library of Alexandria had not burned down Christianity would not have allowed its teachings to be shared, so it still would have been lost.

Oswald missed and we’re expected to believe he hit a moving target, without leaning out the window exposing himself.

Image 1 - JFK saved our butts. Image 2 - destroyed on purpose, this was necessary to delete the flood from our history.
