Most of the books hadn’t even been colored yet.

I heard a lot of the books weren't even colored in yet.

Oh wait you're talking about the Alexandria in Egypt. My bad.

An easy 1000 years.

If that library had not burned would have had the moon landing in the year 1500.

Some. But Alexandria was well into decline at the time of the fire and most of the important scrolls/manuscripts were either removed or copied.

Still a huge loss.

Probably not much. Most of the library wasn't the only copy.

I want to know what what happened to the papers the government carted out of Tesla's hotel room the day he died.

I often think about how much further along we would be as a civilization if we did not have the entitlement programs.
