Great to see some actual images from inside great library of Alexandria before it burned in 48 BCE. What’s everyone reading? I think it’s Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy. Good choice Egypt had two rival queens, Cleopatra VII & Arsinoe IV, at that point #womenwhoruledtheworld
