What If the Library of Alexandria Never Burnt | Documentary for Sleep

Tonight on Slumber Expeditions, we wander the silent, sun-dappled halls of a world that might have been—a world where the great Library of Alexandria never fell. In this gentle documentary for sleep, we imagine the endless scrolls and accumulated knowledge of the ancient world preserved, not lost. We'll drift through a quiet timeline where the light of learning never dimmed, where the scientific and philosophical revolutions we associate with the Renaissance might have dawned a thousand years earlier. This is not a story of what was lost, but a peaceful dream of what could have been.
