Alexandria and Alexandrian Library

Alexandria and Alexandrian Library

City of Alexandria


The city of Alexandria was constructed on a lavish scale, to be the world center of commerce, culture and learning.The city was graced with broad avenues thirty meters wide, elegant architecture and statuary. There was an enormous light-house, the Pharos there, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, as well as Alexander’s monument tomb.

But the greatest marvel of Alexandria was its library and its associated museum (an institution devoted to the specialties of the Nine Muses). Of that legendary library, the most that survives is a dank a forgotten cellar of the Serapeum, the library annex, once a temple, later reconsecrated to knowledge. A few moldering shelves may be its only physical remains.

Yet this place was once the brain and glory of the greatest city on the planet, the first true research institute in the history of the world.

The scholars of the library studied the entire Cosmos.


The Alexandrian Library


There is no record, in the entire history of the Alexandrian Library, that any of its illustrious scientists and scholars ever seriously challenged the political, economic and religious assumptions of their society. The permanence of the stars was questioned, the justice of slavery was not. Science and learning in general were the preserve of a privileged few. The vast population on the city had not the vaguest notion of the great discoveries taking place within the Alexandrian Library. New findings were not explained or popularized. The research benefited them little. Discoveries in mechanics and steam technology were applied mainly to the perfection of weapons, the encouragement of superstition, the amusement of kings.

The scientists never grasped the potential of machines to free people (with the single exception of Archimedes, who during his stay at the Alexandria Library invented the water screw, which is used in Egypt to this day for the irrigation of cultivated fields. But even he considered such mechanical contrivances far beneath the dignity of science. The great intellectual achievements of antiquity had few immediate practical applications. Science never captured the imagination of the multitude. There was no counterbalance to stagnation, to pessimism, to the most abject surrenders to mysticism. When, at long last, the mob came to burn the Alexandrian Library down, there was nobody to stop them.

Collection of books of the Alexandrian Library


The heart of the Alexandrian Library was its collection of books. The organizers combed all the cultures and languages of the world. They sent agents abroad to buy up libraries. Commercial ships docking in Alexandria were searched by the police – not for contraband, but for books. The scrolls were borrowed, copied and then returned to their owners.

Accurate numbers are difficult to estimate, but it seems probable that the Library contained half a million volumes, each a handwritten papyrus scroll. What happened to all those books? The classical civilisation that created them disintegrated as the library itself was deliberately destroyed. Only a small fraction of its works survived, along with a few pathetic scattered fragments. And how tantalizing those bits and pieces are!

We know, for example, that there was on the library shelves a book by the astronomer Aristarchus of Samos who argued that the Earth is one of the planets, which like them orbit the Sun, and that the stars are enormously far away. Each of these conclusions is entirely correct, but we had to wait nearly two thousand years for their rediscovery. If we multiply by a hundred thousand our sense of loss for this work of Aristarchus, we begin to appreciate the grandeur of the achievement of classical civilization and the tragedy of its destruction.

There are irreparable gaps in our historical knowledge. Imagine what mysteries about our past could be solved with a borrowers’ card to the Alexandrian Library:

We know of a three-volume history of the world, now lost, by a Babylonian priest named Berossus. The first volume dealt with the interval from the Creation to the Flood, a period he took to be 432,000 years of about a hundred times longer than the Old Testament chronology. I wonder what was in it.

Hypatia


The last scientist who worked in the Library was a mathematician, astronomer, physicist and the head of the Neoplatonic school of philosophy – an extraordinary range of accomplishments for any individual in any age. Her name was Hypatia. She was born in Alexandria in 370. At a time when women had few options and were treated as property, Hypatia moved freely and unselfconsciously through traditional male domains. By all accounts she was a great beauty. She had many suitors but rejected all offers of marriage.

The Alexandria of Hypatia’s time – by then long under Roman rule – was a city under grave strain. Slavery had sapped classical civilization of its vitality. The growing Christian Church was consolidating its power and attempting to eradicate pagan influence and culture. Hypatia stood at the epicenter of theses mighty social forces.

Cyril, the Archbishop of Alexandria, despised her because of her close friendship with the Roman governor, and because she was a symbol of learning and science, which were largely identified by the early Church with paganism. In great personal danger, she continued to teach and publish, until, in the year 415, on her way to work she was set upon by a fanatical mob of Cyril’s parishioners. They dragged her from her chariot, tore off her clothes, and, armed with abalone shells, flayed her flesh from her bones. Her remains were burned, her works obliterated, her name forgotten. Cyril was made a saint.

Powerpoint Presentation

Powerpoint Presentation


Steve Jobs outlined once a number or principles that should be followed. These include the number of word you have on each slide. Jobs explained that the word count should be limited to fifty words maximum, but this does not include extra text, such as sources. This practice will help you to be more concise and focus on the core messages.

The presentation muss be accompanied by general commonsense rules, such as using a clear font so that everyone can read it without any complications.

Another key point is to make sure that the headline is clear. It should summarize the entire content of the slide and the reason for its existence. One way to think about this is the following: if your whole presentation were to be read by a very busy CEO, could this person read the headlines of each slide only and still understand the key points? Would he or she be able to take away the key points and recommendations? If this is possible, then you have achieved your goal.

Throughout the presentation, it is also of great use to remember the old adage "a picture speaks a thousand words". Research has shown that by combining a powerful verbal message with an image, there is a 75 percent greater chance of your message being recalled than when using words alone.

While this is very difficult for all slides, it is often a vey useful tool of getting across common therms - and it can also be useful in introducing an element of humor into the presentation.

Should you be one of the many who suffer from nerves and as a result speak too fast or forget your words, don't worry. These issues disappear with practice.

If you speak too fast, then practice speaking slowly. Read every day slowly a text which is more verbose perhaps than your usual read. Remember to speak sonly and to physically force yourself to slow down. Over time this slower tone will become natural when presenting.

Another important tip is to take a moment to yourself before the presentation to slow down your breathing. Hold your hand to your mouth and practice breathing in and out slowly into your hands ten times. Follow this with three large deep breaths and then breathe back into your hands ten times. This will gradually bring your heartbeat down, making you feel calmer, and make it easer for you to deliver the presentation.

There is no shame in taking notes up on stage with you. The key here, though, is to ensure that each of the cards has a maximum of three key words on it. The words are to act as prompts and remind you of the points you are going to make. They are not to be used as scripts and you need to be very careful when using them to carry on engaging with your audience and maintaining eye contact with them.

Keep in mind that well defined paragraphs will make it easier for the recipient to digest and understand the information. It is also advisable to use bullet points to identify lists and key points of action or points that require a response.

Furthermore, it is vital to convey the correct impression by only using full words - do not get drawn into using the language of texting. There is also no excuse for spelling mistakes, especially as every e-mail program now comes with spelling and grammar checks.

Finally, remember that digital has come forever. Once the send button has been pressed, it will be recorded for the duration of time on some file with the ether forever.
