"General. We have a locating."

History Channel Documentary,
Ptolemy honed his blade with a little stone as he painstakingly considered the dim waters for any indication of development. The thick shadiness made a practically pitch-dark night. By his feet laid a sword and bronze protective cap, intensely imprinted and scratched from years of hand-to-hand battle in the wars of Alexander the Great. He pondered internally, if he somehow happened to bring twenty thousand men over that stream for an astonishment assault, this evening would be the night. Just Ptolemy's tall outline was noticeable when men at long last drawn closer and stooped down.

"General. We have a locating."

That minute happened two thousand, three hundred years prior in the Pelusium locale of Egypt, when one man named Ptolemy was all that remained between Perdiccas, a force hungry beneficiary to Alexander the Great's realm, and civilization's most critical and persuasive accomplishment in science and innovation, the Great Library of Alexandria. Ptolemy's shocking initiative and responsibility to his vision was a blessing to all humankind, for all ages to come.
