3.53 Greek Rule in Egypt: The Library at Alexandria and Euclid
from Vol. 1 The Christian History Podcast · host Not Theology. Just how world history intersects with Christian history.
In this episode, I cover the father of Geometry, Euclid, who lived in Alexandria while Ptolemy the 1st ruled. I also discuss the first half of the history of the legendary Library at Alexandria. It was here that the circumference of the Earth was calculated, Archimedes invented his water pumping screw, and alphabetical order was first used. And so much more. After listening, let me know what you think.
