In their haste to preserve the scrolls, they tip over some oil lamp and… 🔥
It had to happen, because it did happen.
Unless we’re playing by Back To The Future rules, in which case … I dunno man, whatever gets him to not hook up with his mom.
Maybe that’s why so few books survived the fire.
They were brought to the future and we are in the in between time. * X files music*
And they’re mostly versions of people shiting on copper vendors (expanded universe).
I appreciate that you have removed gender stereotypes from this meme format
Was just about to say this. It’s wild and sad how often it is “women lame. Man smart, strongk” with this format.
I took most of those as “woman reasonable, men weird”.
Regular people bad

This but unironically
The world is far too normal and it’s a travesty. Everyone should be weirder. Go goth! Start a religion! Invent a new gender! Learn everything there is to know about trains. Normal sucks.
Goths are pretty normal, they just like a certain music and/or fashion style.
I mean, it’s better than women bad, isn’t it?
Go grab those Mayan codices before the Spanish could burn them. Hundred of years of history lost, all because of Christian superstition.

Someone needs to take out Machiavelli or otherwise prevent him from writing The Prince while we’re in the past. Might not do anything but it could fix a lot if it does
Nah, The Prince is just basic government theory.
Yes. I read The Prince and I think Machiavelli’s reputation as malevolent and scheming is undeserved. Perhaps he shocked the sensibilities of some by saying the quiet part out loud, but it would be foolish for either a ruler or his subjects to be unaware of that quiet part due to misplaced idealism. This remains true in the present day.
Edit: I assume that you know this, but I thought that a reply to you was a good place to say it to others.

First stop, Nalanda university. It’s said that when the Mongols burned it, it didn’t stop for a month.
Imagine the size of its knowledge base, considering most of its learnings were passed down orally as was the custom of the time in the subcontinent?
I don’t wanna :(
The Chronicles of St. Mary’s is an entire series of historians “investigating historical events in contemporary time.” Don’t call it time travel. They don’t like that term.
So now we know how the library of Alexandria got burnt.
I would want to see Shakespeare’s lost plays. Though most likely I’d see every Marx brothers performance.
Why hurry? Why not go back a month or more before the fire to give youself time?
You’re still limited by your own lifespan. There’s A LOT of lost knowledge.
Get to da choppa!
Or you could just actually observe history as it happened
