  • Generally thought to have been founded at the beginning of the third century BC, the library was conceived and opened either during the reign of Ptolemy I Soter or during the reign of his son Ptolemy II. Plutarch (AD 46–120) wrote that during his visit to Alexandria in 48 BC, Julius Caesar accidentally burned the library when he set fire to his own ships to frustrate Achillas' attempt to limit his ability to communicate by sea.[citation needed] According to Plutarch's account, this fire spread to the docks and then to the library.

      Mecca is the holyest place for the Muslims. After all that is where Muhammad started the religion. There is a big tent that is called tha Kaaba there. Before the people in Mecca who did not support the Islamic religion and culture did not like Muhammad and his followers. Muhammad and his companions, now 10,000 strong, decided to march into Mecca. However, instead of continuing their fight, the city of Mecca surrendered to Muhammad and his followers, who rather than seeking revenge for years of severe persecution, declared amnesty for the inhabitants.

    Islamic tradition attributes the beginning of Mecca to Ishmael's descendants. In the 7th century, the Islamic prophet Muhammad proclaimed Islam in the city which was by then an important trading center. After 966, Mecca was led by local sharifs until 1924 when the Ottoman Empire collapsed and it came under the rule of the Saudis.In its modern period, Mecca has seen tremendous expansion in size and infrastructure.

      Greek fire was a very dangerous weapon used in battles. It was found by the greek obviously but once they used it a lot other places did as well. For example Rome used it a lot. Greek fire was a type of fire that when you get it on you it will start burning your skin. It cannot come off. It was very useful in battle. I say that because you could get rid of people easlily that way. I remember we saw an example of Greek fire in the movie Gladiator.

  • It burned on water, and, according to some interpretations, was ignited by water. In addition, as numerous writers testify, it could be extinguished only by a few substances, such as sand, which deprived it of oxygen, strong vinegar, or old urine, presumably by some sort of chemical reaction.[30][31]

  • In its earliest form, Greek fire was hurled onto enemy forces by firing a burning cloth-wrapped ball, perhaps containing a flask, using a form of light catapult, most probably a seaborne variant of the Roman light catapult or onager.[citation needed
