where the hijacking of the Lady Flamborough is planned. Described as having the face of a man who
spent half his life in a dungeon. His pale skin seems almost transparent.
Alexander the Great. King of Macedonia.Died in 323 B.C. in Babylon. His gold-and-crystal
coffin was removed from Alexandria and packed around the sides with three hundred twenty copper
tubes that read: "Geologic Charts." This, along with sixty-three tapestries, was buried by Venator's men
near the Hills of' Rome.
Alexandria Library.Vast information source that contained knowledge of the Egyptian, Greek and
Roman empires along with little-known civilizations outside the Mediterranean. In A.D. 391, Christian
Emperor Theodosius ordered all books and art depicting anything remotely pagan, which included the
teachings of the immortal Greek philosophers, burned and destroyed. Much of the collection was thought
to have been secretly saved and spirited away. What became of it, or where it was hidden, remains a
mystery sixteen centuries later. A group led by Venator buries it in an unknown land. The entire party,
minus four sailors who escape on a small merchant ship named the Serapis, are slaughtered by the
barbarians in retaliation for an attack on their village. Rothberg describes the library as a
library/museum/university, an immense structure of white marble that contained picture galleries, statuary
halls and theaters for poetry readings and lectures. There were also dormitories, a dining hall and animal
and botanical parks. The contents of the library are later found by Pitt in Roma, Texas, under No Name
Hill. After Sharp catalogs them, the contents are transported to a secure building complex in Maryland
for restoration and preservation. A replica of the Alexandria Library is scheduled to be built on the
Washington Mail.
