HI!
Of course no he didn't burn anything in Egipt. On the contrary - he builded city (quite fames) and rebuilded or restored the temples like temple of Amor-Re in Thebes (today's Luxor).
Only one library he burned was those in Persepolis but it was also accident he wanted to burn Palace as a revenge for burning Athens but library was close enough that fire embranced it too...Maciek

Greetings Kenny,It was Julius Caesar, some historians think he pushed man back a thousand years by doing so. They say Columbus might have been flying to the moon instead of bringing disease to the natives in the far west. A little far fetched but fun to think about.Take care, Andrew
