Great Library (World Wonder)

Adds the Great Library (of Alexandria) as a new unassociated Antiquity age world wonder, restoring cut content.

"We can roam the bloated stacks of the Library of Alexandria, where all imagination and knowledge are assembled. We can recognize in its destruction the warning that all we gather will be lost, but also that much of it can be collected again." - Alberto Manguel.

The Great Library of Alexandria was one of the two most important libraries of the ancient world. Ptolemy I founded it around 300 BCE, and the Library was enhanced and expanded by his successors. The Library attempted to obtain copies of all scrolls of any consequence, and eventually contained over 700 000 volumes. Religious fanatics destroyed the library in 391 CE, after nearly 700 years of operation. Today, only a portion of the catalog survives, providing us with a mere hint of what treasures the library contained.
