I have been looking for the photo I saw everywhere yesterday, of the human wall of Egyptian citizens who were protecting the museum from looters…. can’t find it now. What I am really glad of here is that the “looters” are clearly distinguished from the main body of people engaged in this revolt and that reports across the internet have made that distinction pretty clear. So often what we read merges groups and motivations so it looks like “the mob” versus “the established order” In this situation, more clarity is in view. An improvement.
First thing which comes to mind are the works of some many philosophers, burning to the ground within the Library of Alexandria.
