THE ASSASSIN SECT IS A GROUP OF ASSASSINS WIDELY KNOWN THROUGH MARCO POLO\u0027S TRAVELS AND IS ALSO THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD \u0027ASSASSIN\u0027. THEIR OPPONENTS CALLED THEM HASHASHIN (IDLERS WHO ONLY SMOKE GRASS) TO BELITTLE THEM. MARCO POLO\u0027S ACCOUNT OF THEM IS ROUGHLY AS FOLLOWS: \u0027THE LEADERS OF THIS ASSASSIN SECT LURE YOUNG PEOPLE WITH DRUGS AND HALLUCINATIONS AND LET THEM TASTE ALL SORTS OF PLEASURES, THEN GIVE THEM ASSASSINATION MISSIONS. AND IF THEY SUCCEED IN THE MISSION, THEY PROMISE THAT THEY CAN ENJOY THE PLEASURES THEY TASTED FOREVER.\u0027 THE YOUNG FOLLOWERS CANNOT FORGET THE PLEASURES THEY TASTED AND CARRY OUT ASSASSINATION MISSIONS WITHOUT REGARD FOR THEIR LIVES. THEIR HIDING PLACE IS AN INVINCIBLE FORTRESS. MANY SULTANS AND KINGS FEAR THE ASSASSINS OF THIS SECT.\u0027 HOWEVER, THIS KIND OF ACCOUNT IS LIKELY TO HAVE BEEN FABRICATED AT THE TIME TO UNDERESTIMATE THE FEAR THE ASSASSIN SECT INSPIRED. HASHISH. THAT IS, THE DRUG, A TYPE OF ARABIAN CANNABIS, THAT THE ASSASSIN SECT WAS SAID TO ENJOY, WAS ALREADY WIDELY KNOWN THROUGHOUT ARABIA AT THE TIME, AND ITS HALLUCINOGENIC PROPERTIES WERE ALSO GREATLY EXAGGERATED. FURTHERMORE, MARCO POLO STATED THAT THE YOUNG ASSASSINS \u0027DRANK\u0027 THE DRUG. THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. MOREOVER, SINCE THEY WERE ALL ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS, THEY COULD NOT TAKE A TOLERANT STANCE ON ALCOHOL OR DRUGS. IS IT NOT REASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT IT WAS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A LEADER TO LEAD ISLAMIC FOLLOWERS WHILE ALLOWING DRUGS AND ALCOHOL AT THAT TIME? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEIR MISSIONS THEMSELVES WERE TOO COMPLEX AND REQUIRED OUTSTANDING INTELLECT AND STURDY ENDURANCE FOR DRUG ADDICTS TO CARRY OUT. THE ASSASSINATION METHODS OF THE ASSASSINS WERE NOT ABOUT CHARGING LIKE BERSERKERS IN THE MARKETPLACE AND KILLING PEOPLE. THEIR ASSASSINATION TARGETS WERE MOSTLY PEOPLE WHO WERE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ASSASSINATE WITHOUT DISGUISING, ENDURING, ANALYZING, AND USING GRADUAL AND METICULOUS METHODS. THE ASSASSINS SEEMED TO BE CLOSER TO PROFESSIONAL ASSASSINATION GROUPS TRAINED THROUGH REPEATED INDOCTRINATION FROM CHILDHOOD AND INTENSIVE TRAINING, RATHER THAN FANATICS RELYING ON DRUGS. THE RECORDS OF THIS ASSASSIN SECT FIRST APPEAR IN THE TIME OF FREDERICK I BARBAROSSA, WHO STOLE THE BODIES OF THE THREE MAGI AND INSTALLED THEM IN COLOGNE CATHEDRAL. \u0027... THERE IS A TRIBE OF SARACENS WHO CALL THEMSELVES \u0027HEYSSESSINI\u0027. THEY ARE OUTLAWS AND... ARE A TERROR TO ALL SARACEN PRINCES AND NEIGHBORING CHRISTIAN LORDS. THEY TAKE PEOPLE\u0027S LIVES IN ASTOUNDING WAYS.\u0027 IT IS SAID THAT THE ASSASSIN SECT TOOK CHILDREN FROM NEARBY VILLAGES FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE AND RAISED THEM TO TRAIN ASSASSINS. AND THEY WERE INTENSIVELY EDUCATED IN LATIN, GREEK, ROMAN, ARABIC, ETC., AS WELL AS EVERYTHING NECESSARY FOR ASSASSINATION, AND WERE MADE TO OBEY WHATEVER THEY WERE COMMANDED. IN FACT, ASSASSINS WERE SKILLED WITH DAGGERS, VERY BRUTAL, AND ALSO APPEARED TO BE VERY ADEPT IN VARIOUS LANGUAGES, DISGUISE AND CAMOUFLAGE, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL TACTICS. THIS ASSASSIN SECT WAS A TYPE OF FUNDAMENTALIST MILITARY-RELIGIOUS GROUP AND BELONGED TO THE SHI\u0027A BRANCH OF ISLAM.

HE IS KNOWN AS THE FIRST PERSON TO BUILD A LIBRARY IN GREECE. XERXES LATER IMPORTED THE TRADITION OF LIBRARY BUILDING TO PERSIA, AND ONCE THE RULER OF THIS VAST TERRITORY LED THIS TREND, LIBRARY BUILDING BECAME A FASHION AMONG ALL MONARCHS. ALEXANDER, A STUDENT OF ARISTOTLE, SAW THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE NILE DELTA DURING HIS EXPEDITION AND SAID, \u0027THIS IS A SUITABLE PLACE FOR A CITY TO FLOURISH.\u0027 HE LATER ORDERED THAT WHEN A CITY WAS BUILT THERE, A \u0027LIBRARY\u0027 FOR THE MUSES BE BUILT AND THAT THE BUILDING BE NAMED AFTER HIM. PTOLEMY I, ALEXANDER\u0027S GENERAL, RETURNED TO THE PLACE ALEXANDER HAD POINTED OUT AFTER ALEXANDER\u0027S DEATH, FOUNDED A DYNASTY, AND BUILT A LIBRARY. HE NAMED IT THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA AND SPENT THE REST OF HIS LIFE HUNTING FOR WRITINGS TO FILL THE LIBRARY. AT THAT TIME, THERE WERE ALREADY MANY COMPETITION LIBRARIES SUCH AS PERGAMON AND EPHESUS LIBRARIES, AND THE BIGGEST WORRY OF THE RELATIVELY LATER STARTED LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA WAS HOW TO FILL THE LIBRARY WITH THE ORIGINAL TEXTS OF VARIOUS FIELDS OF STUDY. THE PTOLEMAIC DYNASTY PRIMARILY COLLECTED SCROLLS BY PROMISEING TO RETURN \u0027COPIES\u0027 AFTER COPYING THEM IN GREECE, AND THEN NOT RETURNING THEM. AND IT IS SAID THAT ANY DOCUMENT FOUND ON SHIPS PASSING THROUGH THE NILE WAS CONFISCATED AND STORED IN THE LIBRARY. FOR THIS REASON, THE TERM \u0027SHIP LIBRARY\u0027, MEANING A VAST LIBRARY COLLECTION, WAS COINED. IT REALLY MAKES YOU WANT TO SAY, \u0027ARE YOU A DAMN GANGSTER?\u0027 THE CRADLE OF KNOWLEDGE LOCATED ON THE BEAUTIFUL NILE RIVER WAS COMPLETED BY SUCH GANGSTERS. AT ITS PEAK, THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA HELD 400,000 SCROLLS, 90,000 COMPLETE WORKS, AND EVEN HAD A SATELLITE LIBRARY, THE SERAPEUM. THIS LIBRARY ALSO HELD 40,000 SCROLLS. BY THE STANDARDS OF THAT ERA, THIS WAS AN ASTOUNDING NUMBER. ONCE THE LIBRARY HAD ESTABLISHED A CERTAIN PRESTIGE, THE PTOLEMAIC DYNASTY PROHIBITED THE EXPORT OF PAPYRUS TO PREVENT OTHER LIBRARIES FROM ACQUIRING HOLDINGS. I EMPHASIZE AGAIN, THEY WERE REAL GANGSTERS. IN FACT, THERE WAS A REASON FOR THEIR EFFORTS TO KEEP OTHER LIBRARIES IN CHECK. THE LIBRARIES OF THAT TIME WERE NOT SIMPLY REPOSITORIES FOR SCROLLS. THEY WERE ALSO ANOTHER PARLIAMENT, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION, CRADLE OF INTELLECT, AND REPOSITORY OF CLASSICS THAT PROVIDED THE SOURCE FOR EDUCATION AND POLITICAL SYSTEMS, AND THE GREATEST LUXURY ITEM OF RULERS... ANYWAY, THEY PERFORMED A VARIETY OF ROLES. AT THAT TIME, THE LIBRARIAN ALSO HELD THE OFFICIAL TITLE OF THE KING\u0027S TUTOR (I CAN HEAR THE SIGH OF ALL BOOKWORMS FROM HERE.

SOSTRATUS, WHO BUILT THE LIGHTHOUSE OF PHAROS, ALSO REFERENCED AND APPLIED THE MATHEMATICS AND GEOGRAPHY HOUSED IN THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA, AND ERATOSTHENES ALSO SERVED AS LIBRARIAN AT ONE TIME. ARISTARCHUS, WHO PROPOSED THE HELIOCENTRIC THEORY 1,800 YEARS BEFORE COPERNICUS, WAS ALSO A SCHOLAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA. THEON, FATHER OF HYPATIA, A BRILLIANT MATHEMATICIAN AND THE FIRST WOMAN MATHEMATICIAN, WAS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA.

THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA CAN TRULY BE CALLED THE CENTER OF ALL INTELLECT AT THE TIME, HAVING ALMOST EXCLUSIVE CONTROL OVER GREEK, BABYLONIAN, AND EGYPTIAN KNOWLEDGE. THERE IS A THEORY THAT THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA DISAPPEARED BECAUSE AMR IBN AL-\u0027AS, THE ARAB RULER, CONQUERED THE CITY IN 641 AND BURNED DOWN THE LIBRARY. IT IS SAID THAT WHEN ASKED WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WITH THE BOOKS IN THE LIBRARIES AT THAT TIME, THE ARAB RULER REPLIED, \u0027IF THESE BOOKS AGREE WITH THE WORD OF ALLAH, WE HAVE NO NEED FOR THEM, FOR THE BOOK OF ALLAH ALONE IS SUFFICIENT. IF THEY DISAGREE WITH THE BOOK OF ALLAH, THERE IS NO REASON TO PRESERVE THEM. BURN THEM ALL.\u0027 AND THE BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY WERE ALL USED AS FUEL FOR THE BATHHOUSES, AND IT TOOK SIX MONTHS TO BURN THEM ALL. HOWEVER, THIS IS JUST A RUMOR. ARABS WERE NOT THAT EXCLUSIVE IN VARIOUS FIELDS OF STUDY SUCH AS GEOGRAPHY, MATHEMATICS, AND ASTRONOMY, AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA HAS ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ARABS. MOREOVER, THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA AT THAT TIME HAD ALREADY SUFFERED THREE GREAT FIRES, AND THE IMPORTANT WORKS THAT REMAINED WERE ALMOST ALL LOST DUE TO THE COLLECTION RIVALRY AMONG THE PATRIARCHS. IT IS THE DOMINANT VIEW THAT BY THE 7TH CENTURY, THERE WERE PROBABLY NO WORKS LEFT IN THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA THAT WERE ONLY KNOWN THROUGH LEGEND, SUCH AS ARISTOTLE\u0027S POETICS, BOOK 2. MOREOVER, CONSIDERING THE CULTURAL LEVEL OF THE ARABS AT THAT TIME, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THERE WERE PROBABLY ALMOST NO WORKS IN THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA THAT WOULD HAVE ATTRACTED THE ATTENTION OF ARAB SCHOLARS. THE BIGGEST BLOW TO THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA WAS PROBABLY THE FIRST GREAT FIRE. A GREAT FIRE BROKE OUT IN ALEXANDRIA IN 48 BCE. IT WAS ARSON DELIBERATELY SET BY CAESAR\u0027S SIDE TO STOP THE ADVANCE OF PTOLEMY XIII, CLEOPATRA\u0027S YOUNGER BROTHER, WHO WAS FIGHTING FOR POWER WITH HER. THE 400,000 SCROLLS THAT WERE ABOUT TO BE BURNED IN THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA AT THAT TIME WERE EXACTLY THE SCROLLS COLLECTED THROUGH ALL SORTS OF THUGGERY STARTING FROM PTOLEMY I.

AS A CHILD, I RAN AWAY FROM HOME IN RAGE OVER THE UNFAIRNESS OF THE WORLD (IT WAS RELATED TO LIVE OCTOPUS AND SWINGS, BUT I DON\u0027T REMEMBER THE SPECIFIC EVENT). ALTHOUGH I RETURNED HOME THAT SAME EVENING, THAT \u0027ROUGHLY 10 HOURS\u0027 IS CLEARLY ETCHED IN MY MEMORY AS AN \u0027OFFICIAL RUNAWAY\u0027. I\u0027M ONLY SLIGHTLY DISAPPOINTED THAT NO ONE IN MY FAMILY KNEW I HAD RUN AWAY THAT DAY BECAUSE IT WAS A HOLIDAY (WHEN I CONFESSED AS AN ADULT, I WAS ONLY RIDICULED). ON THAT FATEFUL DAY WHEN I RAN AWAY, WAILING AND THRASHING MY ARMS IN THE AIR LIKE A TYRANNOSAURUS REX, MY FEET LED ME TO A PUBLIC LIBRARY. I DIDN\u0027T PLAN IT FROM THE START, BUT AFTER TAKING THE BUS TO THE TERMINAL, I FOUND A LIBRARY NEARBY. THE LIBRARY BUILDING LOOKED SO HUGE AND MAJESTIC THAT I WONDERED IF I WAS ALLOWED TO ENTER (WHEN I WENT AS AN ADULT, IT WAS NOT AS HUGE AS I THOUGHT). I WAS PARTICULARLY NERVOUS ABOUT HOW \u0027PROFESSIONAL\u0027 IT LOOKED. I WAS REALLY NERVOUS. AS YOU KNOW, SUCH AN IMPRESSION CAN SOMETIMES MAKE PEOPLE FEEL VERY SMALL. ONLY AFTER READING THE SIGN THAT SAID \u0027LIBRARY FOR ALL CITIZENS\u0027 SEVERAL TIMES COULD I FINALLY STEP INSIDE THE LIBRARY. IN OTHER WORDS, MY PARENTS WOULD NOT KNOW I HAD RUN AWAY YET, AND THUS I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO THE POLICE OR COURT, AND THEREFORE MY CITIZENSHIP WOULD STILL BE INTACT. ONLY AFTER REACHING THIS VERY REASONABLE AND LOGICAL CONCLUSION COULD I TAKE THAT SMALL, YET SOMEHOW AWKWARD STEP TOWARDS THE LIBRARY. YES. EVEN AS A CHILD, I WAS QUITE LOGICAL. THE LIBRARY WAS TRULY WONDERFUL AND MAGNIFICENT. THE BRIGHT SUNLIGHT STREAMING IN FROM THE TALL GLASS WINDOWS I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE, THE DESKS AND CHAIRS WORN SMOOTH WITH THE TOUCH OF COUNTLESS HANDS, AND THE IMMENSE NUMBER OF BOOKS, STANDING SOLEMNLY IN ROWS AS IF THEY DIDN\u0027T NEED TO FLATTER ANYONE HERE, SHEDDING ALL THEIR FLASHY COVERS. AND THE AMBIVALENT IMPRESSION OF ISOLATION AND OPENNESS GIVEN BY THE HIGH CEILING, THE UNEASY YET COMFORTABLE SILENCE AND CALM. VARIOUS PEOPLE READING BOOKS WITH ALL SORTS OF UNEXPECTED TITLES. EVERYONE THERE WAS DEEPLY LOST IN THEIR OWN THOUGHTS. STRANGELY, I FELT AS IF I HAD COME TO A BEACH WHERE SMALL WAVES CONSTANTLY CAME AND WENT. HOODU COMICS PAGE FREE SITE AS A CHILD, I THOUGHT HOW WONDERFUL IT WOULD BE TO LIVE IN A PLACE LIKE THIS. AND I REMEMBER THE RICE AT THE CAFETERIA WAS VERY DELICIOUS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A LIBRARY WITH TASTELESS RICE. YOU CAN BELIEVE THIS. THE RICE AT LIBRARY CAFETERIAS IS TRULY DELICIOUS. HOW DID THE RICE AT THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA TASTE? SINCE IT WAS BEFORE THE DAYS OF MSG, I DON\u0027T HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS, BUT IT MUST HAVE BEEN DELICIOUS.

AFTER ODA NOBUNAGA\u0027S SUDDEN DEATH, TOYOTOMI HIDEYOSHI, WHO STARTED AS HIS TOILET ATTENDANT, TOOK POWER... AND... HISTORY ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE THE SENSITIVITY TO INITIAL CONDITIONS THAT CHAOS THEORY TALKS ABOUT. THAT IS, THERE SEEMS TO BE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AN EVENT WHERE A PRIEST IN ITALY FLAPS HIS WINGS AND THE KING OF JOSEON, SEONJO, RUNS NORTH WITHOUT LOOKING BACK LIKE A DONKEY WITH ITS TAIL ON FIRE. THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION, BUT IF SEONJO HAD CLEARLY AND FAIRLY AWARDED MERIT AND DEMERIT AFTER THE WAR, HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TREATED AS SUCH AN INCOMPETENT RULER. HOWEVER, AS SEEN IN NUMEROUS RECORDS, SEONJO WAS A PERSON WHO WAS ONLY SATISFIED WHEN HE BELIEVED HE WAS THE SMARTED AND WISEST PERSON IN THE WORLD. HE WAS NATURALLY BORN WITH A PERSONALITY THAT COULD NOT STAND TO SEE THE OUTSTANDING QUALITIES OF HIS SUBORDINATES. A SUBORDINATE WHO DARED TO WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM HAD TO TAKE OFF THEIR HAT AND BE PREPARED FOR EXILE. SEONJO WAS THE WORST KIND OF LEADER, WHO WOULD NOT BE SATISFIED UNTIL HE WAS CONVINCED \u0027HIMSELF\u0027 THAT HE WAS SUPERIOR AND MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY OTHER SUBORDINATE IN EVERY RESPECT. AFTER ALL THE WARS WERE OVER, PERHAPS FOR SEONJO, THERE WAS NO IMPORTANT MERIT OR DEMERIT IN THE WORLD WORTH PAYING ATTENTION TO, OTHER THAN HIS OWN SURVIVAL, WHICH WAS HIS GREATEST MERIT? HIS PETTY JEALOUSY AND AMBITION ROTTED AWAY EVEN THE FEW GOOD QUALITIES HE HAD. JOSEON BEFORE SEONJO AND AFTER SEONJO ARE TRULY DIFFERENT. IT WOULD NOT BE WRONG TO SAY THAT SEONJO, ALONG WITH INJO, WAS THE WORST INCOMPETENT RULER IN JOSEON HISTORY. TO EXPERIENCE SUCH A THING AT SUCH A TIME. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW SUCH COINCIDENTAL MOMENTS IN KOREAN HISTORY. * FRANCISCO XAVIER, ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS. HE IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN A TYPICAL WARRIOR.

AS A RESULT, HEROD\u0027S POWER ALSO BECAME UNSTABLE. HOWEVER, HEROD HAD THE TALENT TO QUICKLY SENSE WHOSE BUTT HE SHOULD GENTLY PET FIRST, EVEN IN A HELLISH MESS. ESCAPING JERUSALEM BY THE SKIN OF HIS TEETH, HE HEADED TO EGYPT AND WAS WELCOMED BY CLEOPATRA. AT THAT TIME, CLEOPATRA AND ANTONY WERE PREPARING FOR WAR WITH PARTHIA FOR THEIR OWN GAIN, AND HEROD COULD BE A USEFUL CARD FOR THEM. HEROD SAVED ANTONY, WHO WAS IN DANGER WHILE ATTACKING THE FORTRESS OF SAMOSATA, AND THE BLUFFING ANTONY EMBRACED HEROD AND PROCLAIMED HIM \u0027KING OF JUDAEA\u0027 IN FRONT OF NUMEROUS WITNESSES. AROUND THIS TIME, HEROD MARRIED MARIAMNE OF THE MACCABEE FAMILY. AND ANTONY SUPPORTED HEROD\u0027S RECAPTURE OF JERUSALEM WITH AN ARMY OF 40,000. WHETHER ANTONY INTENDED IT OR NOT - I WONDER IF HE WAS THAT SMART? - THE TERRITORY HE GRANTED HEROD AT THIS TIME OVERLAPPED WITH CLEOPATRA\u0027S TERRITORY. FROM THIS MOMENT ON, CLEOPATRA AND HEROD BECAME POLITICAL ENEMIES, COMPETING TO WIN ANTONY\u0027S \u0027GOODWILL\u0027 FIRST. CLEOPATRA EVEN TRIED TO SEDUCE HEROD. OF COURSE, IT WAS TO RUIN HIM. HEROD TRIED TO KILL CLEOPATRA BASED ON HER ATTEMPTED SEDUCTION. HOWEVER, HIS COUNSELORS STOPPED HIM. HEROD\u0027S IN-LAWS, THE MACCABEE FAMILY, FREQUENTLY CONTACTED CLEOPATRA TO REMOVE HEROD, AND ONCE THEY EVEN PUT HIM IN SERIOUS DANGER (NEVERTHELESS, HEROD MAINTAINED AN \u0027PASSIONATE\u0027 RELATIONSHIP WITH MARIAMNE). THE CONTEST BETWEEN THESE TWO POLITICIANS, CLEOPATRA AND HEROD, WHO BUILT THEIR CAREERS ON KINSLAYING, MUST HAVE BEEN WORTH WATCHING.
