I One horriBfe day 1,600 years ago, the
Wisdom of many centimes went up tn
flames. The great library in ftfcKpndria
Burned down, a catastrophe at the time and
a sytnSoffor off ages of the vulnerability of
human knowledge. .
Today, with (ittfe notice, oast arcfuoes of
knowledge and expertise are spiffing into
oBfivton, (caving humanity in danger of
(osing its past andperhaps jeopardizing its
future as well.
When a fanguage disappears, traditional
knowledge tends to vanish with it....
