What texts were included in the great library of Alexandria?

What are the titles of the few books that remain? The preachers wouldn't tell us cause they are the one's that burnt them all TWICE!!! The few that supposedly survived are a mystery or have been locked away by the church, I wonder why!?!?

Update:

They burned the library twice, (makes sense that they burned the catalog as well) brilliant insight!

Update 2:

we were ready enough to write them!

I'm looking for text names or story names or mythological poems and such related to this.

Update 3:

Ya, my wording sucks, I hope to impuve my spelling soon!

Update 4:

Ya, my wording sucks, I hope to impuve my spelling soon!

    Science believes we are presently learning what they already knew during the time of the Library of Alexandria, it's possible humans aren't ready for what this books contain.

    Humans have become very ignorant since that time in history and to force the truth upon humans is wrong, we have to let them learn it slowly so they can digest it easier.

    Julius Caesar burnt down the library accidentally while fighting the Egyptians, he ordered the port to be burnt down but the fire spread to the library, he said he regretted it happened.

    What a great question. I think your wording about the 'burning' is a little confusing, but this site has great info on the church's participation in it...http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_car...

    library at Alexandria

    to lengthy to summarize, but surely fascinating!

    I'm just curious how you burn something twice.

    I think they burned the autobiography of Denis Rodman. Not a bad move, if you ask me.
