The lost scrolls of Alexandria, often associated with the famous Library of Alexandria, were not found by any single individual; rather, they are believed to have been lost over time due to a combination of wars, neglect, and the passage of centuries. Historical accounts suggest that the library suffered multiple destructions, notably during the Roman conquest in 48 BCE and later events. Many of the scrolls were likely dispersed or destroyed, making it impossible to pinpoint a specific discovery of the lost texts. The concept of "lost scrolls" often refers to the countless works that were never recovered, rather than a particular find.
