Such a heart wrenching story. Napoleon and Illya kept their composure but one can only do that for so long under such circumstances. The loss of irreplaceable human endeavors there was so tragic. Illya's tearful conclusion was quite profound.

This made me think of the library at Alexandria... I was watching a documentary on Cleopatra recently and they discussed the countless works in the library that were destroyed, though they never mentioned that part of it survived. The eventual destruction of the Serapeum was a second tragedy that for some reason is overlooked in Egyptian in these documentaries, as if it were the forgotten orphaned daughter of the library.

Your handled the telling of this sad moment in history very well.
