❤ 模仿文本：But first, the story of the extraordinary undercover operation which saved hundreds of thousands of historic documents in the Malian city of Timbuktu. The documents date back to the 13th century and include countless beautiful works of religious and scientific scholarship. Some were kept in the main public library while many others were looked after in private libraries run by families who've handed them down from generation to generation. When Islamist militants took control of the city, the guardians of the manuscripts feared they would be destroyed.
