Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In the city of Alexandria in 415 CE, the bishop and the governor were in a fight. It started with a disagreement over the behavior of a militia of monks, and ended with an accusation of witchcraft leveled against one of the most powerful figures in the city: Hypatia, philosopher and advisor to the citys leaders. Who was Hypatia and why was she deemed a threat? Soraya Field Fiorio investigates. Lesson by Soraya Field Fiorio, directed by Biljana Labovic. Animation by Elsa Esteban stellario82: This video is ridiculous, Hypatia was an important mathematician and Astronomer, not the greatest Alexandrian scholar. another piece of nonsensical feminism.

If you think that was bad, just take a look at Roman at Theodosius II's reign where Nestorians were persecuted enough that many ran away to Persia.
Yes, Cyril did launch a pogrom and later lobby the Emperor to renounce the Nestorian Christians later on.
Not that his granddad, Theodosius the Great shouldn't have fair share of the blame for officiating Christianity (Nicene to be precise) and revoking punishment for sacrilege against Roman religious buildings.

There's a pretty good movie about this. Agora starring Rachel Weiss and Oscar Isaac. You cannot build an entire civilization on slavery and expect it to survive forever. Sooner or later they'll come for your head. :/

Don't take a YouTube video as fact, folks. Look up the history of this controversy; it's a lot more complicated than this clip makes it seem.

Lately Egypt has honoured Hypatia by placing statue of her in the Diamond Hall at the new administrative capital near Cairo.
