The greatest movie ever. I hate those specific Christians they are low life shits. My queen should’ve lived a beautiful life, as beautiful as she was beautiful and insanely brilliant and intelligent.

You don't know the anger that I have for this historical event which is the destruction of the library of Alexandria and the death of hypatia.
What bought them to burn such place of holiness, not in religion way but in culture wise. Did they not see how many years of studies bought the library to its glory??
If you want to fight pagans, you could have used the library in your justice, and studied and gained knowledge. NOT KILL A WOMAN WHO DID NOTHING WRONG??? I will never understand why Davus would turn against her and that spertus guy SHE TAUGHT YOU. YOU WERE HER STUDENT. AND YOU LOOK UPON HER AS IF SHE WAS NOTHING BUT A PAWN???
And davus's love to hypatia oh god, may this love never find me. You guys aren't ready for this conversation. 😮💨
