Who was Hypatia?

Hypatia was the last scientist, mathematician, astronomer, and physicist head of the Neoplatonic School of philosophy who worked within the Library of Alexandria. Hypatia is also a daring visionary, an educated woman who dared to speak about science in an age when everything was left up to the gods. She was born in the time when women had no choice and was treated as property.

But Hypatia moved freely and without restrain. Those times were dire threat to the intellectual pagans, especially when the growing Christian church plans to eradicate everything pagan. Hypatia was in the center of these turbulent times. Cyril, the arch bishop of Alexandria eyed Hypatia with contempt because of her knowledge and science.

On a November night in Egypt, 414 A.D Christian fanatics dragged her from her chariot, tore off her robes and flayed her skin with abalone shells, her remnants were burned as well as her works were destroyed, her name was forgotten and Cyril, was turned to a saint!

For me, this is supposed to be one of the most horrifying acts of atrocity by these Christians hypocrites who teaches people to love one another…Before believing these people, always remember the death of Hypatia and how the Christians treated one of the world’s most renounced institution receptacle of knowledge!
