English subtitle by : Eduun
The late fourth century A.D. the Roman Empire began to crumble.
Alexandria, in the province of Egypt, still retained some of its lustre,...
...possessed one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world:...
...the legendary lighthouse, and the biggest library known.
The library was a not only cultural but a religious symbol,...
a place where the pagans worshiped their ancestral gods.
The traditional pagan worship in the city now coexisted...
...with the Jews, and an unstoppable religion up to now banned,...
...Christianity.
Library of Alexandria, 391 A.D.
After taking the library, many pagans were converted...
Hipatia continued teaching and researching,...
...while his former students held...
...important positions in the social elite.
The empire was split in two forever.
Many Christians saw this as a sign of the end of the world...
...and decided to prepare by practicing a more holy life.
The order of "Parabolanos" monks was charged to go...
...through the streets and watch for Christian morality...
...now uneven by the presence of the Jews.
The Library, years later.
How many fools have wondered
why not the stars fall from the sky
But you, not happy to cease of the wise,
You know that the stars do not move up or down.
only reborn from east to west,
following the most perfect post ever can see ,
circle.
Because the circle reigns in heaven,
the stars would never have fallen and never will.
But what about here on Earth?
Here, bodies do fall.
But their movements are not circular but linear.
Look again.
Again.
No, leave it.
So,
What mysterious wonder do you would think
that may lurk beneath the earth for every single person and animal,
and object and all laid exact on there
What may should be?
The highness, madame.
No.
Sinesio.
The weighty.
No, you both speaking about the same thing, but you not talking about primary course.
Has anyone ever thought about your..
your feet ...
your feet
standing perched on the very center of the cosmos
that holds all things together, pull them together
If there is no center, the universe would be
deformed, infinite, formless,
chaotic.
Doesn't matter that we were here, there or anywhere
What you will do? That's right never being born
Library of Alexandria 391 AD
God, Our Father,
lord of the universe,
origin of all things,
eternal force of the cosmos,
where everything has its beginning and its end.
Mighty Serapis, Isis, Horus,
And all the gods Anubis that protect us
both in heaven and on earth ...
Something happens in the market.
I know you also feel something. I've seen.
Tell the master that we leave.
Can you believe. He was counting me as the part of their conquests
This Orestes also foolish as his father.
I have already suggested that you take his heart to another muse
one more beautiful than me.
- Who? The music.
Music
He find his music.
What happen 227 had become 16 ?
Divide with 14.
They behave like humans! Eat, drink and fornicate!
If my gods eat, drink and fornicate, good for them
Know this,
you who console yourself with pagan images.
Men, women, birds, reptiles!
Serapis!
Serapis! Who could trust the God, need a flower pot
for crown?
Hey You, Christians, how arrogant you to take another
Empire attitude like this
My father's father saw them
slaughtered at the circus
and ate to the lions.
Enough! Watch.
Watch.
You see now I walk cross the fire.
If my god ...
If my God is the true god, I unscathed, no hurt.
And if your gods exist,
they'll roast me like a pig.
You ...
You're lie!
You'll burn!
You will have what you deserve!
Let's see if you can walk cross the fire.
What are you doing?
Stop, you can not do that! Leave him alone.
Quiet! or you will follow.
Who is this?
How many times should I must repeat message?
Today,
Christians burn a man.
Right in the middle of agora!
I will not have this in my house!
Not in the house of Theon!
Give it to me.
Give it to me!
No terrific mercy is way go
- Davo! Get up.
You have nothing to do with this.
I do, i am a Christian.
What did you say?
I do. I am a Christian Punish both of us.
So, now we'll presume to teach us a mercy
Get a whip. - Father!
Calm ...
Father, I beg you. I begged you
wrapped in.. in blazing, right?
To the flames, stupid.
Why did not you burned like the heathen? Tell me.
Leave us ...
Come here.
Kneel.
Tell me, is true you are a Christian?
I do not know what to say, madame. - Why not?
If i say yes, that will be a lie
If I said no, i lied to my master and I do not know which is worse.
Then say nothing.
That's it.
Thank you.
The master is very angry himself.
What is that?
Something I've done.
looks like a ...
What is it?
the Ptolemaic system.
Yes it is.
Have you done?
Earth
is the center of the cosmos
and revolve around
the sun
and the five wanderers: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Never disobeying the law of the circle.Never
Ptolemy told me show as do obey.
affected if you see them move
in a loop
is the Join effect of two circles.
One
travel around the Earth
and the smaller circle
own each wandering.
Loop, the epicycles "say you see is not happen on the earth"
but our eyes deceive us.
Well search, Davo.
I like you do the explanation search even paying course attention or not
One or two..up here
I tell you The Gods should consulted to me before they creating anything.
Why say that?
It's all so whimsical!
Why is the joint take of two circles?
Would not be more, perfect if the wander is..
if wander and a single circle give sense to everything?
What authority do you judge the work of God?
What is wrong with you, Christians?
The man is no longer with brief mouth in this city
Could you decide creation, you could decide a Lord,
and you offended. You should move to the desert.
You will not hear anything offensive there.
You know nothing about you speak. None of you.
What this.. you can explain to all?
What is the question?
Just.. answer me.
If ...
if two things are equal a third thing,
and They are all equal to each other
Well.
Now, Are you are not similar to me?
Yes
And you, Orestes?
Yes
Now I am actually say with everybody here in this room,
More things you joint us
and divide us.
Whatever happens on the street, we are brothers.
We are brothers.
Did you remember, the fights are a thing of slaves and rabble.
Now We should give Davo's presentation well applause
We will judge all a live and dead!
And then it will be too late,
because only those who believed in Jesus
we'll be saved.
What are you waiting for?
The Kingdom of God is near.
Do you understand what I am telling to you?
Yes
Do You understand like man do
or do you not had, like sheep?
What are you looking there?
Yes, you.
What are you looking here?
Are you Ammonius,
who made the miracle?
Do you want to see a miracle?
Are you the one?
I am.
Come with me.
Jesus traveled throughout Galilee
teaching in their synagogues.
Preaching the good news for you
and curing diseases people.
In all he talked about Syria
and people came to see him worldwide.
That's Theophilus.
Bishop.
For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn
they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who have hunger and thirst for righteousness,
will be satisfied.
The word of God!
Blessed are the merciful
they will be find mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
they shall see God.
The Lord be with you.
And you, parabolans.
So how did you escape the flames?
"The Lord be with you. "And with you.
What did you think? I am pray!
Should probably you not even know how.
What you got in your sack?
- Do you have Food? It is for my master.
What's wrong with you?
I have to pay that with my own money!
What do you need the money for?
Look at the faces.
Here.
I want you to try it yourself
and after it work i will teach you how to pray.
Look forward.
"The Lord be with you. "Bless you.
See?
That is the miracle!
go on, keep doing.
The Lord be with you.
Please.
Thank you.
Bless you,
Parabolans Bless you.
Hi slave

Davo.
Davo the slave!
You look like a true parabolans.
A true soldier of Christ.

The men now happy with wine.
All aboard!
How unlucky!
Save your servants!
End the last two!
Thank you, the audience.
Excuse to delay
what we watching around to change...off.
Good evening

son of Orestes.
I am here. ..
I here to declare my love for Hypatia, the philosopher,
whole no doubt know.
some time, i following the ..,
I have dedicated myself to music

But for me,
such harmony
only found in my lady.
so,
I prepare here just want
offer my melody
and i hope to ...
Stop talking.
That man will go far.
If I prefer bananas not figs, I would have ready falls
at his feet.
What did to prepares to present
Me?
How?
Gratty, can you order your daughter's hat. Would you to prepare to marry her?
My Hypatia subject to a man? Without read and to teach?
For even speak her mind?
the most brilliant philosopher i know, hanging to give up the science
No, could be death to her.
It's true. Her work is admirable.
Yes wise and virtuous.
But Theon,
do not forget their plight.
She's a Woman, Right?.
Our Father who art in heaven ...
Do not let it be another.
Please do not let it is another.
Do not let anyone. Do not let it be another.
Amen.
Good day, ma'am.
Good day.
Good day lady.
Yesterday many people see on your colleague present....
I accepted the gift.
And today I want to give something back.
This is for you.
It is the blood of my cycle.
Orestes ...
You say you have found harmony in me.
Then I suggesting you look out elsewhere because i think is very little harmony on you
or beauty in that.
Do not you agree?
Yesterday we were discussing the Apollonius cone.
We speak of the circle, of the ellipse and parabola.
Today we see the hyperbola. - Lady!
Forgive me, Lady.
Olimpios requires your present
urgently to Serapeum.
To you as well.
Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.
How is to enjoy that make us swallow the faith
and customs the people until recently were coming out rule?
- What happened? - It's a sacrilege!
Christians have met in the agora.
They mocking the gods.
Must stop these insults!
He may not fear him,
But fear our swords!
Wait!
What is it you are going to do?
Are you going to attack them?
Are you going to staying your hands with blood for an insult?
The gods! An insult to
the gods!
If you feel so bad, Report them to the prefect.
It might seem that you protecting them.
i try to protect our disciples.
You, who are inciting them to be murderers.
Theon, as director, you have the last word.
The insult must to be answered.
The Jews can do what they want, is not your battle.
Ask to your Christians, you would do well join us with your rank.
You will not caused my disciples out of this house!
- Glory to Serapis! - Now all the gods!
Wait for my command!
No one should suspect until we have surrounded.
for slaves! Slaves present yourselves
Slaves also someone!
Davo, back.
No. Back.
To the Christians!
Glory to Serapis!
Let us listen now!
Do you hear her complain?
No!
This one have no voice too!
Their mouths do not speak,
their eyes do not see,
his nose does not smell.
Still pagans until they kneel before them!
What madness is this?
By the gods!
Medoro!
Take care of your master! Protect it..!
God is one!
Death for the heathens!
You! What are you looking that? Keep fight!
A fight!
Are you deaf? I said that to fight
I am a Christian!
- What is Christ? - Christ is one!
Death to the heathens!
God is one!
No! No!
the entrance, We must defend the entrance!
What's happening?
Our men retreat, Your father attack by Christians!
Father!
No problem. No problem.
What happened?
It was his slave.
Davo, bring rags and water, quickly.
Father ...
Synesius, we must leave here.
Hold it.
Parabolans are coming!
God is with us!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
- Close the door! - Our men still out there!
May the gods protect them.
Close the gate..!
Do not kill him! It will be a hostage, like the others. Did you hear everyone?
Any Christian that you catch
to be a hostage.
Take the our injured to the temple and Christians
to the basement. Anyone had good eye, good aim up on the walls.
Olimpio.
This one is Christian.
Yes, and these three as well.
If you are Christian, go to the basement.
Olimpios...
is my brothers, I will go as prisoner with them.
If necessary, so do that.
If anyone,
anyone,
dares laying finger on one of my brothers,
I swear I will cross.
Look!
Look at this!
Orestes.
Thank you.
When is
so many Christians?
We will have to negotiate.
Tell me what can we expect of a Christian emperor
except we put the soul
accept positive still being alive that's it.
This is fine.
Nobody leaves the group, please.
Are they going to pray all night?
Davo.
Stay here.
It's save here.
Just stay with him.
Synesius! What are you doing?
Lady, sister and mother,
God bless and protect you.
Back!
end up .... slave not eating this
Slaves in the bottom!

It's a disaster.
Father, why you laid the dice.
Do you seem healed today?
-No. - No?
Let's see.
Promise me, my child,
when i'm done.You want remember this foolish old man.
I promise.
Remember me as i was before.

And I listened to you.
How could I've been so wrong?
See. you here, locked because my fault y. ..
Father, please.
I wanted you to be free.
I am free.
Hi Christians
Christians!
What's that call 'bout the god damn you doing now?
Coffins for you, scum!
tell me.
Where are the gods now?
Where are they?
You'd better find another - Other?
Which one? The God of the Christians?
such a fool!
What do you think, Lady? You are so bold
Turn off the fire.
Yes, you bold.
Very bold.
I've been thinking about something you talk to me.
Me?
The day that you criticize celestial mechanism
and i call it
- when it's call. Yes,.thought..
actually
i criticizing Ptolemy
complicate everything with epicycles.
But I do not know. i have simple minded.
No.
the heavens
should be simple.
So am I right or..?
what if ...
What if there were simple explanation about the wanders
There is.
But it's so absurd, so old
that no one is give it credit.
What theory is that?
Theory Aristarchus
Aristarchus argued
that the earth moves.
The behavior of the wandering
is only an optical illusion
produced by our movement
in combination with his around the sun.
-A heliocentric model. That's right.
The sun would be at the center,
as it his deal King of the stars.
And make as just.. be another wanderer. His work was lost
in the fire that destroyed mother's library.
That's way we have to take great care of this place.
Our library
is all that remains the wisdom of men.
But every time dropping an object ...
Who speaks?
Forgive me mistress, love.
i was listening.
Speak up, Davo.
If the earth is moving,
every time dropping an object,
should fall further behind.
And the wind always blow against us.
And the birds would be wipe on.
I told you
the hypothesis of Aristarchus that no sense at all.
I feel that what you said be refuted.
But right now I do not know how.
Make way for the prefect!
Make way!
Make way for the prefect!
Make way!
Listen everyone!
Prepare to listen and obey the verdict of our emperor
I, Flavius
Theodosius Augustus
emperor and supreme Head of the provinces of the Orion,
having been informed
the event notice recently in city Alexandria,
hereby declare and command
let me insurgents be forgiven and released ...
In exchange for my generosity,
the insurgents leave the Serapeum and the Library immediately
allowing Christians to enter
and make use of facilities
whatever you like.
What can we expect? We destroy everything!
Pagans will leave ..!
The Books.
And they will be escorted to their homes.
Obey immediately!
Keep yourself together!
Send half a regiment the other side.
We will send the rest later.
Yes, sir.
Prefect.
I want they may not contain long.
On the cross! On the cross!
Keep yourself together!
Let the minor works!
- What are the minor works? - take only important!
The soldiers retreated!
Slave
- Have you seen my mistress? - Just get out here and help!
- We can not with so many! We need for help.
Please don't get my father here.
Slave
Come on!
Come on, quickly!
Hypatia and her students follow in the atrium.
Are they crazy?
If they want, let them burn.
Come on!
Quickly!
Lady.
Where were you? Take out that sack.
Lady We have to go. - Take out the sack
My slaves never around when you need it.
I was ... - Move move quickly!
Idiot!
Run!
This no time!
Lady!
We gotta go. You have to leave.
God is one!
Run!
Davo!
Where are you going?
- We gotta go! - Where are you going?
If you want to die by our gods, let him.
Davo, do not.
- Come on! - Davo!
- Davo, no! - Come!
By the cross
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Slave
Davo!
Davo the slave!
Help me with this!
Help!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Pagan scum!
The most of wound be ulcerated.
I know.
Davo.
Davo!
You are free.
Go.
From now on, in Alexandria
only permitted ceremonies Christian and Jewish.
pagan sacrifices,
the worship of pagan symbols
and visits to pagan temples are prohibited.
If someone makes such acts or even look at the statues
of their ancient gods, shall be punished without mercy.
Damn Jews!
They're just a bunch of thugs, a bunch of animals.
Joran, my dear friend, calm down.
Let Bishop Cyril begun his own depend.
Prefect
our blessed parabolans,
Hung hi has just called
me..? the bird,
default them self .. strong enough to carry loads
repel, six, levers ...
And stones!
Prefect can carry stones.
I know they was enter the theater
and stoned knowing we'll do nothing to defend
Non sense. Because it is the Sabbath!
On the Sabbath you should honor God
in your synagogues instead stopping yourself
set in theater.
Therefore I showered stones.
Prefect, you hear that? Now he threatened us. It is too much..
Friends, there are more things that unite us than divide us.
We are brothers! We are all brothers
Where would you Christians be
without the Jews? Jesus was a Jew!
Jesus was Jewish!
There is .a .something I find
stubbing what You've told.
- What? Well,
Why Cyril begin to cleaning up the city?
is he not satisfied with what they already have?
He just wants to scare the Jews.
but why you say then before..
What if really interesting.. you and not them?
Me?
Why? I'm as Christian as he.
Yes, but forget
that many of your friends that circle are not.
A full sail, prefect.
Lets go.
-Aspasius, you ready? Yes, mistress.
I would like you to take the sack and flying to top the mast.
And now, Lady,
Will you finally tell me what the point?
When Aspasius
drop the sack, the boat will be moving forward.
Therefore, the sack
not fall at the foot of the mast,
but will fall further back. About ...
here.
And what's so special about that?
- Yes! - But You're wrong!
Yes, but this is definitely proved
definitive. The sack
has behaved as if the boat stationary.
What does that mean?
i do not know.
But the same principle can be applied to the Earth.
we could be moving around the sun without our knowledge.
-Aristarchus. Exactly.
Why are you troubled yourself by that, Lady?
Ptolemy not perfect,
but it works.
Orestes, as this with you warrior ...
A few years ago you was not so pragmatic, prefect.
A few years ago i spoke first before thinking.
I have Cepheus third.
37.
48.
Venus and Mars
share house in Aquarius.
My father would have celebrated something like a good wine.
The stars will not fall. - Really?
No, because they are subject to the hood.
The lid opens two heart and Jesus will appear.
What chance for you talking about?
Do not you know that the universe is a huge chest, don't you?
They laid on top and the Earth ground.
In this idiot not been told that the Earth is round!
The Earth is flat.
Your head is really flat.
Read the Scriptures!
If the earth is round,
Why not the people that live in the bottom, fall out?
What about the one sides?
Why not slip?
Think about it.
Davo knows.
hi Brother.
What do you say?
Does the earth is flat or round?
Only God knows these things.
Leave them in the ground!
Where they are belong!
Lady, do not despair.
Today in the boat you make great progress.
Why do the wandering very that rightness
so unexpected?
And what is worse,
Why does the sun?
Why is change size summer to winter?
Perhaps it's because
sometimes is nearer
and sometimes farther?
But Aspasia
watch.
According Aristarchus, the sun must be
in the center of everything.
With us, the Earth,
traveling in a circle around him.
Therefore,
and this is the key
We are always exactly
same ...
distance.
If, as you say, accept that changes the distance,
that forces us to add
epicycle into orbit Earth.
To be closer and then farther away.
Now then we fall in the same trap as Ptolemy.
-circles upon circles. - Exactly!
I do not know how to solve this conflict.
let me know we can do it
if shifting the center ..well.
And not having a center
My heart, Aspasia.
So,
What do we do?
Resting, lady.
Parabolans!
- Parabolans! - What happens?
parabolans, quick! Help!
San Alejandro is on fire!
It is a fire.
Come on!
Gather water! The cube! Take it!
Hurry!
Come, come!
Parabolans!
Parabolans, quick!
Where's the fire?
Jews! It's a trap.
It's a trap!
Christians all
last night is one night was deplorable.
Now I say to you .
Grave no longer for our dead brothers.
weep not.
Said you killed for the others,
but they are executioners.
Yes, yes.
Weep for them. Then they
they know neither God,
neither love nor holiness.
I do not know.
because in this day
who repeated the Scriptures without understanding at all.
It is they who saw only a man
when the Son of God standing on the front of us.
And it is they who
in their blindness mocked Him and crucified him.
Yes
Weep! Weep for the Jews,
the murderers of our Lord.
Because God ...
God has already condemned.
It is God will..
to live as slaves,
cursed and exiled until the end of time.
Damn and exiles!
Lady, do not stop, Lady.
Now whole the Jews want revenge!
I'm afraid you do not understand what is really happening.
When this is over, would be no more Jews in Alexandria.
Sorry to interrupt like this.
Lady, you know risk to coming here.
Where are the troops?
Why do not more soldiers on the streets?
No army can contain entire city.
Calling to the annihilation of Women and Children
A bishop!
- A Christian! Then lock him up.
Prefect
You should have an arrested.
not so easy.
Lady,
Cyril knows we both share the same faith.
That place our prefect in the
very out of position.
If he defends the Jews, half the city will rise
against this government.
I see.
But if you do nothing now,
I believe that Cyril
will continue do the same thing over and over again
until no people for this government to govern.
How naive with me.
How naive I was to think with Jews.
Jews out!
is the first kill them
and then buried them.
The Bishop of Cyrene.
- What is he doing here? I'll find out
It's my little library of Alexandria.
This is where I teach children.
A cone of Apollonius.
Yes, I did it to teach the four corners.
Circle,
the ellipse ...
Orestes and should be here by now.
The parabole
and hyperbola.
It's beautiful.
Often I look and wonder
why the circle co axis
is such impure shapes.
What i get to sit here again
I bored you.
A long time not do nothing to hit my head.
And there are more important issues to deal with.
Forgive me.
Two Christians in the hands of a pagan.
It's outrageous!
outrageous.
- How many? I do not know, but it will stink.
Ammonium.
Does God speak to you?
All the time.
Ammonium> this, Ammonius that. Ammonia, Ammonia, Ammonium ...''
Today he spooked to me
so quickly that I had to asking slow down
Tell me something.
Did you ever think what is taken?
Why?
who's forgiven,
but now, I can not forgive.
Forgive?
Who?
Jews?
Jesus forgave on the cross.
Jesus was God
and only he can show such leniency.
How dare you to compare yourself to God?
Brother.
You're still alive.
Why?
Because it was
His will save us on the stones.
God wants us here, doing what we do.
To believe in that belief?
My Lord ...
Cyril is very proud man.
Agree to meet but will not discuss the Jews, only discuss peace.
Peace?
My suggestion, as your humble adviser in this case,
you accept.
Let peace be the first.
Lady, what do you think? No..I ...
It does not seem very encouraging.
Why would I want to come to see Orestes
-without concrete proposals? something else
He want come to you.
Demands that you see in the Library
during the service on Sunday.
In the Library? Why?
Only Christians have entered there since its looting.
It is a provocation!
I'll make a suggestion.
If you think that your presence
so essential
Why not let you baptize?
Most of us, beginning
by the prefect, have accepted Christ.
Why not the rest of you?
only a matter of time and you know it!
Really?
Is it only a matter of time?
Excuse me,
Honorable Member but far time away..
your God has not yet proved
more judge or more compassionate than their predecessors.
Lady.
Is it really just a matter of time before I accept your faith?
Why, then,
should this assembly
accept the consult of someone who ability dilution
absolutely nothing?
I believe in philosophy.
Philosophy.
Just what we need
in such times.
Enough!
I've been studying
absolutely no life. for my own
And I wonder
wow. - Forget about what i said today.
Is all life holds for me?
What else?
I doubt anyone can see
as devoted wife
and mother.
I think ...
I think the whole city know the history of the handkerchief.
So ...
My father loved that one.
Even he ...
Who have the loved?
Except you,
Lebanon.
If only I could ...
fathom this ...
a little more.
And get a little closer the response,
then ...
enough go to grave, happy.
Why?
Why that's mean so much to you?
Right now,
this every second, whole earth could be moving
and no one realized it.
Except you and me
Believe me Lady, it's best that nobody notices.
Really not it important?
i Do not understand why you insist moving the ground they walk on.
Dress yourself what happened on the boat.
Yes i dit,But that does not mean this sailing on the earth moves.
What if it does
Hypatia, look around.
Death,
horror
destruction.
If the stars move in the Circle,
why they share perfection with us
So we are not moving.
In circle.
We do not move ...
circle.
We move in circles.
Since Plato,
all of them: Aristarchus Hipparchus, Ptolemy,
all have tried reconcile their observations
with circular orbits.
but What happen otherwise hidden
Another way?
Lady, There is no purer than the circle, you yourself have taught us.
I know, but suppose
that the purity
the circle prevented us from seeing beyond.
Just like the sunshine prevents us from seeing
stars.
I must begin again
with new eyes.
I have to rethink everything.
All.
Reading the first letter Paul to Timothy.
I therefore wish that everywhere
men would lift their prayers
without anger or disputes.
Equally,
that women desire
dress modestly,
decency and propriety
without braids in her hair
or gold or pearls
or expensive clothes,
-but with good deeds.'' - Why read this passage?
I do not know, I promise which is not agreed.
Let the woman learn
quiet and full submission, i can't allow a woman
to teach or have authority over a man,
but to be
silent
This is the word of God!
Amen.
Jesus himself
knew this when
he entrusted his sacred legacy twelve men.
Men.
Nothing woman among them.
And yet,
know some in Alexandria
they admire and even trust in words
obey woman.
The philosopher Hypatia.
A woman who declare,
in public, her impiety.
A witch!

Death defending your faith in Christ,
I proclaimed you one mother,
a saint.
From now on you shall be known as
Saint Taumasius.
we want justice!
Justice!
May God show us the way, my dear
parabolani. Little more can I say to you.
What about monks of Nitria?
has at least 500 of them.
plus 500 ...
of our men? I think is enough, It's prefect!
You have whole army to protect.
Listen!
Why did can not we do more easy and effective?
What do you talking about?
We can hurts........
How?
That a whore. - Who?
What if we dared to look at the world just as it is
let's shake for a moment every preconceived ideas.
What shape would it show us? what shape
You said once the problem is the inconsistency of the sun.
Yes I did, good..good Put it into words.
The sun must be at the center as we turned around.
And at the same time
in another position seen the distance from it varies.
Yes, exactly. - How?
How could occupy two position?
How can occupy two position at once?
How can occupy two position ?
Aspasius ...
Yes, yes. There. And the other one here.
Maintaining the same proportion.
Okay. Tie this end there.
Aspasia
imagines that this is Earth
and the each of flames represent the two extreme positions of the sun relation to it:
in winter and summer.
What happen if both positions were the two centers
of the same circle
That is impossible, mistress.
wait what we know about the circle? We know that center of the circles
is always same distance to any point its perimeter.
Exactly. Yes.
What if the center divided into two
but keep constant the sum distances to its perimeter
Okay, I'll show you what. As I move this rod along
the rope, a segment increases
and the other decreases. And vice versa.
Thus the sum of the two always..
constant. You see that?
We apply this, to the movement
Earth?
What ...
will be ...
obtained ?
An ellipse!
An ellipse with the sun in one focus.
Because,
what is the circle but
special ellipse
whose foci are so close to get that seem one
complete and ready, Aspasia.
i mean That is, what is this? Maybe i just .. ..
Perhaps you ...
What do you think?
This could be solved, mistress.
Well done, we will with this tomorrow.
Get some sleep.
Good night, mistress. Good night.
Thank you.
Davo!
What are you doing?
Lady.
Let me see.
Why do not you sit down?
Where is everybody?
Please sit down.

All the dignitaries
that have not yet embraced Christian faith
should be baptized
in public.
The aim very clear:
add to our cause all Christians in the city,
decent people, better
to fight for me.
You speak of battling faith.
Okay.
It's seem already decided, I do not understand to that required my presence here.
I'm not a member of the government.
no you're more than that. You are the person that i trust most,
and everyone knows it.
It might say that.
Lady.
years ago ...
Years ago you taught us something.
If ...
If two are
equal to one another,
all are equal to each other. Do you remember?
Yes
All three of us, we are good people!
And you are so Christian as we are!

- ..The prefect so hard? - Pagan!
whore.
look,
she's not reacting.
she's scream all right with the skin on the knife.
- How many of you have a knife? - None
Do not stand your hands with impure blood.
Lets cool her!
This witch get some stones.
- Quickly! Whatever we threw Orestes
he still here.
I'll stay with her.
She has fainted.
The body of Hipatia was mutilated and the remains...
...were dragged through the streets and burned in a fire.
Orestes was outlawed forever and Cirilo...
...took control of the power in Alexandria.
Later, Cirilo was declared a Saint and Doctor of the Church.
Although not any of Hipatia works remains,
it is known that she was an exceptional astronomer,
well-known for the mathematical study of conical curves.
One thousand, two hundred years later,
in the 17th century, astronomer Johannes Kepler...
...described that one of those curves,...
...the ellipse, governs the movement of the planets.
