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.
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.

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

Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.
How is to enjoy that make us swallow the faith

If you feel so bad, Report them to the prefect.
It might seem that you protecting them.

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.

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
