In March of 415 CE, a mob of angry christians attacked Hypatia and dragged her to their new Caesareum church. There they took tiles and broken clay pots and proceeded to cut the skin off her body. When she was completely flayed they burned her alive.

This was all condoned and encouraged by “Saint” Cyril of Alexandria. Under his reign all non-christians were persecuted, murdered, and imprisoned. The great bastion on knowledge, the Library of Alexandria, was pillaged and burned. The murder of Hypatia is considered by some to mark the end of classical antiquity.
