Скачать или смотреть Flayed Alive by a Mob: The Terrifying End of Hypatia of Alexandria

In 415 CE, one of history's greatest minds met an end so brutal it still shocks historians today. Hypatia of Alexandria—mathematician, astronomer, and the last great philosopher of the ancient world—was murdered in broad daylight by a religious mob who saw her wisdom as witchcraft and her influence as a threat to their rising power.

This documentary examines the tragic intersection of politics, religion, and misogyny that led to one of antiquity's most horrific crimes. Drawing from contemporary accounts by Socrates Scholasticus, John of Nikiu, and other primary sources, we reconstruct Hypatia's final days and the systematic campaign of hatred that preceded her murder.

Hypatia's story is more than ancient history—it's a timeless warning about what happens when extremism silences reason, when mobs are given moral authority, and when political ambition wears the mask of religious righteousness. Her legacy challenges us to defend intellectual freedom and resist the forces that would drag us back into darkness.
