Added 2024-06-14 17:30:01 +0000 UTCFrom Hypatia's tragic end in 415 CE to her portrayal in art and literature centuries later. We'll unravel how a middle-aged philosopher turned into a romanticized icon, spotlighting Charles Mitchell's 1885 painting and the Victorian novel that inspired it—making Hypatia into a symbol for various causes through the ages.

considering that Rome fell in 1453, Christianity was not to blame for its fall. Nor even the western empire.

For starters, not only are there many anatomical differences between humans and monkeys, I am autistic, and I am told autistic people often notice things other guys might miss. To be honest, I was more shocked that Matt swore when introducing Edward Gibbon. Also, I don't personally think Christianity was solely to blame for the final collapse of Rome, because, well, that is kind of mean; it was a number of different circumstances which happened to come together that, ultimately, brought down Rome. The Supreme Chicken had nothing to do with it, however. Or, if it did, it hid its involvement so well it hoped the humans wouldn't notice until internet was invented.
