New trailer for Agora looks great!
It's about Hypatia, perhaps the greatest woman in history. She was a renowned scholar attempting to hold back the tides of ignorance and chaos at the fall of classical civilization in Alexandria. Carl Sagan called her the last Librarian at the great Library of Alexandria, and linked her death with it's destruction in his "Cosmos" series. For certain, at a time when Christianity sought to forcibly curtail knowledge and cast civilization into the dark ages of learning that were coming, Hypatia was one of the only people brave enough to stand in it's path. She was murdered by a mob for her convictions.
