Description :
Hypatia (355-415 AD) was a philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer from Alexandria, Egypt. She taught science and was respected by all for her knowledge. She was a political advisor, and her influence was feared by the powerful men of the Christian church, who in 415 AD, during a riot, attacked her in the street, dragged her into a church, and, once she was brutally killed, burned her remains, along with her knowledge.
