Cyril is correct.
Didn't know this history at all till now. Christians fighting with Jews, Christians seizing power. Sounds like a prelude of the Crusades in Egypt or was it following the evil Crusades?.

pretty sure this antedates Crusades by hundreds of years
@sassygirl3869 Hypatia (born c. 350–370; died 415 AD) was a Hellenistic Neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, then part of the Eastern Roman Empire. She was the head of the Neoplatonic school at Alexandria, where she taught philosophy and astronomy. She is the first female mathematician whose life is reasonably well recorded.
There is a movie about her.
No hate like christian love.
