I first heard about this incident from Carl Sagan when I first saw "Cosmos." * Sagan said Hypatia was flayed alive with abalone shells, which today would probably get someone in trouble for abusing a protected shellfish species.

Sagan's thoughts on the Library of Alexandria were very stirring.

Sad to say, no single religion or culture has a monopoly on this kind of behaviour.
