Agora

English subtitle by : Eduun

The late fourth century A.D. the

Roman Empire began to crumble.

Alexandria, in the province of Egypt,

still retained some of its lustre,...

...possessed one of the Seven

Wonders of the ancient world:...

...the legendary lighthouse,

and the biggest library known.

The library was a not only

cultural but a religious symbol,...

a place where the pagans worshiped

their ancestral gods.

The traditional pagan worship

in the city now coexisted...

...with the Jews, and an unstoppable

religion up to now banned,...

...Christianity.

Library of Alexandria, 391 A.D.

After taking the library, many

pagans were converted...

Hipatia continued teaching and

researching,...

...while his former students held...

...important positions in the

social elite.

The empire was split in two forever.

Many Christians saw this as a

sign of the end of the world...

...and decided to prepare by

practicing a more holy life.

The order of "Parabolanos" monks

was charged to go...

...through the streets and watch

for Christian morality...

...now uneven by the presence

of the Jews.

The Library, years later.

How many fools

have wondered

why not the stars fall

from the sky

But you,

not happy to cease of the wise, / i

do not move up or down. / i

only reborn

from east to west, / i

ever can see , / i

Because the circle reigns

in heaven, / i

the stars would never have fallen

and never will. / i

But what about here on Earth?

Here, bodies do fall.

But their movements

are not circular but linear.

Look again.

Again.

No, leave it.

So,

What mysterious wonder

do you would think / i

that may lurk beneath the earth

for every single person and animal, / i

and object and all laid exact

on there/ i

What may should be?

The highness, madame.

No.

Sinesio.

The weighty.

No, you both speaking about the same thing,

but you not talking about primary course. / i

Has anyone ever thought about

your..

your feet ...

your feet

standing perched on the

very center of the cosmos / i

that holds all things together,

pull them together

If there is no center,

the universe would be

deformed, infinite, formless,

chaotic. / i

Doesn't matter that we were

here, there or anywhere / i

What you will do? That's right

never being born

Library of Alexandria 391 AD

God, Our Father,

lord of the universe,

origin of all things,

eternal force of the cosmos,

its beginning and its end.

Something happens in the market.

This Orestes also foolish

his heart to another muse

The music.

Music / i

Divide with 14.

They behave like humans!

Eat, drink and fornicate! / I

Men, women,

birds, reptiles!

Serapis!

Serapis! Who could trust

the God, need a flower pot

for crown?

Hey You, Christians, how arrogant you

to take another

Empire attitude like this

My father's father saw them

slaughtered at the circus

and ate to the lions.

Enough! Watch.

Watch.

You see now

I walk cross the fire.

If my god ...

If my God is the true god,
