How historically accurate is this movie?

It's basically completely ficticious apart from the names of some of the characters. Google "Armarium Magnum Agora", since actually linking to it gets caught in the spam filter.

Not

I did not know about this. It's usually hard to get me pissy about entertainment but between this and Gods of Egypt I actually feel a bit salty.

It's just a movie.

It's based on a real horrific even perpetuated by Christians, but it still extremely distorted by propaganda, like the Christians screaming, "Burning the scrolls!" and burning all the books and stuff.

Movies and shows and games and books are what culture is made of. Things like this movie which rehashes a bunch of lies are the reason most people, even most people on this board, continue to believe and spread those lies. There are few things that can do as much damage to popular perceptions as a popular movie.

The Christians really did that user.

Nothing is known about Hypatia because the Christians burned everything. The movie gets the setting right and is full of nice authentic touches, but the story itself is basically fiction.

I fapped to the scene in which she is killed

Christians burned works preaching faulty Christian doctrine, that's about it.

Those two posts seem to be conflicting.

Such works are not in the film, they're just senselessly burning books of philosophy and science in the film.

Go check out History Buff on youtube! The review was really good!

The Christian is lying, as they always do. Even most Christian historians agree Hypatia's work was destroyed by the early Church.

this films like "the 300" make it obvious they are fiction, but this masquerades as actual history

You mean biased right
Just check the comments and the Reddit response thread

It is not the specific job of movies to teach history.
If people wanted a history debate or show they would go and watch that. IN a movie most plebs usually look for dramatization.

Well clearly most people didn't get that memo because everyone I know who saw that movie came out convinced that rabid science-hating Christians really burned down the Great Library of Alexandria.

It really isn't. He unironically believes in this chart.
