Hypatia was a young and intelligent young lady who was very into her studies and the teaching of her students. Although she was a Jewish she did not care much about religion. Her focus was more on her teaching and her students. Her teaching was base on astronomy, mathematics and philosophy. Her students were slaves and had much respect for her. The only problem was that being a Jewish school some of the students were Christian and a bit of animosity was brewing. Outside of the school the community was in an uproar with some of the towns people Jewish and some Christian.

When they do this they turn to the Jews and ask them now if your GOD were just as good perhaps they would be able to do the same. When the Jews say that is not the way it is, the Christian grab the Jews person and throw him into the fire in an attempt to prove that if the Jews GOD was so great why did he let one of his owe kind burn. This incident made a lot of people to change believe and leave the Jew religion and become Christian.

Her students had much respect for her and that would be the last of that discussion for now.

On one of those arguments the Jews feel that the Christian have insulted them and they must have a form of payback. They call for everyone in the school and start talking on how the Christian have insulted
