As pagans barricade the ancient temple, defending it with stones and clubs, tensions rise. The conflict began when Bishop Theophilus exposed a secret pagan temple, inciting fury among the pagans who retaliated by taking Christian hostages. As violence escalates, a message from Theophilus offers a deal—surrender and be pardoned or face execution. The pagans capitulate, but the Serapeum's destruction follows.

"Guys, what on Earth happened to love thy neighbour as thyself?" That's what I'd have said had I been there. Then again, I've been keenly eyeing a video game on Steam entitled Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come, so I probably shouldn't be talking.

This video has been on Nebula for five days before coming into Patreon feed. The last few videos have been the same: Nebula first, and then Patreon about a week later. Any particular reason for that?

Historically, having multiple religions together is ALWAYS a recipe for disaster, up to and including religion-based revolts. 'Freedom of Religion' is a very recent (as in the last 6 or less centuries) concept in human sociology, and the historical trend is still trending despite that.

You’d probably get a response along the lines of: “They’re not my neighbors, and now neither are you!”

This is the same Cyril from the early Christian schisms videos! It is really fun to see how these stories from history interact, crossover and affect one another.

Someone who gets power then turns on the people who opposed him. That sounds so familiar.

oh boy the comment about Neoplatonists not worshiping Zeus is wrong. So many of their authors mention the Hellenic deities by name, most commonly Zeus but others are mentioned too. Proclus, Imbalchus, Plotinus, Salitius, and of course Plato himself, all talk about the Theoi, about the Gods. Some of them wrote books that were just about them, Salitius' most famous work is called on the Gods and the Cosmos after all and he was an adviser to Julian the Philosopher. Platonism, especially NeoPlatonism, is a lot like the Hindu Philosophical tradition of Advaita Vedanta. The two philosophical traditions are very similar in world view and yet Advaita Vedanta is clearly considered(and rightfully so) in the Hindu world view. I did write up a more longer post for lies though.
