@freemo Yeah... A lot of knowledge was lost. Always sad.

@freemo I'm still pissed off at the murder of Hypatia.

@freemo @Nyoei Have you ever heard the tragedy of Archimedes the Wise?

@Nyoei @freemo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimed In short, the Romans were attacking Syracuse, where Archimedes lived and worked. He was supposed to be captured alive, due to his value as a scientist, but he was killed by a Roman soldier instead, supposedly saying 'Don't disturb my circles' because he was still working on mathematics like a madman when the city was on fire.
