Have you even heard of it?
Probably not.
I only have because it was advertised EVERYWHERE when I was in Rome this spring. It releases on DVD soon and will be available on Netflix. I watched it a few months back... it's interesting. Very thought-provoking.
But, beyond the message of the movie, I began to think about the parts of Egypt I didn't see.
Specifically Alexandria (the setting of Agora... you see, it all comes together!).
Today I'm thinking about ancient libraries filled with the Wisdom of the Ages; Roman-Egyptian streets and Philosphers; A white-stone city on the shores of the Mediterranean sea that was once the bedrock of modern civilization.
