Here is a good summary:

I only get picky about this because we're slamming Ken Ham for repeating falsehoods about history that support his ideology. I've seen the Hypatia story used in a similar fashion by atheists.
Good summary. I envy the certitude of the bloke who wrote it. Pretty sure he/she contradicts the book I have. Meh, the details don't matter imo.
That Hypatia was murdered by Christians of Alexandria is the point imo. Xians began murdering 'heretics' to start with beginning in the fourth century. Groups considered enemies was soon expanded to 'pagans', a very broad term at the time. Xians began insisting everyone be like them or else. That attitude persisted through and after the protestant reformation.
