===Later schools and libraries in Alexandria=== Nonetheless, Hypatia was not the last pagan in Alexandria, nor was she the last Neoplatonist philosopher.{{sfn|Booth|2017|pages=151β152}}{{sfn|Watts|2017|pages=154β155}} Neoplatonism and paganism both survived in Alexandria and throughout the eastern Mediterranean for centuries after her death.{{sfn|Booth|2017|pages=151β152}}{{sfn|Watts|2017|pages=154β155}} British Egyptologist [[Charlotte Booth]] notes that many new academic lecture halls were built in Alexandria at Kom el-Dikka shortly after Hypatia's death, indicating that philosophy was clearly still taught in Alexandrian schools.{{sfn|Booth|2017|page=151}} The late fifth-century writers [[Zacharias Scholasticus]] and [[Aeneas of Gaza]] both speak of the "Mouseion" as occupying some kind of a physical space.{{sfn|Watts|2008|page=150}} Archaeologists have identified lecture halls dating to around this time period, located near, but not on, the site of the Ptolemaic Mouseion, which may be the "Mouseion" to which these writers refer.{{sfn|Watts|2008|page=150}}
