Inside the larger structure, there was a huge hall, with living quarters on lower floors where there used to be the scribes -- the few educated people in the known world at the time -- transcribing religious texts.

That's really cool! somehow, your description brings several scenes of Athelstan in the Vikings series to mind :) Wrong location, but exactly what he did in some episodes

-- Got any spare change? -- No, change come from within! [And so does courage. So -- thank yourself, first!]
I didn't used to think to thank myself at all...baby steps! Thank you, Sam for not being too proud to take those baby steps!!! ;)
For being courageous enough ...
Yes, courageous enough and at the perfect time.
That's what it's all about! Aaaand ... You do the hokey-pokey, and ...
