Open trade window with Russia and Arabia. Both have Alphabet, neither have Polytheism.

Both of them will pay everything they have for Polytheism.
Since we're doing group discussions on trading, I won't make any yet. I'd say that we trade it to Arabia first, because then we can see if Russia has Writing or Mathematics for trade for Polytheism.
