If the many worlds theory allowed for diversion points in history, the modern world in which Santorini did not erupt would be intriguing to say the least. Given that is not apparent to provide reference to the Santorini eruption does appear to be responsible for the subsequent schism that occurred in the cultural philosophies that were generated in the 120-30 years before the sub-dermis of Mediterranean seafloor swallowed a little too much water and coughed up what is likely to have been an easily comparable number of dead for that part of the world as occurred with the Indonesian tidal wave.

The importance of highlighting the greater actions of Ghandas to the peoples of the Mid-East is of importance to me because it is obvious with investigation of factual evidence that the growth of their religious philosophies has not generated the order they have sought. The origin of their philosophies is the old testament which was instituted upon them by sheer force of reason after Ghandas gathered his tribes and conquified Babylon.

Due to the sudden appearance of The Sea Peoples as a Mid-Eastern state coinciding with Ghandas’s domination it only follows that his relationship with these peoples will have factored heavily in his influence on the goat-herding tribes he gathered. This factor is the first of many similarities to the gathering of the mongols by Ghenghis who first gathered the outcasts before he united the tribes.

Wookie brought up the Etruscans, who follow the same philosophical heritage that mark all the remnants of The Sea Peoples after they were conquered by the post disaster Babylonians hundreds of years later. The rise of the Greeks reflects strong elements of being influenced by Ghandas and the culture that briefly flourished as Minoa.

There is a strong contrast between the philosophies that developed in the peoples that Ghandas gathered and those that he conquered, which effectively includes Egypt considering the Canaanites who took the throne there could not have done so without his alliance. Their subsequent dismissal from the Egyptian government occurs shortly after Santorini left it’s ultimate effects and provides a baseline to the schism that occurs in religion/philosophy that occurs for the entire region at that time.

The original people it appears that Ghandas gathered and gave a place in ‘civilized’ society are the seafaring equivalent of the role that herding tribes will have played on land. Once The Sea Peoples are scattered by the later Babylonians they retreat back to the Greek islands and evolve democracy and yadayah.

The people he conquered smoulder in resentment till such time as they have taken back what they never lost except in public title and turn on themselves when they find they are in absence of anyone to pick on. Where the gathered peoples, even when conquered and returned to disgrace, regather, institute democracy, debate and sport as cultural philosophies, the ‘fundamentalists’ chose to foster a perception of themselves as the god-given inheritors of the earth.

The parable that stands out among the many is their account of “The Tower Of Babel” which reflects upon the destruction of the efforts at Santorini. Instead of ‘trying to reach the moon’, Ghandas’s tower, aka Solomons Temple, appears to have been an effort to institute a set of global laws that fell outside of religious boundaries that would allow all nations to interact peacefully. Instead of the failure they portray the tower as it genuinely rose as democracy and capitalism of both eastern and western variety.

If the argument be one of ‘god given right to the earth’ then it has little to do with any genuine spirituality. Competition by religion is, firstly, an entirely counter-religious endeavour and secondly of no worth to the evolution of humanity.

No need to be wary.

Everything in question has been dealt with with no problematics within the goalpoasts originally set. The man in question is a true gentleman of his word. You pay it back when you can with no intersest on the loan required. No constraints. Pay it back whenever you can. I paid it in two installments when that amount had no others wanting it. Fortuitiously for him, both payments came at times he needed it.

Looking for an estimate of the Minoan death toll, the eruption of Huaynaputina in Peru in 1600 led to the death of approximately 1/3rd/2 million the Russian population through famine. This seems a reasonable approximation of the devastation tsunamis of that size will have left around the Mediterranean. Due to the fact that populations at the time preferred to camp near rivers or oceans it would require an estimate of the population of the Mediterranean shores to provide a more accurate guide.

Due to the fact that populations at the time preferred to camp near rivers or oceans it would require an estimate of the population of the Mediterranean shores to provide a more accurate guide.

It is also evident that the 130 years previous to the eruption saw a population explosion associated with The Sea Peoples and trade that Ghandas brought to the area.

The Old Testament cannot be considered religion. It is as an historical(the Python might say ‘hysterical’) record that cannot be taken seriously. It can only be the fabrication of the 2nd Babylonian Empire intended to erase record of the former rulers and re-establish the philosophical dominance of the southern rather than eastern tribes while using the ingrained family memories of an event that reshaped the foreseeable future of the globe at that time. In this it is only cynical in it’s intent and therefore any particular person’s ‘religion’ that includes truth as a central virtue can only be fallible if it is also faithful to this record’s authenticity.

Much of the modern world’s religion is based on events subsequent to those of the old word. The New Testament must be evaluated as it is presented, which is somewhat cognisant, albeit in the vague and coded manner of the Hebrew tradition, that there is a conspiracy within the temple. As an anthropological record it only requires the accurate sub-text to be underscored.

If public disclosure is considerable a device of public benefit it follows that international agreement on the actual events central to any particular secular denomination’s faith be at the very least, non-counter factual. Personal faith in divinity has little to answer for next to organised collusion to establish moral domination in the world’s affairs through amorally convenient memories.

I find the notion that small differences can lead to huge differences quite intriguing. Not long ago, I saw a TV show in which a very small domino was able to ultimately knock over a very large domino (via intermediate steps of intermediate-sized dominos).

If the many worlds theory allowed for diversion points in history, the modern world in which Santorini did not erupt would be intriguing to say the least.

I find the notion that small differences can lead to huge differences quite intriguing. Not long ago, I saw a TV show in which a very small domino was able to ultimately knock over a very large domino (via intermediate steps of intermediate-sized dominos).

when I start a job some where I tend to notice the small things , things being left out, small but important things being left out or ignored, it’s a reflection of the mindset because it points to protocol being ignored to the letter before you know it things go wrong in a big way. all the compound interest of small but critical things being missing or unavailable despite asking points to a business on its way out. the power station I worked at didn’t even have any wood screws for me to use and wouldn’t buy them either even though they needed a job done – I eventually found some with my torch in the shadows under shelving where no one went. the used to go belly up on a regular basis, people being sacked etc. when the electrician I worked with mentioned people were having accidents due to bad electrics he was down the road 2 hours later , I left a few hours later after deciding it was too dangerous to work there anymore.
