The Lie-brary in Ephesus makes us wonder what old-world building methods technologies were lost to the fire of Alexandria, and why our modern day methods are so shoddy and short-sighted.. #plebchain #travelstr #history His-story written by the victors.
Discussion
One of the things lost to history, especially to this generation, is the modern day myth of the fire of Alexandria. It did not happen the way many portray it. The loss of documents started happened long before the fire, which was smaller and less catastrophic than represented. The fire was a symbol of something that had already begun.
Exactly, when I say the fire of Alexandria, I mean the campaign and agenda of destroying all the old-world knowledge and wisdom culminating in "colonialism" and by the late 1800s when his-tory was completely rewritten and obscured, that is one theory anyways.
first off, my notes are sounding too much like a personal attack, and i dont like that. so…. hey 👋 i think the kinds of things that interest you are really cool 🙂
second, we definitely have had our history obscured. but this has happened in every single empire, and in every single empire transition. but in my wandering around document fragments and opinions, it seems like the British Colonial Empire combined with its Darwinian evolutionary fervor, wiped out more history that all empires before it.
I mean, the british paradigm didnt “discover” Antarctica until the 1800s, but exists on source maps dating back almost a millennia before.
Yes that is for sure. The culmination of a very long and drawn out agenda and process in my opinion. So many obvious holes. It is really fun and fascinating to piece it all together as so many new things are resurfacing. I had a wonderful time in Mesopotamia where there is sooo much depth everywhere.
This process was alluded to in the Bible with an event that took place in Ephesus, the place in the photos I took, where upon accepting the new religion of Christianity the local people burned all their very expensive (valuable) spiritual books.
Yeah thats largely anti Christian propaganda. Same kind of deal where Nero blamed the Christians for him burning large parts of Rome. It his case, political nonsense. In yours, believing a myth. The idea that a great and hidden lost repository or knowledge was lost (from some important lost civilization) and burned by those damned Christians.
lol.
We should call this the History Channel Religion.
At MOST a quarter of the library was lost in the fire. And not the part where the most precious documents were kept. Those were only available to rich Aristocrats. The library was broken up and moved to different places, and lost to the decline of an Empire.
I think you may be a little sensitive, not everything that remerges can be classified anti-Christian propaganda, just because it may cause you to question the version of history you have been sold. I have seen evidence of lost advanced civilizations almost everywhere I have traveled with my own eyes, and it is astonishing, and so please cease from labeling concretely my observations as believing a myth, and refrain from passing judgements out loud to people on social media that you have not met, that you would not say to them in person. And I do not doubt the claims your are making about the process in which Alexandria was lost. But if you are so sure of all of your claims I would ask if your sources are from main stream institutions and historians?
This is a fallacious argument.
2 specific events is far from “everything”. That is bias.
But we are all bias in one way or another.
Do i seem like a “mainstream” sources guy to you? hahahha😂
I try to look at everything. but mostly i try to discern bandwagonism. when you can discern the different “cant be wrong” ideologies, you can discern where they will get things wrong. not always, but it works pretty well.
The latest bandwagonism group is the “history is a lie” bandwagon. Of course history is filled with lies. But this one has that particular millennial false conclusion tendency. Where it blames the wrong group or cause, because of a “hero” identity, and finds surface level solutions, rather than understanding the overall, overarching pattern of mans flaws, the inevitable fallacies of historical pendulum swings, and that everyone seeks the Ring of Power.
i try to read sources where they can be found. or copies of sources (i.e Manetho copied by others), but i also read myth legends. (sumerian stuff) and look for patterns.
but i tend to favor the Hebrew accounts and the Jewish writings.
Great. That is what I am talking about, there is enough history that is a lie that more and more of us are becoming aware of at least to where we are now taking personal responsibility to do our own research, think on our own, and be our own archeologists. This is what is thrilling and exciting to me. Am I claiming all history is a lie, far from it, but just saying that when quick to label, well maybe you should get to know me better before throwing out all of your judgements. I am not representing any particular school of thought or new agenda, merely sharing some of my personal observations and travel photos and would like to do so without any aggressive critiques, just saying. At any rate, what a fascinating discussion this is turning out to be, and thanks for sharing some of your methods. Have a great night.
