I have kind of a crazy idea. Walk with me for a sec. I came across the work of a russian scientist, Anatoly Fomenko. He worked out through old texts and mathematic calculations that there might be as many as 1000 years missing from the more recent historical timeline. You can sidestep and contextualize a lot of historical records, but the stars are pretty predictable. (take a look at his work, it is interesting to say the least). This Idea keeps coming up: missing time. But why? egocentric rulers that really wanted to rule in a specific timeline and changes in calendars aside, it is odd that these ideas keep cropping up. One thought of mine drifts towards the malevolent: If you can alter or erase the history of a population, their "roots" are severed, making them vulnerable to whatever narratives are presented. There is a lot of interesting 19th century thoughts, theories, and speculation that lends to this idea. But the Russian mathematician came up with a number in the early 1300s that might be todays current date. Why this is interesting is that if we rewind the clock back to the founding of the US and consider biblical statements such as "1000 years of peace and prosperity", it is a little interesting that the result of the timeframe around Americas founding, and subsequent events that can only be described as "living in interesting times" kinda lines up with this theory. Do I believe it? I leave a healthy amount of doubt for anything I come across. I just think its an interesting idea and it fills in some gaps and explains a bit why we are experiencing the cycles we see. Of course its not the full picture, just another data point. People will always fight and wage war as they always have. We have to concede that might be part of our feral nature. But the things we are experiencing on a global scale these days feel a bit less like human nature and a bit more like unbridled evil...like the old gods have awakened and have an insatiable thirst for humanity again. Just another crazy idea to add to the list to explore. Gonna try and cast a podstream on my new streamcastpod: "Order Of The Banished". EP. 1: Modern day slavery and how we got here.
