I am getting ready to go back to Africa. It’s been a wonderful summer in NoVA, but in Sept, I’ll be there! I have been delving back into history this summer. Specifically about Calcutta, I am about to do a lot of videos that dig through old books I’ve found at the Library of Congress. I can’t figure it out yet, but I am getting there.
On a bigger picture, do you think sometimes we are still under Roman rule? We are still under their time and view of the world.
Is this (below) the history you learned about the Romans?
We were all misled and lied to in our history classes. It was a process of exclusion and erasure. Romans were obfuscated, and others were outright erased.
Did you know this?
Or this?
And this?
If this interests you, here are some videos on the subject. Dr. Roy Casagranda pushes back against the artificial East-West paradigm and shows how the so-called "Dark Ages" was a period with enormous intellectual achievement.
His part 3 and part 4 were pulled from the YT channel. It might have upset too many in the narrative. To me, it looks like the missing dates, the idea that 1000 years is missing, becomes less appealing the more you research the Moors, Ottomans, and other Islamic cultures. They were erased.
And if that isn’t a stretch, then be prepared for a fertile mental expansion from Old World Florida:
Love the vibe. Here on Substack, I’ve been trying fruitlessly to catch the eye of Classical Wisdom types, since much of my dangerous and groundbreaking knowledge would not have been possible without the input of several Greek myths. My co-author-far more experienced in these matters-tells me the same is true for Bible-thumpers as well: although our book would be NOTHING without the Good Book, as soon as they hear what we propose, they bury their heads in the sand.
So, yeah, I completely agree: History is told by the supposed winners. All other narratives are moot.
This is very interesting!
