Late Breaking News Flash:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE :
We are living in a world shaped by a criminal conspiracy against humanity, which deliberately deflected the course of history and placed a self-appointed organization of elites in control of our collective destiny. The defining event was a politically-motivated murder of an influential and learned figure by a mob incited to violence by a few religious fanatics. Their aim was to secure the dominance of a newly formulated belief system over all other philosophies; and to eradicate or discredit scientific achievements and recorded histories up to that time.
More devastating than the genocide of a race, or the extermination of a country, this criminal act obliterated a world view which had spanned many countries and cultures, to be replaced by a conspiracy which effectively buried the arts, literature, and sciences which had shaped the world during the preceding millennium.
The assassination happened 15 centuries ago in Alexandria, Egypt. The target was the last director of the Great Library, a physicist and philosopher named Hypatia.
The Library and "paganism" itself did not survive the attack of the new leaders who proceeded to take over the reins of power from the decaying Roman Empire. This transition from a secular government to the "Holy Roman Empire" marked the beginning of the Dark Ages, an era of intolerance and superstition during which the church wielded supreme authority over most of Europe. Their power was consolidated and maintained by ruthlessly demonizing and eliminating those opposed to their faith, labeling them heretics, extracting confessions by torture and making public displays of their fiery executions, as a warning and foretaste of the fate awaiting disbelievers. Their domination was nearly absolute for a thousand years, controlling kingdoms by arranging international treaties and royal marriages.
Although the age of discovery and the subsequent renaissance in the 16th century did much to release the world from this anti-scientific paradigm, the modern age continues to suffer the effects of the totalitarian rule which the religious right held and still holds over many believers.
Try to imagine what our world would be like today if the Nazis had defeated the Allies in WWII; and succeeded in effecting the "final solution", exterminating not only the Jewish people; but also all records of achievements by Jews in the arts and sciences, allowing only the official "Pure Aryan" version to survive. What kind of place would the world be after a thousand years of such revisionism? Could the people living in that hypothetical world know anything, outside of the propagandized version of history?
This is much the same situation in which we live today, cut off from the world view of our "pagan" past. Some fragments and myths which survived the drastic censorship have been brought to light. Some of the works of Homer, Archimedes, Socrates and other luminaries were recovered.
The truth has yet to surface.
