"ATlantis,
BAbylon/CNossos/DAedalus/EGgypt
& THe BIg BOom"

THIS
"happy" and sunny
and 'civilised' life lasted for
some centuries
........!

~

ABOUT 2000 B.C.
Cnossos and Babylon abounded in comfortable
and cultivated people who probably led
very pleasant
lives
..........?

~

THEY had shows
and they had religious festivals, they had domestic slaves
to look after them and industrial slaves
to make a profit
for them
...?!

~

LIFE
MUST HAVE SEEMED
very secure in Cnossos for such people,
sunlit and girdled by
the blue sea?

~

EGYPT
of course must have appeared
rather a declining country in those days under the rule
of her 'half-barbaric'
shepherd kings,
and if one took an interest in politics
one must have noticed
how the Semitic peoples seemed to be getting everywhere, ruling Egypt,
ruling distant Babylon,
building Nineveh on the upper Tigris,
sailing west to the Pillars of Hercules {the Straits of Gibraltar} and
setting up colonies on those
distant coasts
...

~

THERE
MUST HAVE BEEN
some active and curious minds in Cnossos,
for later on the Greeks told legends of a certain skilful Cretan artificer,
Daedalus, who attempted to make some sort of flying machine,
perhaps a glider, which collapsed and fell into
the sea
...





~

IT IS
interesting
to note some of the myDi-differences as well as the myDi-resemblances
between the life of Cnossos
and our own?

~

To a Cretan gentleman
of 2500 B.C.
iron was a rare metal which fell out of the sky
and was curious rather than useful -
for as yet only meteoric iron was known {?},
as iron had not yet been obtained
from its ores
...

~

COMPARE THAT
with our 'modern' state of affairs pervaded by iron everywhere!
THE HORSE again would be a quite legendary creature to our Cretan,
a sort of super-ass
which lived in the bleak northern lands far away
beyond the Black
Sea
...

~

CIVILISATION
for him
dwelt chiefly in Aegean Greece
and Asia Minor,
where Lydians and Carians and Trojans lived a life
and probably spoke languages
like his own?

~

There were
Phoenicians and Aegeans
settled in Spain and North Africa,
but those were very remote regions to his
imagination?

~

ITALY
was still a desolate land covered with dense forests;
the brownskinned Etruscans had not yet gone there from
Asia Minor {?}
...

~

And
one day perhaps
our Cretan gentleman went down to the harbour
and saw a captive who attracted his attention because he was
very fair-complexioned and had
blue eyes ...?

~

PERHAPS
our Cretan tried to talk to him
and was answered in an unitteligible
gibberish ...... {which sounded already a bit like myDi-ish?} ...
THIS creature came from somewhere beyond the Black Sea and seemed to be an altogether benighted
savage?

~

BUT indeed
he was an Aryan tribesman,
of a race and culture of which we shall soon {?}
much have to tell,
and the strange gibberish he spoke
was to differentiate
some day into
Sanskrit, Persian, Greek, Latin, German,
English, Dutch and most of the
chief languages of
'our' world!

~

SUCH
was Cnossos at its zenith:
intelligent, enterprising, bright
and happy
...

But
about 1300 B.C. disaster came
probably very suddenly upon
its prosperity!

~

The palace
of Minos was destroyed,
and its ruins have never been rebuilt or inhabited from that day to this!
We do not really know how this disaster occurred:
the excavators note
what appears to be scattered plunder and
the marks of the fire
...
BUT
the traces
of a very destructive earthquake and what we now would call
'tsunami's', have also been found
.............
NATURE ALONE
MAY HAVE DESTROYED
Cnossos,
or the Greeks may have finished
what the earthquakes
{and vulcanic explosions & eruptions (see: Exodus!)
at Thera/Santorini!?!}
began
............?
[[{!}]]
Let's take
a break for breakfast,
aha-capsule & anti-biotics and
the morning newspaper
with our
daily dose
of worldwide disasters,
big & small,
fun, pleasure &
'good news',
endless
Ba'al/Moloch~
advertisements and
'the programs' on
radio &
tv?
