more notes

 

Tantulus the half-God, and other stuff I don't want to go into, is a train of thought.
For pissing off the Gods he was punished by being Tantalized, forever.

In "Tartarus", the deep dark hot place of the Earth.

I need a picture of "Tantalizing," here.
Food that gives hellish punishment (AKA "Burrito") vs Butt (for looking at briefly, and only in books or magazines)


"Tantalizing" butt gave lots fewer results.
Tantalizing is in the eye of the beholder.
 It (the butt) is supposed to imply health and fitness, not lust, (my vocabulary lacks) ...
A stock photo of a beautiful older woman
entices people to click on the ad, whatever it is.
No Tantalizing food





Wikipedia goes on (and on,) and the concrete example (for me) isn't there.
So I made one up: A maid? 
The incredibly rich might have expensive (tantalizing) appliances that get used by servants.
Those servants might be tantalizing to 
(wait, this started out being about "Tartarus.")
OK, Tartarus is the Place. Hot dark, volcanic (steamy.)
Tantalus is the name of someone.
(right?)


It's prolly coincidental (maybe) that preachers wanting to get good jobs, study Greek. 
Surely the subject of Tartarus comes up in their studies.
Formless-void, uh, "Hell," all that. 
I would not presume to even consider that creationism comes mostly from Greek Mythology. But vague thoughts can be had aplenty on Quora (10 second research-result.)
Also Reddit

I can't remember right this second the story Captain Picard had to learn to understand a guy who only spoke in stories.
The biggie plot seemed to say that we (us) incorporate stories into our daily lives.
Anyway, TLDR'ing,
Noah=Gilgamesh=Darmok=Enkidu, with poetic license on my part (so, not literally)

Gilgamesh+Enkidu at Uruk is super-old and they have written records.
Cool.
(Reddit)



"Whatever you believe or can conceive of,
someone else believed it first, wrote tons about it, has more professional sites backing them, tons of money" comes into play here.
If I think a thought, I can find tons of references.

So nevermind.
(Link)
They are aware, they just say it's way different.
Yeah, OK. whatever.

I totally glossed.
Chicken/egg
Some guy says, 1400BC, then they changed the crap out of it, until 400BC
(I'm parroting)
But is "some guy" correct?





When was the bulk of Greek Mythology written? https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/mythic-creatures/air/greek-myths#:~:text=The%20Greek%20stories%20of%20gods,Greek%20poets%20Homer%20and%20Hesiod. Wait, so now they want to push that Genesis was written way before Greeks thought it up.
Interesting.

If the oldest book in the Bible is 750BC, How in Hades does Genesis pre-date it?

250BC vs 1400BC

It behooves biblical scholars pushing the literal scripture to the max, that the date of 1400BC be bombasted, but in fact it was modified for reasons unknown to me until 250BC.
Imagine all that political correctness lovingly folded in.
Forget WHY it was modified, I can totally guess.
But what was the original like before the Sanhedrin and King James got a hold of it??
Dyed-in-wool conservatives have abandoned Wikipedia long-long ago, so this excerpt is prolly heretical and not to be believed.
OTOH it explains tons.
The number "3" in the above picture refers to A really rambling-type guy who says that Genesis was composed by at least two people, one of them being priest-like.
https://books.google.com/books?id=FQjTDgAAQBAJ&pg=PA12#v=onepage&q&f=false
The detail you have to pore over to see, is, 500BC (I think)
I don't think bringing "Star Wars," the 70's movie, into this would help, would it?
A Superstar of a storyteller tells a story (let's say,) and forever afterwards, stories are written and rewritten on the theme of Star Wars.
Well, I tried.



Paraclete

 
A discussion could be started about "State Religion" and how they begin.

Books and poems become Law.
But You'd need a much better blogger.

Anyway in that discussion (a small part) would be the historical "Divine Right of Kings," The official Church of a country,
And the Supreme Court


Which myths and stories get pushed today (right now?)

 I seriously need to modify my definition of "Top Stories"
Cat-Ladies vs Vance





I think they meant that some meat is undercooked, at least according to another article on the same subject.
Not that athletes crave more raw meat. But you be the judge.

Apparently I erased a question about texts being sent that claim to have a package for me.
A much better article exists now, https://www.wired.com/story/usps-scam-text-smishing-triad/, not that you asked. But it's a front page article, somewhere.
