Yes, yes, yes, we all know about the Bible and what it has to say about the last 2,000 years. If you want to get a idea of life before that, you have to read the texts that survive.
So, to get a better picture of what really happened one must read, observe, all known materials, before coming to a conclusion.
And that is why we should stop assuming "Myth" is fiction, and consider it as a possible actual account.
What does getting an idea of life before that accomplish?
If you had read and understood the point in my posts prior to that one, you would have seen that I was talking about firsthand experience vs old stories and why firsthand wins everytime.
No, even if it's based on an actual account I'm not trusting it because poetic license has always been in effect.

What does it accomplish? I suppose it has something to do with not making the same mistakes over and over and over.
You know someone from that time who is willing to share, by all means, allow them the opportunity to share
Yes, there were liars and dis info agents back then. And, you are miles ahead of the pack when you finally add that into the equation.
It isn't.
Your own firsthand experiences will trump old stories. This shouldn't be this difficult to follow.
I don't believe everything from the past. it must pass through a few filters before I consider it worthy of consideration. I do not dispel mythical retelling's just because they are labeled mythical. Anyone reading the Bible and to believe it word for word, have some personal issues to resolve. Though, some of the stories are actually based in real events. Places named in the Bible that were thought to be mythical actually were found. The ancient Greek stories will be found to be no different. Just a bit further out of a realistic context. The Bible is only 2000 years old and look what happened to it. Can you imagine what 10,000 years would do to a story? A lady with a bad hair day turns into Medusa???
Adding that to the equation means being skeptic of information, that is the complete opposite of what you said a couple posts ago.

Though admittedly, 10,000 years, if done by one person, would take a few lifetimes to accomplish. We are not afforded this type of time period. But, through the help of friends on the internet, who knows......

Thanks for taking the time to type all of that information but my question is, what good does knowing all of that do?
How does it help you?

as long as people know and fight them, they cannot succeed, till the return of our gods/people. The way world is, with all these attrocities on earth and tools of corruption. There is no much can do to set the planet free. The only thing we can do, is delay them.
and we did really great job up to date.

I think their goals and motives are typed in prev pages, go read them. Also the stories here tells you, whats goin on today, its not the first time...
And here is something for consideration for all, you all know the 12 gods of Olympus right? And you all know what happened in 2001 with Mythodea, everybody in foreign countries says "they invoked their gods"
I've read what is posted and it doesn't sound reliable. The stories don't tell me what is going on today. I think that is something you want to see, so you see it.
