"This topic is so heavy." Heroine Jeanna smiled awkwardly.
"Although it is heavy, it is related to us." Tuohuan reminded them: "How we evaluate the ancients now will be the same way others evaluate us in the future."
"That's why I just said that instead of caring about blood, it's better to think about how to do better. Our people are not like those in Western Europe. If they are unhappy, they will really kill people."
Theodora also knew what he said. However, she had been paying attention to Guo Kang's answer before and didn't seem to think about it. On the other hand, the heroine Jean Na was quite surprised.
"This is the first time I've seen a big noble think like this." She commented: "It's really strange..."
"My level is not good. If you ask him, I also learned from him." Tuohuan immediately pointed at Guo Kang and said: "We Guo Banxian knew it for five hundred years before and five hundred years later. He knows these things very well. .”
"I'm not a half-immortal either." Guo Kang corrected: "I just know a little more about history than you do."
"The history of Europeans is too short. If you read the history of Rome, you will find that this civilization is actually very... immature. We say that force is the basis of everything, but force alone cannot last long."
"The problem with ancient Rome was that it lacked enough time to accumulate civilization."
"Master Wang, do you still remember the last time the Roman Catholic envoys came and we refuted their accusations about Genesis? Did you give us an example?" He turned around and asked.
"Of course I remember." Lama Wang nodded and relayed to others: "At that time, the bishop said that we had changed everything in the Book of Genesis, which was outrageous. We told him that this was because even the Book of Genesis had been changed by the ignorance of later generations. The misinformation and random adaptation by readers no longer reflect God’s original intention.”
"The most straightforward reason we gave is the issue of age."
"It is possible to calculate the creation time based on the biblical scriptures. Orthodox and Catholic scholars have done a lot of research. In Greece and Russia, the creation era is also popular, that is, based on the calculated creation time. The time is regarded as the first year, and the subsequent ones are arranged in order.”
"Theoretically, meaningful time does not exist in the world until after the creation of the world, so this is the most appropriate starting point."
"But the problem is that according to the calculations of the Greeks, the creation of the world was about 5,500 years before Brother Tian was born. And according to the calculations of the Catholic Church, it should be even later, only 4,000 years. This time is not a problem in Europe, but if you compare it with Seris chronology, this era is too late.”
"They appeared before the creation of the world, right?" Heroine Jeanne seemed not surprised.
"Yes. If we compare early records, the chronology of Seris can be traced back to 10,000 years ago, or even longer." Wang Da Lama said: "It cannot be said that the Seris people were already under the rule of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Thousands of years passed before Heavenly Father came to create the world."
"Is this part of mythology?" Heroine Jeanna asked.
"I heard from businessmen who were doing business that Indian myths are much more exaggerated than these. But these differences are just a matter of belief in the Heavenly Father, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, or the Indian gods." She tried to deduce.
"If you believe in Heavenly Father, you cannot directly admit pagan myths. Using the myth of Seris to refute church theory is just a dispute between two religions. They just don't admit it."
"But it's not as simple as a myth." Tuohuan shook his head and told her: "In Seris, the role of history is much more important than in Europe. It is not only a piece of knowledge, but also plays a part in our religion."
"For example, the Seris people distinguish between internal and external. What they look at is not religious similarities and differences, but ancestors and history. This is why everyone is trying to attribute their ancestors to the Yellow Emperor. Because this is one of their 'religious identities'."
"I specifically asked the masters who came from the Ming Dynasty. Over there, every dynasty likes to worship the Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor, Yao, Shun, etc., which is actually similar to worshiping the Heavenly Father here. How should I put it...probably you go Only after you go through this process will everyone recognize you as a church member, and your political power will be considered a formal local political power."
"So, it's not that their history is a myth, but that history itself assumes the function of a myth." He made a special distinction: "Even if ancient history has a mythical color, it is different from completely fictional religious stories. . Because they are histories that have been gradually promoted into myths, rather than being made up out of thin air.”
"The most direct evidence is that the Seris people can really dig out ancient things from the ground. Brother Kang told me that he knows where the ruins of these ancient cities that are more than five thousand years old are." Tuohuan was very excited: " You see, these can support my statement."
"Actually, not only Siris, but also Egypt's civilization is longer than this. Even the ancient Greeks may be older than this." Guo Kang reminded: "That's why we say that the previous scriptures are full of errors. Because it’s not just Seris that can’t match it, it’s the same in other places.”
"The main reason is that this kind of error is too obvious. That's why we think that these scripture chapters cannot be used as a whole." Guo Kang spread his hands: "Otherwise, the story will become strange, right?"
In the early years, people also believed that Seris was a relatively late bloomer among the oldest native civilizations. But with the increase in archaeological discoveries, by Guo Kang's time, it was no longer easy to judge who was older. This was also the reason why he said these things.
"What's this weird method?" Heroine Jeanne seemed to be quite interested in this kind of story.
"Think about it, if the time doesn't match up, Heavenly Father will come halfway." Guo Kang reminded her: "In that case, Heavenly Father would not have created the world, but should only be a part of the world. Transform it according to your own wishes - and this transformation probably has nothing to do with Siris, because it is the territory of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and cannot be controlled."
"But after the transformation, the results were not ideal, and accidents happened again and again. If you don't believe it, look at the examples of evil spirits causing trouble and harming people recorded in the scriptures. They all happened one after another after the transformation."
"So, if we follow this logic, we can infer that Heavenly Father may be an ancient alien god, but there was a problem with his transformation plan, which caused the evil spirits to follow. After that, Heavenly Father could not solve it and could only Simply run away and leave this mess to Brother Tian and the mortals in the world."
"Look, even if you don't directly delete the problematic parts like our church, but instead acknowledge these settings and make up for them, it's okay. Now isn't this complete?" He thought for a while and looked. He sounded quite proud: "This may be more interesting than our current teachings. I think it is quite suitable to be used as a worldview setting to write a collection of stories."
"If you are afraid of being traced by the church, change the name. For example, the Heavenly Father is called the Super Ancient Holy God, and the Yellow Emperor is called the Dragon Emperor..." Guo Kang suggested: "Anyway, just throw away those stories. It seems to be too wasteful, but you can continue. Let’s write it down.”
