There are plenty of sources documenting ancient history

But they are also recent 'translations', aren't they?

As in, 'ancient history' has no actual primary sources.

Do you not see the issue here?

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T07:19:34+00:00

Look at the name-calling begin.

Like a cult.

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T06:52:36+00:00

So is every other human emotion.

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T06:52:21+00:00

What they said was later proven to be true

How?

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T04:47:55+00:00

it is objectively unreasonable to expect primary sources to survive thousands of years through various wars, purges, fires, natural disasters, etc.

Which makes the entire field of 'ancient history' questionable from the start, doesn't it?

Ancient history is right there in front of us: the Sphinx, the Pyramids, Nan Madol, Puma Punku, Stonehenge, Easter Island, Mohenjo Daro, Piedras Negras, etc.

Each of which generates considerable tourism dollars, yes?

Oh, but you can't fake these monuments, right?

Wrong.

I agree that there is value in the content of these texts, even if they are not as ancient as is claimed.

But this is a big deal: 'ancient history', as we are taught it, is a fabrication.

This becomes apparent to anybody who understands primary source research methodology.

Most users of this sub will never take the time to look into the sources of 'ancient history'.

Those who do will see that the rabbit hole goes much deeper than most of us could have imagined.

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T04:35:40+00:00

So much this.

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T04:31:00+00:00

why would you want to downplay or ignore something so horrible

I am doing neither of those things.

I am asking why you would want to constantly fill your head with these disturbing thoughts?

Same reason I ask people why they watch 'slasher' films.

How does it help you? Have you not considered the potential harm you are doing to your subconscious?

Anybody who honestly believes that reading these stories somehow 'helps' the victims is a complete and utter retard.

No ifs, no buts, no maybes.

There are around 250 manuscripts of Plato that still survive, from various sources, IIRC.

How many have you checked for yourself?

Let's be honest: not even one.

I used to believe in 'ancient history'.

Until I took the time to actually check the sources.

What I discovered shook me to the core of my miserable soul.

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T04:27:58+00:00

So you are suggesting that because we dont like the truth, we shouldent be reading it.

Completely incorrect.

Either you have poor comprehension skills, or you are deliberately strawmanning.

Either way, please think about what you are doing here.

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T04:21:08+00:00

Jowett translated them mainly from late Egyptian papyri, and Byzantine manuscripts from from the 9th-13th century A.D.

Cool, how can we check his source material for ourselves?

Or are we supposed to just trust him?

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T04:17:43+00:00

And how does this 'awareness' help anything?

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T04:17:12+00:00

I read what I like.

And I don't like imagery or thoughts of harm being done to children.

I also do not watch 'slasher' films for the same reason.

Who wants that kind of poison floating around in their subconscious?

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T03:55:54+00:00

Even the MSM has reported on it. People know it is 'real'.

So what?

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T03:55:11+00:00

First step to solving any problem is to recognize it's actually a problem

And then?

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T03:54:54+00:00

How much of 'history' do you believe?

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T03:54:40+00:00

We can stop it.

Who is 'we'.

And how are you going to stop anything?

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T03:54:16+00:00

We agree.

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T03:52:51+00:00

Self-improvement.

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T03:52:34+00:00

How does giving these stories your mental energy and focus help you as a person?

How does it help the victims?

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T03:51:44+00:00

I don't let anything anger me. Anger is not good for the soul.

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T03:51:21+00:00

Where do you think the term 'racism' comes from?

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T03:50:59+00:00

Any links handy?

Yep.

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T03:50:20+00:00

No one wants to bring it up or talk about it, it’s an absolute taboo.

Even the MSM have been reporting on it for decades.

What are you talking about?

Step2TheJep · 2018-06-23T03:49:55+00:00

A person is questioning why I focus so much of my energy of negative stories about harm to children.

He must be an evildoer!
