Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 165

"This topic is so heavy." Rangna smiled awkwardly.

"Although it is heavy, it is related to us." Tuo Huan reminded them: "How we evaluate the ancients now, they will judge us in the same way in the future."

"That's why I just said that instead of caring about bloodlines, we should think about how we can do better. Our people are not those in Western Europe. If they are unhappy, they will really die."

Theodora also knew what he said.But she had been concerned about Guo Kang's answer before, and she didn't seem to think about it.On the other hand, Joanna, the heroine, was a little surprised.

"It's the first time I've seen a nobleman think this way." She commented: "It's really strange..."

"I'm not good enough. If you ask him, I also learned from him." Tuo Huan immediately pointed to Guo Kang, and said, "Our Guo Banxian knows 500 years before and 500 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."

"The history of Europeans is too short. If you look at the history of Rome, you will find that this civilization is actually very...immature. We say that force is the foundation of everything, but only force cannot last long."

"The problem with ancient Rome is that it lacked enough time to accumulate civilization."

"Master Wang, do you still remember the last time the envoys of the Roman Catholic Church came and we refuted their accusations about Genesis, did you give an example?" He turned his head and asked.

"Of course I remember." Da Lama Wang nodded and relayed to others: "At that time, the bishop said that we changed the Genesis, which was too outrageous. We told him that it was because even the Genesis had passed through the ignorance of future generations. The misrepresentation and random adaptation of the author can no longer reflect the original intention of God."

"One of the most straightforward reasons we gave was the age issue."

"According to the scriptures handed down from generation to generation, it is possible to calculate the time of creation. Scholars of the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church have done a lot of research. In Greece and the Rus region, the Genesis Yuan was also popular, that is, the time of the creation of the world was calculated. The time is regarded as the first year, and then arranged in order."

"Theoretically, only meaningful time exists in the world after the creation of the world, so it is most appropriate to start with this."

"But the problem is, according to the calculations of the Greeks, the creation of the world was about 5500 years before the birth of Brother Tian. According to the calculations of the Catholic Church, it should be even later, only 4000 years. This time, there is no problem in Europe, but if you compare it with Seris The chronology, this age is too late."

"They appeared before the creation of the world, didn't they?" Jeanne seemed to be no stranger to it.

"Yes. If you compare the early records, the chronology of Seris can be traced back to 1 years ago, or even longer." The Great Lama Wang said: "It cannot be said that the Seris people have been ruled by the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. It must have been thousands of years before the Heavenly Father came to create the world."

"Is this part the content of the myth?" Jeanne asked.

"I've heard businessmen who come and go say that Indian myths are much more exaggerated than these. But these differences are just a matter of believing in the Heavenly Father, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, or the Indian gods." She tried hard to deduce.

"If you believe in the Heavenly Father, you cannot directly admit pagan myths. Using the Seris myth to refute the church's theory is just a dispute between two religions, and they just don't admit it."

"But it's not as simple as a myth." Tuo Huan shook his head and told her: "In Seris, history plays a much more important role than in Europe. It is not only a knowledge, but also plays a part of our religion."

"For example, the people of Seris distinguish between the inside and the outside. They don't look at the similarities and differences of religions, but their ancestors and history. This is why everyone is trying to rub their ancestors on the Yellow Emperor. Because this is one of their 'religious identity'."

"I specifically asked the masters from the Ming Dynasty. On their side, all dynasties like to worship the Yellow Emperor, Yandi, Yao, Shun, etc., which is actually similar to worshiping the Heavenly Father on our side. How should I put it... probably you go After this process, everyone will recognize you as a church member, and your regime will be considered a formal local regime."

"So, it's not that their history is a myth, but that the history itself has assumed the function of a myth." He made a distinction: "Even if the ancient history has a mythical color, it is different from a completely empty religious story. .Because they are history gradually promoted into myth, not made up out of thin air."

"The most direct evidence is that the people of Seris can really dig out ancient things from the ground. Brother Kang told me that he knows where the ruins of these ancient cities are over 5000 years old." Tuo Huan was very excited: "You See, these all support my statement."

"In fact, it's not just Seris, Egypt's civilization is also longer than this. Even the ancient Greeks may be older than this." Guo Kang reminded: "That's why we said that the previous scriptures are full of errors. Because it’s not just Celis who can’t match up, but also other places.”

"The main reason is that this kind of error is too obvious. That's why we think that these scriptures and passages as a whole cannot be used anymore." Guo Kang spread his hands: "Otherwise, the story will become strange, right?"

In the early years, people also believed that among the oldest native civilizations, Seris was a relatively late bloomer.But with the increase of archaeological discoveries, by the time of Guo Kang, it was no longer easy to judge who was the oldest. This is also the reason why he said these words.

"What kind of strange method?" Jeanna seemed to be very interested in this kind of story.

"Think about it, if the time is not right, Heavenly Father will come halfway." Guo Kang reminded her: "In that case, Heavenly Father could not have created this 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 Serris, because it is the territory of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, so it is out of control."

"But after the transformation, the results were not ideal, and accidents happened again and again. If you don't believe me, you can see that the examples recorded in the scriptures where evil spirits haunted and harmed people happened one after another after the transformation."

"So, according to this logic, we can deduce that the Heavenly Father may be some ancient god from outside, but something went wrong with his transformation plan, causing the demons to follow. After that, the Heavenly Father couldn't solve it, so he had to Just run away and leave this mess to Brother Tian and the mortals in this world."

"You see, even if it's not like our church that directly deletes and amends the problematic parts, but admits these settings and makes up for them, it's still possible. Isn't this complete now?" He thought for a while, and looked He looked quite proud: "This may be more interesting than our current teachings. I think it is quite suitable to be used as a worldview setting and to write a collection of stories."

"If you are afraid of being traced by the church, you can 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, throw away those stories directly, it seems too wasteful, but you can continue Write it down."
