Do you know what et al means or are you too busy pretending to eat dead torture victims? I was referring to the practice of artefact destruction cabals aka synods in general. For example, the synod of 397:quote:It was also determined that besides the Canonical Scriptures nothing be read in the Church under the title of divine Scriptures. The Canonical Scriptures are these: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua the son of Nun, Judges, Ruth, four books of Kings, two books of Paraleipomena, Job, the Psalter, five books of Solomon, the books of the twelve prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezechiel, Daniel, Tobit, Judith, Esther, two books of Esdras, two books of the Maccabees. Of the New Testament: four books of the Gospels, one book of the Acts of the Apostles, thirteen Epistles of the Apostle Paul, one epistle of the same [writer] to the Hebrews, two Epistles of the Apostle Peter, three of John, one of James, one of Jude, one book of the Apocalypse of John. Let this be made known also to our brother and fellow-priest Boniface, or to other bishops of those parts, for the purpose of confirming that Canon. Because we have received from our fathers that those books must be read in the Church. Let it also be allowed that the Passions of Martyrs be read when their festivals are kept. the practice of revisionism to the destruction of historical accuracy continues to this day with Isis, Egypt, those hosed up Americans who buy and destroy fossils and you, congrats

For example, the synod of 397: I don't know man, if you use 'et al' the main item should probably be an example of the thing you're talking about. e: read that, and it doesn't say anything about destroying any books.

Rutibex posted:funny thing is, unless your some kind of scholar or a catholic priest you wouldn't be able to talk to anyone. but unlike most people you would be able to read out written text, just not understand it Catholic priests use a different kind of Latin and could not communicate with the ancient Latins. So just academics would be able to speak with the Latins. That is, if you were sent to Rome. Could be sent to China or India or Mesoamerica and then you would be 'boned'

I just wish more people in this thread would use my 'approximate geographical area' rule. How would you help North Americans or Australians with little to no prior knowledge of metalworking? Euro posters can keep talking about Rome, tho.

I'd be That Slightly Chubby Barbarian With Really Nice Teeth and gently caress a bunch of women, and then when i'm nearly dead from syphilis I'd go to the mathematicians and show them arabic numerals and base 10 notation. I'd do this when I'm already dying so it doesn't really matter if they murder me for heresy by introducing the concept of 0.

I feel like I could super vaguely explain a bunch of stuff enough to leave dozens of books of stuff I kinda remember from grade school or wikipedia but it'd all come off as creepy nostradamus stuff because all I'd do is sorta vaguely draw a picture of a car with like the 5 parts I can actually name and explain in sorta vague detail and then they would basically have to invent a car on their own and discovery channel would be like "spooky how close all this was to that weird book that weird guy wrote, seems like that guy that vaguely invented germ theory and the heliocentric model of the solar system was pretty smart"
