To continue….

Rome was not, however, the first empire, even of its kind. Within the blurred mix of legend and archeology is the story of Gilgamesh, the first King over the first kingdom. Born as part God, part man, his legend is one of him coming to terms with the fact that though he is a King and far above all men - he is mortal. So profound is his transformation over the course of his quest to find immortality that he not only has success stolen from him at the last moment, but he returns to succeed yet again - simply to have the flower that will give him immortality added to his treasury, not to use it to become immortal.

I actually believe this legend contradicts the behavior of most later kings - who seek to become less human rather than to become profoundly human.

Regardless, Gilgamesh is credited with being the first king of Uruk - which is believed to be the precursor to what would become the kingdom of Babylon.

Almost all gods and goddesses of the region can be tied to parallels in Babylon. From the greek gods, to the Egyptian gods, and even the names and domains of angels can be tied to parallels with many of the Babylonian gods and goddesses. Some may argue that even the Hindu and Germanic gods have striking parallels.

Many anons on this board have also argued that the kings of Egypt, senate of Rome, Pharisees of Judea, etc all have similar ancestry, or at least try to claim it. It would not be completely unreasonable for those who wanted to become kings like Gilgamesh to try and argue their case that they are somehow descended from that legacy…. Ironically missing the lesson in said legacy, but why learn lessons when power is to be won?

Well … That didn't work like I wanted it to… Vid

I want you to pay attention to this animation. The translated lyrics are a bit complicated and the original lyrics are… Not how a native Japanese would choose to structure them.

In the legends of gods, there is often a fruit which plays a particularly important role. Persephone, for example, in Greek mythology, eats a seed of the pomegranate from the underworld and as such must return there. The goddess, Hera, is associated with the Pomegranate - the Fruit of Knowledge…. As is the Mother Mary in many churches throughout the region.

For reasons that are varied and debated, the Fruit of Knowledge in much of American culture and the Germanic culture is the Apple.

The Fruit of Knowledge is, as per a number of lores, why humanity suffers or experiences mortality. Hence, knowledge is the "Bad Apple."

Interestingly, this is the stage theme for the fight with the character "elly" in Lotus Land Story.

Elly carries a scythe and guards the mansion which is the boundary between reality and fantasy. She is, and this is important, immortal for a brief period in time.

Why is this relevant?

Within the Eden story, there were two brothers… One of whom, Cain, is the farmer. He is also believed to have killed his brother and been the first to do so among humanity. As a consequence of this, Cain was cursed so that no man could harm him. Depending on who you ask, Cain is a "bad apple."

Though one could argue that it was after his brother chose to sacrifice animals from his flock (… Also, keep in mind that this was at a time when hunanoids from outside your tribe were often considered to be animals) that Cain acted upon his knowledge of good and evil to choose to eliminate evil, rather than to perpetrate evil.

For some reason, as Cain goes to wander the Land of Nod, there are suddenly people for him to take as wives and raise a family with. I use this as a case to argue that Cain considered them people, while Abel and even Adam/Eve did not see them as people/equals. But this is so far back into scriptural history and accounts that anyone claiming to know for certain should not be taken without serious skepticism.

Leading into my next… Pay attention to where the witch in the opening sequence goes…., And what springs from the eaten apple she drops.

Related to prior.

What is in a name?

The name "Alice" is derived from the German Adelheidis - which is "of noble/royal birth"

Plug that understanding in literally everywhere you see Alice invoked.

Remember that it was the Pope of the Roman church who effectively certified the nobility of much of europe and gave them the claim that their blood line was guided by the divine.

Which leads me to another point….

By what way could nobility be "given" divine rite?

Behind the gate kept by Elly is Yuuka, asleep in a mansion.

Trace the blood lines in Europe.

There is a lot of the female line which extends back to present day Montenegro, no?

WestWood Studios made a game.

Command&Conquer. In it, a man by the name of Kane, allegedly the same Cain from the Bible, is leading a revolution involving Tiberium, named after the Roman king Tiberius (in his description of events, anyway). It's also implied in the C&C Universe that the Brotherhood of Nod controls the Soviet Union from the shadows.

In any event… Temple Prime for Nod is located in Sarajevo. It is considered by Kane to be the holy of holy places, if he can be said to consider any place holy.

Which leads me back to my point about how to grant a blood line divinity. You give them a woman from divine ancestry. Play your part, you get to have children with a daughter of the gods.

There was someone I met, once, from rather spoopy places, who was rather insistent upon the idea that Cain may have been female.

What, then, does the maternal line of Melania and her cousins know?
