Thanks for another informative dive in history. I'm waiting for the day when we discover what is hidden in the Sphinx, according to Edgar Cayce. He said, while in trance, that the history of our time on Earth would be discovered when humanity is ready for the reveal. We may have a ways to go...

Great find! I didn't know we only had 1 to 5% of Classical works. If even one extra scroll can completely change our understanding of life and the world around us, I can't imagine what having the other 95% would do. It's fun to think about.

It got me thinking that it's funny how so many people these days think we're more intelligent than ever. We can't know that because so much knowledge is already lost to history. For all we know, we're dumber than many of our ancestors. Also fun to think about. And humbling!

Wow! That was an optimistic read. Thanks for your thoughts and the information - I had missed that piece of news.

Today, at 5:04 PT, is the anniversary of our earthquake - the Loma Prieta - in Santa Cruz. I didn't realize we shared that date with a much more significant event. Now, I will never forget that.
