Unknown Gods

[Edge Guerrero]

The Otherworld's a big, big place. And while there are many gods and goddesses in nearly every culture past and present, do you think there are gods that nobody has ever heard of before? I do. And how can we find them? I've already found a few.

Discuss.

- There are civilizations that disapeared, and with them several parts of the story too.
I can't imagine how manny little vilages that are gonne and a rich story died with then.

That's the depressing truth: NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT of all Human history is lost.

FRIZLAND!!

What happened to FRIZLAND!

In the vid in this thread: post7326.html?hilit=Maps#p7326

...the dude explains that on SEVERAL old artic maps there was a clear island labelled as 'Frizland', with ports and towns on it. In all the maps the shape of the island and the location of the towns was the same, these are real old maps made by cartographers and explorers etc.

Yet after a certain date, Frizland no longer appears on any maps.

Do you think it is truly lost? Or perhaps kept hidden? Or perhaps just misplaced (as in there is a record somewhere)?

Do you have hope that one day it will/can be revealed or set straight?

Could a situation exist where the truth of history might truly be lost and un-recoverable/forgotten forever?
The thought of this is both sad and refreshing

I always like the idea that somewhere the truth is encapsulated, whether under the sands of the desert or in a Rothschild vault, lol - and that one day it will come back to light. But who knows, maybe the way of things really is to forget and start anew (life-death-rebirth)

[Canuckster]

Damn you masato, I have work to do and you go throwing that out there.



Fuck.

Me too, but keep in mind that writing's been around for maybe 6,000 years while Humans have been around for 200,000.

What do you think happened in that dark time that burned the idea of gods, spirits and the afterlife permanently into Mankind's psyche?

And where exactly does our fear of creatures with pale skin, long faces, sharp teeth and dark, sunken eyes come from?

- Good question! Vampires and Werewolves have been a human fear since the dawn of humanity. say
I thin that Vampires were based on the Sorcerers of the past, that smartly propaged the stories of then have sobrenatural powers, and their cruelty made the stories of Vampires believable.

Quan Chi from Mortal Kombat has that look, what i think it's coll in MK that they use several cutures aroud the worl to create their characters.

On Werewolves, i would like to know what were the first registers of then, i know they are a very old mithy, but were started?

Amazing thread btw.

Perhaps.

Perhaps the Werewolf legends originate from old pagan lore and legends or a subconscious visualization of our darker sides. The Kitsune have lectured me about the difficult relationship between our inherently predatory natures and our desire for compassion. I asked them about it after watching Natural Born Killers.

Are you baiting me you bastard? You know the origin story of my people eh? My face is predatory to yours. That does not make my constitution evil, if you disagree I kill you.
