The Christian Cult Accused Of Wiping Out Egyptian Hieroglyphics"

in fin fett greenpeaceRdale1844coop • a day ago All you had to do was ask nicely if you wanted to know more. I'll answer in brief anyway. The Christian eradication of paganism in Egypt was so thorough that no one even knew how to speak the language or read the hieroglyphs until the discover of the Rosetta Stone over a thousand years after its culmination. 1 • Reply • Share › − Avatar greenpeaceRdale1844coop in fin fett • a day ago Yeah, if there had been a shred of prudence, instead of anti-Christian gangbusting, I wouldn´t have framed the crassness of the context as I did, thanks. Your follow up is just as ill-considered, however. Your reasoning is a non-sequitor, with you asserting an event, the " Christian eradication of paganism in Egypt" justified by an event from the distant future which establishes no definite causal link, except your apparent ideology. Since I´m interested in these things, let´s see what I can turn up. It seems that your own "hieroglypho-centrism" and anti-Christian bias have deceived you in a form of reductionism. Alexander the Great´s conquest of Egypt led to a situation in which Cleopatra (VII Philopator)´s first language was Greek. The Roman period that began around 30 BC after Cleopatra´s and Marc Antony´s armies were defeated in Octavian Augustus´ consolidation of power after the assassination of Julius Caesar. The hieroglyphs themselves were largely a priestly script, and according to JP Allen, became somewhat suspicious to foreign rulers. Greco-Roman writers associated the writing with an "allegorical, magical system transmitting secret, mystical knowledge." Thus, Allen describes how by the 4th century, few Egyptians could read hieroglyphs, a "myth of allegorical hieroglyphs" prevailed. Theodosius I in 391 made his edict against paganism, and the last known hieroglyphs are from 394. As for interpreting such events, Roman Imperial Christianity was a phenomena reflecting Christians having developed Christianity valuing its caring values until Constantine´s victory. Constantine´s support created a new level of operation for Christianity, with Emperor´s showing many signs of standard Roman Imperial violent opportunism. Beginning around 300 AD, Anthony of the Desert had been a Christian ascetic and achieved the theosis that made him Father of the Christian monks. Imperial opportunism would be the most plausible cause of the Fall of the West by 476 as tribes invaded, and converted to Christianity as they invaded. By 641, Islam had conquered Egypt. By 1150, Christians had developed the first modern Universities when Thomas of Aquinas appeared to Christianize Aristotle, and make a crucial transition based on Christian relationship to God the Creator through Jesus Christ´s legacy of loving integrity. In all of the pragmatic consequences of Empires and the rise of Christianity into the unprecedented complexity of Western Civilization, you had better learn to appreciate the real world tendencies that have made Christianity unusually capable to have resurgent integrity, establish modern Universities, etc, including reclaiming hieroglyphs, to your great pleasure.
