Quote from: ZEGH8578 on November 19, 2015, 05:01:15 PMHey, check out Sumerian god-kings. There's another example of time in religion. These kings not only lived very long - according to their scriptures - but kept rule for years and years - and centuries - and millenniaDumuzid, "The shepherd" ruled for over 30 000 yearsGood health!I've tried to find out how this even works out, like, how did they figure it?These are human years, they realize this, so they confirm that "yes, Dumuzid ruled for a thousand lifetimes"It is also interesting that these super-long rulers seem to have (if ever) existed around 3000-2900 BC, within a centuryWith the lack of loud suggestions, I've imagined that it could be as simple as political gimmick of the days. Maybe nobody really believed that ol Dumuzid had kept the throne for 36 000 years, but that it was a time "granted" to him, like a title or somethingThis super-long rule tradition gradually cools off, that is also interesting, so there's a mechanic there that we're missing. Rulers go from 10 000 years, to 1000, to 100 (which is still long time to keep rule), to much more likely durations of a few years at the time, some as few as just one.So it is really a choice between whether the Sumerian COULD extend their life 30 000 years....or if they can't. If you say they could, I think I would like some compelling evidence. Or they couldn't, in which case it was likely "slight"exaggeration, mistranslation, father inheriting name and title after dead and repeating cycle over many lifetimes, abstract meaning lost context, or some flat out lie or propaganda. Let's go with the least likely option.Yeah, for sure. Those Sumerians lived 30 000 years. They sparkled in sunlight.

Hey butterflies I was giving you a hard time I didn't see the day, didn't look. I'll mention how Zegh never owned up to Al's twilight reference and still won't but I saw it.

Everything is about "owning up"For example, yesterday I ate salmon. You, Butterflies, now have to own up to that.
Now we have really descended into the I2! Have fun, children!
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

I do! I own up to it!I apologize for your constipation :'/
