Again, we [music] go into like any specific people, let's say, or [music] who these people we're talking about. I've heard about some I heard about Scythian connection.
I heard about um this Asia Minor connection also at some other point or at the same time, I don't know. So, if you can elaborate in who these people are we Who is these people we're talking about that we're getting this tech or these first um ideas that after becomes the mystery and the the whole culture that we're talking about after in the Aegean um We as as civilized Greek-speaking peoples of the Mediterranean, we are getting our mystery right from a Scythian culture
That lives in a world of constant change.
They are mobile horse tribes that are known for their incredibly strict enforcement of certain social norms. Certain customs, for example, get out of here. We don't want you around. So, if we catch you here, we're going to kill you. And we may breed with you or eat you. But um this is a this is the culture that produces the 12 bodyguards of the first Christ. So, when Medea comes out Christing and spreading, so to speak, her ministry of Christing, she's spreading it around villages. She is creating Bacchic
Choruses by drugging people. When she begins to do this, she doesn't go by herself. She has a bodyguard of 12 Scythian women. And those 12 Scythian women are known for their martial skill as well as their knowledge of drugs. So, all of that All of that Again, notice how we're back to the drugs, right? Because that's the anchor. That's the real. That's what's really going on. Their their use of these drugs. Um And so, but this Scythian culture is a horse culture. It's mobile. And everything
That the Greek-speaking world is writing about these barbarians, because to the Greek-speaking world, they are barbarians. They don't speak Greek. That qualifies you as a barbarian. So, these barbarians who have this advanced knowledge of the drugs, whose
Leaders are these terribly despotic women who are performing acts of cruelty that ripple across the Mediterranean to keep everybody in control. And that's that scares the Greek-speaking world. But this is the origin This type of world where your queen is surrounded by her greatest intelligences um is coming from an advanced culture that is encountering a another advanced culture in the Greek-speaking world that at the time is raising an umbrella the the Mycenaean Greek world is raising an umbrella over the Eastern Mediterranean so that civilizations can be planted.
And they're only doing this because their oracles are going through these ceremonies where they are receiving instructions from the invisible beings that are around you that you can't see until you're initiated.
So, the these tribes of Amazoneans who are raiding and hostiling the Greek world, they they're ultimately going to form the policing power of Athens. But for now in the Bronze Age, they're just delivering to us a form of religion that is some kind of cult. And when I say cult, I mean cultus in Latin is the the way that you grow your fields. It's the way that you use nature to produce the cult
That performs the mystery initiation is using nature that is being absorbed through a non-Greek-speaking world. And that is marking the Greek response. It is creating It's like fertilizer for Mother Greek herself to grow. So, yeah, it's gorgeous, absolutely.
