What Did The Romans Really Do For Us
and more about the ancient world. |
| |
In the dark ages the light of wisdom was almost extinguished in Europe and North Africa by the religious fanaticism of Christians. Read how the scientific knowledge accumulated by ancient civilisations in India, the Middle East and around the Mediterranean Sea was kept alive in the Islamic world and retransmiited to Europe through the independence of Christian monastic orders.
Its amazing how many people can talk of a sense of deep calm, of oneness when looking at the ocean. Maybe it is the vastness, perhaps that water is so essential to all life and such a large part of us. Or again, maybe deep in the subconscious there dwells a realisation that the sea is the cradle of all life. But is the ocean instilling that sense of spiritual oneness or does it merely reflect our being?
Cavewomen and Contraception: first in a four part series on the way removing women's right to control their bodies was a powerful tool in subjugating the gender. This opener deals with the earliest beginnings among the mother worshipping tribes and clans of the neolithic age.
Bronze Age Birth Control: Part 2 of the four - parter moves on to the Bronze Age when great advances were made in technology and healing resulting in huge improvements in the quality of human life. As the seeds of civilisation were sown so began the dominance of the Patriarchal God and the male hierarchies that served him.
Witchcraft, The Burning Issue: moving forward to the Christian era and the determination to stamp out anything the Church could not control. This led to the persecuaion of women who practiced herbalism and had the skills to use parts of plants and shrubs to prevent or terminate pregnancy.
A Short history of Contraception and Abortion: Part 4.
Medieval to Modern: The concluding part deals with the explosion of the birth rate after the Induistrial Revolution, the corresponding high infant mortality rate and the appalling incidence of deaths in childbirth. We relate the story of the brave women who stood up to church and state to win back womens' rights to control their bodies.

Killing History.
The government constantly whines that not enough pulips in their later school years take up sciences. The government itself however is pushing history off the curriculum. So as they strip the nation's young people of a sense who they are and destroy the national culture inthe name of diversity and multiculturalism can they complain if those young people feel alienated and do not wish to contribute positively to the national community.
