Riddle Sideways: the 3rd Alexandria class was yesterday and talked more about Cleo
Adams Rubble: oh. I listened to most of the other two
Riddle Sideways: the Cleopatra we know was actually Cleo VII
Adams Rubble: I'm Cleo VII I am, Cleo VII I am I am
Riddle Sideways: giggles
Riddle Sideways: did you get to those recorded zooms?
Adams Rubble: no, just the lecture
Riddle Sideways: that is them
Adams Rubble: oh
Adams Rubble: then yes
Riddle Sideways: ㋡

Riddle Sideways: in the first 200-300 years the city, society, library, museum went downhill it seems
Adams Rubble: change happens
Riddle Sideways: even before the acidental burning it was smaller
Adams Rubble: I do not believe the burning was accidental
Riddle Sideways: trying to have a non-political, non-warring, academic society happens
Adams Rubble: Romans wanted to stamp out Greek logic thinking
Riddle Sideways: well burning the ships in the harbor was suppose to happen
Riddle Sideways: But, who knew the docks they were tied to would burn also
Adams Rubble: The Romans
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Adams Rubble: Donaldus Rumsfelius
Riddle Sideways: there is always one of those around

Riddle Sideways: the daylight is starting much later, lately
Adams Rubble nods
Adams Rubble: and nightime coming earlier
Riddle Sideways: hard to get up with the sun
Riddle Sideways: plus the waken cat is all confused at 2am

Adams Rubble: I did not know about the other libraries in the ancient world
Riddle Sideways: yes, there was the backup library over the hill and that sister library in (forget the town)
Adams Rubble: Your prof mentioned Pergamon
Riddle Sideways: yes, that place
Adams Rubble: but Ephesos also had a library
Riddle Sideways: was in competition
Adams Rubble: The Romans apparently destroyed them all
Adams Rubble: in time

Riddle Sideways: meanwhile was confused at first by your blog 1751
Adams Rubble: which part?
Adams Rubble: ohhh, you get emails
Riddle Sideways: are the emails out of order
Adams Rubble: When I first post an entry you get that in an email
Adams Rubble: If I add something later you do not see it, unless you go to the websote
Adams Rubble: in 1751 I referred to something posted later
   --BELL--
Adams Rubble: There are a whole bunch of you that have an email subscription
Adams Rubble: I can only tell you that I often post again later in the day
Adams Rubble: I do less knowing so many of you will not see it but sometimes I just have to write
Adams Rubble: so in 1751 I referred to it
Adams Rubble: Is that what confused you?
Riddle Sideways: yes, for a few moments
Riddle Sideways: but fun. referring to something in the past that happens in the future
Adams Rubble: I try not to do more than one post a day
Riddle Sideways: or the other way about
Adams Rubble: layers of time
Riddle Sideways: meant it as, it was a fun head trip when not awake enough
Adams Rubble: :)

Adams Rubble: we spend so much time lamenting our past actions and worrying about the future
Adams Rubble: I worried about not being able to come here today
Riddle Sideways: yes ㋡
Riddle Sideways: already worried about next month travel days and if missing anything here

Adams Rubble: the verizon man came and drilled a hole in the side of the house to directly connect the router to the outsiide box for faster internet. It took only 20 minutes
Adams Rubble: now i have a nice hole in the wall for the ants to come in
Riddle Sideways: a bit of putty fixes that
Adams Rubble: he seems to have done that outside
Riddle Sideways: did the cable use to go round and round the house?
Adams Rubble: hehe
Adams Rubble: no the router was connect to a box in the cellar
Adams Rubble: hmm, maybe that was sort of going round about
Riddle Sideways: 'Fixing a hole where the rain gets in, and keeps my mind from wondering' 'where it will gooooo ooo"
Adams Rubble: the leg bone is connected to the ankle bone...
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: we've got a song in our hearts
Riddle Sideways: issue today with Wander vs Wonder
Adams Rubble: I love to go a wondering along my mindful pass
Riddle Sideways: been playing a lot of those 'change one letter' games lately
Adams Rubble: I'm surprise no one has written a song about someone wandering and wondering. We do it so often
Adams Rubble: what can you tell us about the Cleos that we do not know?
Riddle Sideways: sounds formular
Riddle Sideways: hmmm
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: next weeks class is to have much more on the Christians in Alexandria
Riddle Sideways: and how much fun they had
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: lots of heresies
Adams Rubble: and near heresies
Riddle Sideways: the Romans pretty well got the Jews out of Alexandria
Adams Rubble: ???
Adams Rubble: say more
Riddle Sideways: Well some law says that each Caesar is G-d. And Jews have a big issue with that
Adams Rubble: but not place to go than elsewhere in Roman Empire
Adams Rubble: much place to go
Adams Rubble: there is Persia
Riddle Sideways: well the Romans did announce that any religions were free to grow and be
Riddle Sideways: how Christianity got going
Riddle Sideways: as long as ya also paid to Caesar
Riddle Sideways: tribute
Riddle Sideways: that worship thing
Riddle Sideways: later urban development needed the land synagogues were on for new temples to new Caesars
Riddle Sideways: (reminder not to let Riddle write history books)
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: meanwhile the Caesar most of us know, gets dead in a heated senate debate
Riddle Sideways: and Mark Anthony gets Cleo
Adams Rubble: for a while
Riddle Sideways: yep
Adams Rubble: and inspires great literature
Adams Rubble: and Cleo VII becomes THE Cleo
Adams Rubble: also inspiring art
Riddle Sideways: she knew lots of languages
Riddle Sideways: and art, literature, maths, governing
Riddle Sideways: only ruler that could speak Egyptian
Riddle Sideways: seems the Greeks did not need to speak to the people
Adams Rubble: speak English you'all
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: So Eratosthenes documents that the Sun is the center of the galaxy
Riddle Sideways: but his books burn up, mostly
Riddle Sideways: later Hero (somename) puts a twist on the orbital paths and gets Earth to be the center
     Built a machine that at hard to calc times of the year made the smooth orbits do a loop and go backward
Riddle Sideways: as it should be
Riddle Sideways: whoops was really Aristarchus

Adams Rubble: Did you ever wonder in Copernicus was a tulku?
Riddle Sideways: think yes
Riddle Sideways: have thought of many that probably were
Riddle Sideways: that just grew up in the (different) place
Riddle Sideways: beings incarnated in a place on the other side of the flat Earth
Riddle Sideways: where they don't teach the Tibetan trainings
Riddle Sideways: but also think about (what is that word) where there is an era of many enlighted being happening
Adams Rubble: don't know the word for it
Adams Rubble: and that's OK
Riddle Sideways: many religions being formed spontaniously and/or syncronatic
Riddle Sideways: at same time many sciences and development happening
Riddle Sideways: rich periods of time
Riddle Sideways: followed then by some dark Ages
Adams Rubble: yes until the Trumpians take over
Riddle Sideways: Nero watches the city burn
