God and goddess, those terms were used for malenia, however they are inaccurate in describing the concepts and people revered for great things in the past. At what point in the human life span do we put aside our insistence on what people of 2,000 years ago believed of people 5,000 years ago. Can we not take what the people of 5,000 years ago left for us to disern who they were and how they viewed life? Without prejudice? I spoke to a writer today who published a curriculum called Golden Apples and is working on a bible translation called the Tree of Life. She nearly ended our conversation when I asked her if she knew about the Egyptian goddess of the Tree of Life. Explaining she only follows her god of.... I attempted to explain Seshat was no god but a symbol and that people get confused by images on walls that were honoring ancestors, as we do today, with making those people the supreme god. The language used to describe their role is taken out of context. I explained its not about gods but the history of education, scripts, the laying of foundation of temples, mathematics, and all those things taught to scribes in the ancient schools. She told me to have a good day! She did write down "Seshat" and plug her book on amazon. Super frustrating that productive conversations are swarted by people's fear of being exposed to something that falls outside of the realm of the scripts they read and acknowledge. I am interested in calling her back in six months when her book is complete to see what the hebrews who were writing in greek were thinking when transcribing the sayings of proverbs about wisdom and instruction.
