Almost everything we believe about our individual cultures, the goals of modern society, the use of religion & technology to control the masses, it should all be challenged. My first surprise lesson was that prior to the Roman Empire at least the southern half of Italy was occupied by ancient Greeks, Ionian, Mycenean, Minoan etc. I had come to Italy specifically to go to Mount Gargano where Crixus died battling the Romans. Pursued by cavalry on horseback, riding from the Eastern city of Pompei, Crixus headed to the high, undulating & complex terrain of these mountains once regarded to be in the area of Apulia. Trying to find the best tactical location, led me to the highest point on the Eastern side, looking down over the ocean. I pulled my car up at a clearly levelled location with prime views. Hopping from the car felt I'd found a significant place. As I looked to the ground, I saw a broken marble column buried in the earth. I was of course amazed & began to realize the location's undeniable prime location for any temple or settlement. Then I noticed a large pit, dug clearly for archaeology with large chunks of marble statues & columns of an ancient temple. Pieces had been purposely "annihilated" almost beyond recognition, but form cannot hide itself, like finding a torn canvas of a painting. Slaves must have been forced, at life cost, to completely destroy their history. Then my vision lifted to the slightly higher mountain rising behind me & I then felt something incredible, spiritually absorbing & magnetic telling me that there on that piece of mountain once lived an ancient people whose community, crops & temples spread across this mountain top. I'm not sure how to explain spirit voices to those whose faith can't believe but a clear voice within said, "Up here, beneath the forest, you will discover us, proof of the ancient people". After thirty minutes of climbing through thorns, almost sideswiped by a wild pig I reached an area in the forest where a moden firecircle had been built, in the firepit sat the horned skull of a bull....
