The Adventures of Ashley Madder: Chapter Six, Page Six
Every schoolboy knows the Muslims burned it to the ground in a fit of ignorant rage too.
Every schoolboy knows that every country in the world exports bauxite, jute, and hemp to every other country in the world.
So did Julius Caesar, and others. Let’s spread the blame for this around. But what I read somewhere, was that every ship was required to let the library people copy any and all scrolls ( aka books) they had. The library would keep the original and give the new copy back to them.
if I am not wrong, I just hope we will soon see Ashley on a pedestal in a temple, worshiped as a goddess, right??? Like, as a manifestation of Isis??? Ashley is basically totally nude. And the goddess of sex is also usually depicted as a naked young voluptuous woman. And Ashley is no different than that. Her crashing from the sky and remaining unbroken really gives her an opportunity to become a goddess though unbeknown to her.
I suspect this is a good chapter for you.
(Note that there was a duplicate — I think probably accidental — of this comment. I removed it, not because there is anything wrong with it, but just because it was duplicated.)
Yes. It was my nearly identity comment. I my first draft hadn’t gone through and I had some afterthoughts so I wrote it over and posted it again. I was just too eager and not used to posting comments. Sorry for the confusion.
No worries. I’ve made similar mistakes myself any number of times.
Isis isn’t a sex goddess. Did you mean Ishtar? Aphrodite?
Just as I thought too. Ptolemy III had just become Pharaoh and concocted the cult of serapis to syncretize Greek and Egyptian beliefs to consolidate political power. There is a lot of good material on wikipedia and other related websites. I can see where the alternative history here might be going as far as influencing the next two hundred years up to the fateful meeting of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra and their plans to unify Greco Roman civilization to continue the vision of Alexander. Then we must consider the syncretism of male gods such as aton, Osiris, Horus , Ormuz and Mithras as well as zeus and jupiter into a universal Osiris to match Isis to form a unified religion in place of Christianity to consolidate the emerging ecumenical state along with the policy of homonoia to interbreed the races and cultures. Have some more thinking to work out. More later.
To make a longer story a little shorter there was a publication I read when I was studying classical antiquities entitled the borza papers. The basic question was what would have happened in history if Alexander the great hadn’t died? I was in a class on the Hellenistic ge and the papers were a big part of the course. Will look up the borza papers to see if they are still in print to check out the ideas again. Will let you know.
Good news! The historian Eugene N. Borza is an expert on Hellenism and Alexander the great. There are at least two websites, alternate history forum and fandom wikia alternative history wki. There just happens if be a lot going on right now about the very period of history our heroine finds herself hoist in. Speaking of Isis ashlea madderiana, what if she somehow transforms back to flesh and blood before the very eyes of her enthralled and enchanted worshippers and serapians? That would make her apotheosis and Epiphany complete and virtually ensure her worship for ages to come. Maybe the Egyptian priests have some kind of potions related to mummification and preservation or restoration of the soul and body along with sexual rituals and practices not to mention Greek natural philosophers and Hippocratic medicine of Alexandria. And let us not forget Aesculapius and eleusinian mysteries and the psychotropic drugs used in the rites. A few incantations to hekate couldn’t hurt either. That’s it for now. More coverage as the news story develops.
My last reply is new with some valuable information so keep the post. Also checked out alternative history of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. There’s a lot. Mindbogglingly incredible like the tales of gnosis college and erotic mad science themselves.
Although it isn’t alternate history (it’s fictionalized history), you might enjoy Gore Vidal’s Julian, if you haven’t read it already.
Thanks for your kindness and understanding. Your website and its contents and departments are very valuable to me. I knew this stuff the first time I found it. It just took a while to get my nerve up. It’s a good place for me to share a lot of things that I haven’t been able to with anyone or anywhere else and for other people and you to share with me. Your departments like thaumatophile manifesto, pyrosophy, and the moral society have been very pivotal to me at a pivotal time in my life. My own life course and thought has been coming to the same line and point that yours has. I should say along the same line and to the same point. Will have more to say about all this later in posts to those departments. Gratias et Vale.
