Yesterday, in my lifestream, I posted about an article I came across from BBC news about how a Manchester historian had deciphered a musical code used by Plato in his manuscripts. As I read the BBC News article I came upon the below passage and got chills:
“Plato’s own teacher was executed for religious heresy,” he said. “And Plato and the other followers of Pythagoras were known for hiding their doctrines.
“They wanted to replace the Olympic Gods with science and mathematics. These were dangerous views.
…imagine if they had succeeded!!
Just imagine how differently history would have unfolded if science and mathematics had replaced religion in ancient Greece back in the 300s BC!
I would give anything to see what that would have been like!!
Siiiigh!
