CONSTANTINE THE GREAT THE ANCIENT WORLD’S LAST HUMAN god MAN

If you can, imagine yourself as an individual, who is a member of an ancient world nomadic tribe. You may be able to grasp how ancient man thought and lived. Rather than thinking of life and time, in linear terms as we do today. You would think of life and time in cyclical terms as ancient man did. The buffalo, deer, antelope, etc. Including your tribe follow the same nomadic cycle routes year after year, generation after generation. The buffalo, deer, antelope that you killed today looks exactly like the one you killed last year, and the year before. As if it returns year after year to sacrifice itself for your meals.

Then think of your tribe coming across the ruins of an ancient civilization at a site in your tribe’s annual nomadic route, which your tribe has been visiting for many generations. But no one in your tribe or indeed in the current ancient world civilizations knows who the people are that built the ruins.

Then imagine that the greatest fear that you will experience as an individual in your lifetime or as a culture. Is that, when you die that no one will ever know who you are or will know that you have ever lived? You have this fear because, for you and your tribe, the perception is that after death each day that your name is remembered and maintained by future generations (the afterlife) will cause your individual spirit to live on into eternity until the time it is forgotten and not remembered.
