RE: More Flat Earth Memes! In Case Your Faith in Humanity Was Not Completely Destroyed Yet.

in #science7 years ago

as long as we're talking about myths and legends

the norse had a pretty good one.

the injuns...er...native americans...er...indigenous aborginal north americans...er...
WHATEVER!...had a good one too.

makes just about as much sense as anything else.

Sort:  

The Navajo believed the night sky to be a black sheet which birds pecked holes in. Light from the great spirit shone through the holes, accounting for the tiny lights in the night sky.

seems reasonable.
by the way..The Navajos call themselves Diné.
which loosely translated mean 'the people'
which can be construed to mean...anyone who is NOT navajo is not people
the monkeysphere
rears it's ugly head...yet again

Interesting. It's like their word for "humanity". For some reason I didn't follow you before, but I do now. I love to learn obscure tidbits like these.

it is NOT their word for humanity.
it's their word for members of their tribe.
no one else , except their tribe...
are PEOPLE.
every one else are THEM
only the Dine' are US.

that explains everything.
....
welcome aboard.
read my books..
(if you want a bunch more 'tidbits')

Oh? But it means "the people" and excludes only nonhumans.

exactly..everyone not Dine' ARE nonhuman.
kinda like muslim
or jew
or..or..
everyone relegion and tribe..
