RE: Let's Learn Something Cool - The Solar System (The Trolls Are Back!)
Thank you for that!
It reminded me of Atlas, who was punished to hold the skies. Could turtles derive from Atlas?
turtles - turtlas - tartlas - atlas? :P
Jokes aside, myths are fascinating and human imagination can create amazing stories. It's funny though how some ideas remain the same within different cultures.
Logic and (modern western) science take place in the conscious mind. The subconscious is much more powerful and makes little or no use of logic at all! It's language is that of myth and dreams.
And there are theories of a deeper still "collective" consciousness which might explain the recurrence of mythological themes throughout history and across geological barriers.
