The Bible In 13,212 BC

The Shield Of Time, PART FOUR, 13,212 B.C.

The Tulat, "We," are unhappy because they are oppressed by the newly arrived Cloud People, the mammoth-killers, and also because She Who Knows Strangeness has left them. How do they express this dual unhappiness? How else?

"You Who Know Strangeness, why have you forsaken Us?" (p. 173)

I do not think that I need to tell anyone the source for this Biblical reference?

Apart from this, We have a good time at the autumn festival:

warm mud;
hot spring water;
defense against sickness and unfriendly ghosts;
live oysters carried in water;
herb-filled fish, birds and animals;
dried berries;
seal or whale blubber;
trade;
song;
dance;
love-making;
news;
plans;
reminiscences.

But this year it goes heavily.

Kaor, Paul!

I immediately thought of Psalm 21/22, without any need to click on the link!

Sean,

I think of the NT but, of course, Jesus was quoting the Psalm.

Paul.

Quite true! I should have added Our Lord was quoting from that Psalm during His Passion.

Ad astra! Sean
