	In Response To: Re: Thoth's Origins and the Jjaro (PerseusSpartacus) : Thanks for the link and the constructive criticism. Also, I already knew the : patterned Jjaro logo contained a map of Aye Mak Sicur. ;) : I didn't really think of the whole god thing, but now it makes complete : sense. The terminal about Pthia and Yrro in M2 was really a sort of : mythical tale, much like our Bible or the Ancient Greek stories such as : the Iliad, Odyssey and the story of Perseus. : However, this idea would force us to throw out all kinds of previous : information gathered from terminals as mere possible stories, as it : renders a large swath of the terminals in M2 and even Marathon Infinity to : be unreliable sources of information. : On the other hand, we read about Pthia both in Aye Mak Sicur (Terminal 2) : and in Terminal 4 of Six Thousand Feet Under... , and given the way Pthia : is mentioned in Aye Mak Sicur , it seems the Six Thousand... terminal : gave a pretty accurate description of the truth; thus, the Six : Thousand... terminal should not be ignored, and given that it's : reliable, the other seemingly "mythical tale" terminals : describing the Jjaro should probably be considered reliable as well. : Hope this doesn't confuse you too much, 'cause I might not have provided as : much resourceful information as I probably should've, and my arguments are : probably a bit thin. Not like myth and fact are 100% exclusive. Lot of history only survived as myth or connected to religious text. Troy was a real city, but for centuries the Illiad was the only public evidence it ever existed. Same with a lot of biblical cities. Ares probably didn't come down from the heavens to get his ass kicked by Diomedes. Myth has a lot of cruft. But it's a lot better than working from nothing.
