[Assata Speaks - Hands Off Assata - Let's Get Free - Revolutionary - Pan-Africanism - Black On Purpose - Liberation - Forum] Islam: Ethiopia's last gift from GOD: With the revival of the Roman law in the 14th century in Europe, this "Latin" term was used to refer to the legal standing of persons (such as the various "estates of the realm" - noble, common, and clerical), and in particular the special status of the king. The word was also associated with Roman ideas (dating back to Cicero) about the "status rei publicae", the "condition of the republic." In time, the word lost its reference to particular social groups and became associated with the legal order of the entire society and the apparatus of its enforcement.[2

[brockx3000's IMVU Blog] THE DIVINITY OF THE SERPENT: It is evident to me that the account of the "fall of man" from Eden was adapted by biblical writers from pre-Judaic polytheistic traditions in which a divine and omniscient serpent, representing the female creative nature , was pitted against the created order of a male oriented divinity. It is for this reason that the serpent is stressed as demonic, in spite of the fact that the Genesis authors are compelled to harmonize their account with those of the surrounding peoples, and therefore must write that the serpent is a creature of God, and "more 'subtil' (sic) [ Genesis 3:1] than any beast of the field which the Lord God has made."

[The Cimmerian] Contra “Hyboria”; Or, Convenience Isn’t Everything: No way does the name of an Acheronian conqueror live on as a title of Hyborian rulers the way Caesar did as “Kaiser” and “Czar.” Things might have been different, though; one of the gobsmackingest surprises of The Bloody Crown of Conan was Howard’s original conception of Acheron as revealed in his “Untitled Synopsis” for The Hour of the Dragon: “Many centuries before the people of Acheron, Hyborians more highly civilized than their neighbors to the east and west, had been lords of an empire which included what was later southern Nemedia and Brythunia, most of Corinthia, most of Ophir, western Koth and the western lands of Shem, northern Argos, and eastern Aquilonia.” The “Untitled Synopsis” goes on to say “The descendants of the people of Acheron were more numerous than men supposed, dwelling in the fastness of the hills, in communities in the great cities, and scattered throughout the kingdom as priests, menials, secretaries, and scribes” Only the hill-folk made it into the novel we know today, and while the notion of relict Acheronian communities, an intelligentsia that durst not speak its name like the conversos of Spain or the Roman bureaucrats who kept things running while their new Germanic kings fashioned drinking goblets from the skulls of rivals, is a fascinating one, it had to go as soon as Howard souped up the Acheronians’ sinister mystique and made them not only un-Hyborian but mercilessly anti-Hyborian.
