214 Religious History

After saying this, the scholar nodded in the direction of the camera, responsible for coordinating the allocation of authority for video conferencing. The joint research institution composed of religion, theology, and history experts, which were originally located in the small split screen in the lower right corner, switched to the home screen.

Around the wide round table, there were a large group of solemn religious people wearing various traditional costumes, and only one-quarter of the secular outfits in suits and ties, but they included the hosts in charge of speaking.

“So far, we have classified sources of religion and history from the Middle World into four categories:”

This host was obviously much more straightforward than the representative of the linguist. He noticed that the home screen was switched, and there was no greeting or politeness, so he started the explanation directly:

"The first category is religious texts, including written materials such as saints, hymns, saints of all generations, and bishops' life and deeds; the second category is written materials such as nature and science and technology, including mathematics, painting, medical and herbs, farming summary, etc.; the third category is grassroots records, including parish letters, Akerry's village governance diary, and Playa's memories when she was young; the fourth category is the most extensive exchange, such as theological information of Playa and Andre's conversation, tax information when communicating with Everett, O'Connor and others. The ghost stories of the Castle servants are also like this."

"According to the source and circumstantial evidence, we assign weights to different data, and compiled a chronology of the 'dominate' religion and some areas of the medieval world. From this chronology, we can clearly find that the religion and history of the medieval world are divided into three stages."

As he said that, the host pressed the console and the main screen was divided into half, showing three words.

"Myth—Legend—Reality."

"From the naming, we can see that the first and second stages, both religion and historical records, are very unreliable and have many doubts. - This is normal, without scientific historical records, and combined with religion, and if the age is a little older, such problems are likely to occur."

"At the beginning, we just listed the chronology of the first two stages as reference materials with relatively low priority. It was not until just now that the colleagues in the language group reported doubts about the accent, we suddenly discovered that the nodes in these three stages were almost exactly the same as the doubts found by the colleagues in the language group."

Speaking of this, the host operated the console again, and an era appeared next to the words at the bottom of the home screen.

"Myth (300 years ago) - Legend (150 years-170 years ago) - Reality (current)"

"The data from a wide range of sources is the most powerful circumstance! After an emergency comparison with the accent ratio found by colleagues in the language group, we found that in the two stages of myth and legend, we originally thought that it was pure nonsense and beautification, the deeds that we originally thought were purely nonsense and beautification were likely to be real history!"

Speaking of this, the dreamy expression on his face, although it had faded a lot, but still found traces. The host pressed the operating table a few times.

A close-up of the third page of the Saints appeared on the right side of the home screen:

"The next day, the pastor walked out of the mountains, Augustin went to Kyrenia; Steward went to Lothymouth; Rennon went to Glasgow; Gregory went to Fishgard; Porter went to Laparis"

"People love them. The gentlemen brought stones, the free people brought food, and the serfs who had nothing to do, and the next year, five sacred residences stood tall."

"When they set out, people were excited and followed the dominant pastor to the largest plain. When they stopped, four other teams appeared at the far end. Two years later, the saints in the mountains poured the first cup of holy water in this largest church."

"Everyone" read the above three paragraphs, the host said: "This is the mythological stage, which describes the five students of the saints who went to five places and built five churches in one year, and each brought a large number of craftsmen to build a largest church in two years on the plain that the saints valued."

"Please note" the host said with a serious expression: "This is the first saint who dominates religion, and the first bishop of the first bishop. It means that before this, dominating religion has no foundation and is completely in the stage of origin. The only believers are this saint and his five students!"

"Do you dare to believe it? There is no foundation! Five people, with their tongues, went to five places respectively. The nobles did not resent their fight for rights. The free people were willing to give their pitiful rations. The serfs seemed to have taken stimulants and built a church in one year! This is not enough. They also have to take a bunch of people to travel thousands of miles and travel for two months to continue building a house in a place that they had never heard of before, and everyone succeeded! Do you dare to believe it?"

"Everyone" the host looked around and asked the religious people beside him: "Is there such a miracle in the history of your sect?"

"Dedicated to God, blood is equally glorious." A religious person shook his head. Although there was no direct answer, combined with the history of earth's religion displayed simultaneously on the left side of the main screen, everyone heard the meaning of the shepherd: When preaching in the early days, almost all religions had martyrs who had succeeded in succession, and had never heard of such a smooth process.

"Milan Cathedral lasted five centuries." This is the answer of another religious person. - It took so long to build a magnificent church in the 13th century on Earth. The architectural capabilities of the medieval world were far behind. Although it was not as exaggerated as the Milan Cathedral, according to the records of the Saints and other later bishops from those areas, these five churches were at least twice the size of the church in Akerri Village. With the premise that the whole village is a believer, it took three years for the church in Akerri Village; it was incredible that students with one tongue could complete the church twice the size of Akerri Village in a year.

"It took 17 years to travel west to obtain the scriptures."

“Sinai Desert, forty years.”

""

Religious people spoke one after another, basically taking a similar attitude: missionary is of course important, but historical processes must also be respected.

"First" asked a round and facing the camera, the host concluded: "We do think that there are similar situations in the history of Earth's religion: the later priests forced themselves to put the joint efforts of several generations or even dozens of generations of priests all on the heads of the original pioneers."

"However, this myth is completely in line with the doubts found by colleagues in the language group." The host spread his hands: "If you want to make the evolution rate of religious accents in the five places almost the same, you can only think that this myth is true! The dominant religion is like this, without stuttering at all, and it took root and sprouted directly in these five places!"

"This is the biggest abnormality."

The small stick in the host's hand hit a few times in the "Saint Record" position: "In addition, according to the time points provided by colleagues in the language group, we also found many strange places in the Saint Record, Saint Record and the bishop's life and deeds."

"Taking 150-170 years ago as the intermediate point, in the time before, the texts that dominate religion are mostly focused on praising the greatness of the master, expounding the philosophical thinking that dominates religion, as well as the invention and promotion of agricultural technology."

"Yes, you heard it right!" He was able to predict the surprise of the participants. The host said exactly: "In 150-170 years ago, in the mythological stage, in normal religious affairs, most of the energy that dominates religion was mainly focused on the invention and promotion of agricultural technology, as well as the reproduction and survival of believers! During this period, the coverage area that dominates religion has increased by three times!"

"The main thing about this period of time is that during this period, the incredible speed of technology promotion, incredible information transmission, and incredible population survival rate are rare when it comes to miracles, or it is obviously very amazing miracles, but they are just mentioned in an understatement, not surprisingly."

As he said, the host read a short passage: "Hunger is not shameful. Saint/Blay pointed to the big tree, and the green light fell from the sky, and the leaves turned into bread. The holy tree protected people, and people could rest, and the tired earth could rest. In the coming year, people would be energetic and the earth would be energetic. The seeds sown have been harvested with multiple measures."

"Look," the host smashed his mouth: "For such a magical phenomenon, the Saints Record only records 11 words (Note 1). The teaching content about making the land turn farming has 83 words."
