After saying this, the scholar nodded in the direction of the camera, and the department responsible for coordinating the video conference was assigned authority, and the joint research institute composed of religion, theology, and history experts, which was originally in the small split screen in the lower right corner, switched to the main screen.

Around the large round table sat a large group of solemn religious figures dressed in various traditional costumes, and only a quarter of them were dressed in secular clothes in suits and leather shoes, but including the moderator in charge of the speech.

"So far, we have divided the sources of religion and history of the medieval world into four categories:"

The presenter was obviously much more straightforward than the representative of the linguist, noticing the switch of the main screen, without any greetings or politeness, and directly began to explain:

"The first category consists of religious texts, including sacred texts, hymns, records of the saints of the past, biographies of bishops, and other written materials; The second category is nature and science and technology, including written materials such as mathematics, painting, medical and medicinal herbs, and agricultural summaries; The third category is grassroots records, including parish correspondence, the diary of the village administration of Ekrí, and the memories of Praia's young studies; The fourth category is the most extensive communication, such as the theological information when Praia and André talked, and the taxation information when they exchanged with Ifrit, O'Connor, and others...... The ghost stories of the servants of the castle are also in this category. ”

"According to the sources and circumstantial evidence, we have weighted different sources and sorted out a chronology of the 'dominant' religion and parts of the medieval world, from which it is clear that the religion and history of the medieval world are divided into three stages."

As he spoke, the host pressed the console, and the main screen split into a small half, showing three words.

"Myth – Legend—Reality."

"As can be seen from the name, the first and second stages, whether religious or historical, are very implausible and have many doubts. - This is normal, there is no scientific historical record method, and it is combined with religion, and it is a little older, so it is easy to have such a problem. ”

"In the beginning, we only prioritized the chronology of the first two periods as a low-priority reference. It wasn't until just now, after the colleagues in the language group reported the accent suspicions, that we suddenly discovered that the nodes in these three stages were almost exactly the same as the time when the colleagues in the language group discovered the suspicions......

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

"Myth (300 years ago) - Legends (150 years ago - 170 years ago) - Reality (for now)"

"Widely sourced data is the most powerful circumstantial evidence! After urgently comparing the accent ratio and doubtful time found by our colleagues in the language group, we found that in the two stages of myth and legend, we originally thought it was pure nonsense, cough...... The beautified deeds are likely to be real history! ”

Speaking of this, with a dreamy look on his face that although it had faded a lot, traces could still be found, the host pressed the console a few times.

On the right side of the main screen, a close-up of the third page of the Book of Saints appears:

"The next day the shepherd went out of the mountains, and Augustine went to Kyrenia; Steward's journey to Lossymouth; Lennon went to Glasgow; Gregory goes to Fishgard; Potter to Raparis ......"

"The people loved them, the gentlemen brought stones, the freedmen brought out the grain, the serfs who had nothing gave all their strength, and in the following year the five holy dwellings of the lord stood high......

"As they set out, the people were in high spirits, and followed the shepherd of the Lord to the greatest plain, and when they stopped, four other groups appeared at the end of the distance...... Two years later, the saints of the mountains poured the first cup of holy water in the largest church......"

After reading the above three paragraph......s, the host said: "This is the stage of mythology, which describes the process of five students of the saints, who go to five places and build five churches at the same time in one year, and each with a large number of craftsmen, in the plain that Mr. Saint has a fancy for, and build the largest church in two years. ”

"Please note......" said the host with a serious expression, "this is the first saint to dominate religion, and the first bishop...... The first term means that before that, the dominant religion had no foundation, it was entirely the origin stage, and the only believers were this saint and his five students! ”

"Can you believe it? There is no foundation! Five people, with their tongues alone, went to five places separately, the nobles did not resent them for fighting for power, the freedmen were willing to give their wretched rations, the serfs seemed to have taken stimulants, and churches were built in a year! …… This is not enough, but also to take a bunch of people to travel for two months to a place that has never been heard of before to continue building a house...... And every single one of them succeeded! Can you believe it? ”

The host of "......" looked left and right, and asked the religious people beside him, "Is there such a miracle in the history of your sect?" ”

"Sacrifice for God, blood is just as much glory." A religious figure shook his head. - Although he did not answer directly, combined with the history of the earth's religions displayed simultaneously on the left side of the main screen, everyone heard the meaning of this shepherd: in the early days of mission, almost all religions had martyrs who followed one after another, and they had never heard of such a smooth process.

"The Duomo of Milan, five centuries old." This is the answer of another religious person. - It took so long to build a magnificent church in the 13th century, and the medieval world was far behind in its architectural capabilities, and although it was not as exaggerated as the Duomo of Milan, according to the Records of the Saints, and the descriptions of other subsequent bishops from those regions, these five churches were at least twice the size of the church in the village of Ekri. On the premise that the whole village was believer, it took three years for the church in the village of Akri to live; It is unbelievable that a student with a single tongue can build a church twice the size of Ackery's village in one year.

"It took 17 years to travel west."

"Sinai Desert, Forty Years."

“……”

Religious figures have spoken one after another, basically taking a similar attitude: Missionary work is of course important, but it is also necessary to respect the historical process.

"The first ......" asked a circle, facing the camera, and the host concluded: "We do think so...... There is a similar situation in the history of the earth's religions: the later clergy are far-fetched to put the fruits of the joint efforts of several generations or even more than a dozen generations of clergy 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 five places almost identical, you can only think that this myth is true!" Dominating religion is like this, without any stumbling, and directly taking root in these five places! ”

"This is the biggest anomaly."

The small stick in the host's hand struck several times in the position of the "Records of Saints": "In addition, according to the time points provided by our colleagues in the language team, we have found many strange places in the scriptures, the records of saints, and the life and deeds of the bishop. ”

"Between 150 and 170 years ago, when the texts that dominated religion were largely devoted to the praise of the greatness of the religion, the philosophical thinking of the religion, and the invention and popularization of agricultural technology......"

"Yes, you heard it right!" Quite anticipating the surprise of the attendees, the moderator said exactly: "In the mythological stage, outside of the normal affairs of the religious sphere, the vast majority of the energy that dominated religion was mainly focused on the invention and spread of agricultural technology, and the reproduction and survival of believers!" During this time period, the density of people in the areas covered by the dominant religion has tripled! ”

"To say that this time period is a 'myth', the main myth lies in the incredible speed of technology diffusion, the incredible speed of information transmission, and the incredible survival rate of the population during this time...... There are very few miracles that are actually mentioned, or miracles that are obviously very amazing, but they are only lightly mentioned in one stroke, and it is not surprising. ”

As he spoke, the host read a short paragraph: "There is no shame in being hungry. Saint/Bligh pointed to the tree, and the green light fell from the sky, and the leaves turned into bread. Sheltered by the sacred tree, people can rest, and the tired earth can rest. In the coming year, the people were full of energy, the earth was full of energy, and the seeds sown were reaped in multiplicity. ”

"Look at ......" the host smashed his mouth: "Such a miraculous phenomenon, the Saints record only 11 words (Note 1), but the teaching content about the rotation of land is 83 words......

"These and the classics 150 years later are completely two extremes!"
