FACTS MATTER, TRUTH MATTERS
The destruction of Aristotle 's geocentric view of earth as being at the center of the solar system, by priests, Copernicus and Galileo, who superseded Aristotle's model with their own sun-centered, heliocentric model of the earth in our solar system, which is science today, was also a demonstrated refutation of the Aristotelian, man-based model of the universe, that the Holy Roman Catholic church had adopted centuries earlier as its cosmogony.
This apocalyptic science from its own learned priests was resisted at first, as it threatened to undermine the earthly power and paradigmatic primacy of the Catholic Church, if not of Christianity itself.
When facts matter, dogma departs.
Facts are foundational; facts are fundamental in determining truth.
Factual discrepancies in time grow, historically metastasizing into carefully crafted mythology, with self-aggrandizing priests, scholars, literature, art, "truth," dogma, stigmata, temples, votaries, schools, universities, the aura of authenticity, multigenerational legitimacy, money, shrines, power.
Well before Aristotle, eons before Aristotle's Greek teacher, Plato; also before Pythagorus or Thales, the first European geometers who had also emigrated to Africa to learn from and to study under Africans, earlier Africans in the now-dry, Sahara Desert, had migrated to Nubia when their rains had stopped, then followed the Nile north to "Kemet," now Egypt land.
These Africans had also mapped the stars, had created the world's first calendar thereon and written in 3 scripts: hieroglyphics, hieratic, demotic, and measured & weighed, in arithmetic, fractions, geometry.
These basic facts are irrefragable, worthy of learning, understanding. Such facts formed the foundation of this ancient African society.
They based their religion on these facts. Rhythmic astronomical redundancies and anomalies had been by them rigorously observed, recorded, and taught by their priests to their neophytes in their temples, for thousands of years before Jesus Christ's birth. These prime facts were further codified in the expertly wrought, perfectly masoned stones weighing megatons, that were hewn from distant quarries, then ferried from hundreds of miles away. These constructions, too, became the basis of their astronomically oriented, geodetically sound, buildings, architecture, of their engineering, of their mathematics and of all that has been so rightfully, ritualistically, relentlessly, studied by the world under the broad, mysterious, historical, reclamation project that since the early 1700s is called Egyptology.
