In Greek mythology, Prometheus was the Titan who defied the king of the gods to give one of humanity's greatest gifts: fire. His act of rebellion made him one of the most celebrated heroes in Greek legend, but it also condemned him to one of mythology's most brutal punishments.
Prometheus belonged to the race of Titans, the powerful beings who ruled before the Olympian gods led by Zeus.
Although he was born a Titan, Prometheus sided with the Olympians during their war against his own kind after concluding that Zeus would ultimately prevail. His intelligence and foresight helped secure the Olympians' victory.
After the war, Prometheus became humanity's greatest champion. Greek myths credit him with creating humans from clay and repeatedly protecting them from Zeus' anger.
In one famous story, he tricked Zeus into accepting the bones and fat of sacrificed animals while allowing humans to keep the meat, establishing the traditional form of animal sacrifice in Greek religion.
Furious at the deception, Zeus punished humanity by taking away fire, forcing people to live in darkness, eat uncooked food, and endure the cold. Refusing to accept their suffering, Prometheus secretly stole fire from Mount Olympus, hiding the divine flame inside a hollow fennel stalk before delivering it to mankind.
Fire allowed humans to cook food, forge metal, create tools, and build civilizations, making Prometheus a symbol of knowledge and progress.
Zeus responded with severe vengeance. According to the myth, he sent Pandora to Earth with a sealed jar, later popularly called Pandora's Box. When it was opened, disease, suffering, old age, and countless other evils spread across the world, leaving only hope behind.
Prometheus himself received an even harsher punishment. Zeus ordered him chained to a rock high in the Caucasus Mountains, where each day a giant eagle descended to tear out and devour his liver.
Because Prometheus was immortal, the organ regenerated every night, allowing the torment to begin the following day again. His suffering continued for ages until the hero Heracles eventually slew the eagle and freed him.

@JBerkovick@cepibolla_ No le hagan caso a esta cuenta Julia @JBerkovick es un perfil falso o troll. Para tirar y formar peleas y mala onda ..lo mismo hicieron con Argentina hace unas semanas..no caigan...solo denuncienlo
MILEI TILDÓ A LULA DE "LADRÓN" Y DIJO CONFIAR EN FLÁVIO BOLSONARO PARA "LOGRAR PARAR A LA BASURA SOCIALISTA"
Javier Milei cuestionó la supuesta intervención de Brasil en la política argentina y, sin nombrarlo directamente, aludió a Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva por su respaldo a sectores del peronismo.
También vinculó esa crítica con el modelo económico kirchnerista, al que responsabilizó por financiar el déficit mediante endeudamiento y emisión monetaria.
Durante su intervención
Milei utilizó expresiones como “ladrón” y “presidiario”. Expresó, asimismo, su apoyo a Flávio Bolsonaro para frenar el avance del socialismo en Brasil. Además, sostuvo que ese modelo impone una igualdad extrema que obliga al individuo a renunciar a su identidad.
Testimonios
“Tenía a un vecino que se metía en la política de Argentina para tratar de torcer la historia en favor de los zurdos de mierda”.
“Hablo de un gobierno que emitió el equivalente a 13 puntos del PBI en un año para intentar ganar una elección y se jactaba en redes sociales de emitir dinero”.
“Estoy hablando de ese mismo que mete preso a opositores por el solo hecho de ser opositores. Para justificar estos avances sobre la propiedad privada destruyeron las nociones morales básicas y la educación que las sostenía”.
“Brasil aún no vivió las consecuencias más nefastas y profundas del modelo”.
"[Pero] puede vivirlas si no da una vuelta de timón"
“Confiamos en ti Flávio para lograr parar a la basura socialista”.
“La izquierda pretende la conformidad extrema a un sistema antihumano que existe como regla una igualdad extrema e ilusoria. Es decir, una situación donde el individuo debe romperse para encajar”.

@STLENTILES@fasc1nate If it wasn’t for European colonialism, we would have no knowledge of ancient Egyptian languages. Modern Egyptians would not have a clue about their own history and culture. Western civilization for the win.
The Rosetta Stone is one of the most important archaeological discoveries ever made. Carved from granodiorite, it bears the same decree written in three different scripts: Egyptian hieroglyphs, Demotic, and Ancient Greek. This unique combination ultimately unlocked the ability to read a writing system that had been lost for nearly 1,500 years.
By the fourth century CE, the knowledge of how to read hieroglyphs had disappeared. Ancient Egyptian temples had closed, the language had evolved, and scholars could no longer understand the inscriptions covering Egypt's monuments and tombs. For centuries, the meaning of these mysterious symbols remained a puzzle.
Everything changed in 1799 during Napoleon Bonaparte's campaign in Egypt. While strengthening a fort near the town of el-Rashid, known to Europeans as Rosetta, French officer Pierre-François Bouchard discovered a broken stone slab covered in three different scripts. Realizing its potential importance, scholars quickly recognized that the Greek text might provide the key to deciphering the other two.
When British forces defeated the French in Egypt, the Rosetta Stone was transferred to British ownership under the 1801 Treaty of Alexandria and eventually taken to London, where it remains today in the British Museum.
The breakthrough came in 1822 when French scholar Jean-François Champollion successfully deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphs by comparing the Greek and Egyptian texts. His work opened the door to translating thousands of inscriptions that had been silent for centuries, transforming the study of ancient Egypt.

Zadzwoniłam do o. Ingo Dollingera, niemieckiego księdza i byłego profesora teologii w Brazylii, który jest w podeszłym wieku i osłabiony fizycznie. Od wielu lat jest osobistym przyjacielem papieża seniora Benedykta XVI. Ojciec Dollinger niespodziewanie potwierdził telefonicznie następujące fakty:
Niedługo po opublikowaniu Trzeciej Tajemnicy Fatimskiej przez Kongregację Nauki Wiary w czerwcu 2000 roku, kardynał Joseph Ratzinger powiedział o. Dollingerowi podczas osobistej rozmowy, że nadal istnieje część Trzeciej Tajemnicy, której nie opublikowali! „Jest więcej niż to, co opublikowaliśmy” – powiedział Ratzinger. Powiedział również o. Dollingerowi, że opublikowana część Tajemnicy jest autentyczna, a nieopublikowana mówi o „złym soborze i złej Mszy”, które miały się pojawić w niedalekiej przyszłości.
Ojciec Dollinger wyraził zgodę na opublikowanie tych faktów w Święto Ducha Świętego i udzielił mi błogosławieństwa.

Brasil es una superpotencia fallida. Es una versión de los EE UU que nunca terminó de despuntar.
Al igual que los EE UU, hoy están en decadencia cultural, pero a diferencia de ellos, no tienen un pasado glorioso que añorar, así que de ahí surge lo que vemos hoy.
@Ricviz Si se tocan fibras sensibles es lo normal, eso lo sabe muy bien Lula, para atajar la fuga de aportantes que tiene y seguir manteniendo su estructura de votos subsidiados para seguir empobreciendo al brasil
@DiazDiegu No mesmo dia em que os EUA sobem uma nova tarifa sobre o Brasil, o presidente diz que temos que nos preparar porque tem “uns loucos por aí que gostam de fazer guerra” e você tem dúvidas sobre quem ele estava falando? 0:24

@DiazDiegu Es literalmente un año electoral en Brasil y, obviamente, iba a aprovechar algo que enorgullece mucho a los brasileños. Brasil tiene reglas muy estrictas sobre campañas y apariciones públicas, sobre todo para quienes gobiernan, así que aprovechó la ocasión.
@DiazDiegu Lo que Lula dijo es la opinión historia de todos los brasileños(izq. o der.)
Lo que el esta tratando de hacer es crear conflicto para disminuir la popularidad de la inmigración(esp. la industrial) brasileña en el Paraguay para consulidar su poder actual.
Sobre el tema del día. Lula visitó una fábrica de misiles y vehículos de combate. Ahí justificó el gasto militar usando como ejemplo que "una vez Paraguay invadió Brasil". Paralelamente, despliega tropas en la frontera. Está en campaña, necesita un enemigo. No le demos el gusto.
A low birth rate due to extended periods of prosperity and low perceived external danger is the primary reason that Rome and most other powerful civilizations collapsed.
Rome had a very high birth rate when under extreme pressure from Carthage and a low birth rate a few generations after Carthage, their last serious threat, was finally destroyed.
Rome fell because the Romans stopped making Romans.
Elon Musk pointed to the same pattern that appears whenever a civilization gets comfortable: birth rates drop.
Julius Caesar noticed it around 50 BC and explored incentives for a third child. Augustus went further with the Lex Julia and Lex Papia Poppaea, creating the ius trium liberorum, privileges, tax relief, and inheritance advantages for those with three or more children, plus penalties for the childless. The laws failed to reverse the trend.
Will and Ariel Durant’s reading of history shows the cycle repeating: higher births under stress, decline once external threats ease and prosperity rises. Few exceptions.
A society that stays below replacement long enough disappears. Basic arithmetic.
Another trans person has been arrested over the m—rder of his parent.
36-year-old Safford James Wolfson, who identifies as female, was arrested on suspicion of the m—rder of Angela Caprioli. The 61-year-old woman was found dead at her home in Laguna Beach on July 20.
The suspect formerly worked at Spin magazine, according to his Linkedin. He attended the private liberal arts college Pitzer College.
Multiple trans people have been arrested over the m—rders of their parents in just the last couple of years. In extreme trans ideology, parricide — killing one's own mother or father — is often a recurring theme.
In my research of the Zizian trans death cult, I found that its members believed strongly in m—rdering "transphobic" parents. They believed that's how they would get justice. More info about my book: https://t.co/5p3o6Ph5P2
