RE: Re-evaluating the Star of Bethlehem, Part 3: "For we have seen his star in the east and have come to worship him." (featuring @vuyusile as author)

That is a profound question. In my response to @kyriacos I criticised intellectual chauvinism. I might be more precise and criticise modern intellectual chauvinism that regards the ancients as little more than neo-apes, far below us on the evolution chain. The more I learn about what they thought about and how they approached problems, the more I am impressed; and the more I realise how much of what we have is built upon their shoulders. thanks for your ongoing interest!
