Interesting....

The link is to a story about an ancient Teotihuacan temple presently under excavation in Mexico. It's also the site where Catholics reenact the Crucifixion during Holy Week. I've been fascinated before, (and I'm sure that someone, somewhere has written an article on this in some periodical), by the fact that places considered divine remain divine despite changes in the population. Temples in Egypt have gone from being the seat of Egyptian gods to being Christian churches to being Muslim mosques as new people have come and conquered. Likewise, the Parthenon (temple to the virgin Athena) was converted to a church of the Virgin Mary before it too became a mosque. The cathedral Hagia Sophia in Istanbul became a mosque as well. It makes sense to me that when a new people invade a location and supplant the inhabiting people, the new gods displace the previous gods as well. However, in this most recent case, knowledge about the temple was apparently forgotten and the rites began in the same spot by coincidence. I'm all, like... woah!

In other news, it seems to me that my afternoon classes have been holding out on me. They're much sharper than they'd let on.

Oh yeah, and Pink's new CD kicks ass!
