Also, what's the real deal with the bees? Obviously lots of use for the honey, magnificent animals in general, etc. BUT, was there a philosophical angle with the social structure of bees mirrored in human society?Was the idea total ego death so that they could form a perfect hive mind between each other?
>>18132754No that was ant hills. It was a free resource from bountifil nature
>>18132804You mean these?
>>18132754So even Frankishmen have a greater claim than Tartars to the Volga...
>>18132867Woah, it's quite close to this place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comana_(Cappadocia)I read that Chryse (Comana) had 6000 people working for the temple, but maybe that was just above ground.
Another related question for anyone who knows shit: is ancient "Hebrew" related to Kartvelian language? Yes, I know ancient hebrew not a real language. It was a script... a shorthand script for another known language?
>>18132754The bee is a symbol of weakness that gets misrepresented as a symbol of strength. It's not meant to justify royal authority/power it's meant to justify/rationalize the role of the monarch in a country that they don't actually govern. The queen bee's role is to lay eggs for the hive, she can't leave the queen's chamber, she doesn't govern she just reproduces, her physical needs are provided by the hive so her life is devoted entirely to he role (laying eggs). Merovingian france is governed by the mayor of the palace, the role of the king is to produce heirs to provide legitimacy/stability for the state. The bee is basically the government saying to the king "just stay in your room, eat the food that's brought to you, and produce an heir, focus on your role (producing heirs) and nothing else" probably terroristic threats like "you already have the highest role in the hive, if you want a different role maybe we can work something out" then they'd start describing how drones are genderless, male bees get killed after breeding, probably bring in enaree/eunuchs to demonstrate what a "genderless drone looks" looks like to terrorize the monarch. People who think the bee is a symbol of power don't understand the context, it means "eat the food you're given, produce babies, don't think about governance (or else)"
>>18132966That's very much where I was going with the scoail structure question, but this makes even more sense.So, who actually ran things and how was that decided? Who was above the king? You mentioned the mayor of the palace... Was he elected by secret means? I also just realized the connection between masonry and bees, at least in symbolism. I've assumed for a while that mithraism is the most obvious precursor to masonry, due to the grades of initiation and such, but bees and masons are both actual builders.

>>18132754Buzzing with your mouth can be used as mantra in meditation to achieve altered states of consciousness maybe.
>>18133641That feels like bullshit, but at the same time, that is basically the ohm sound.
