An Extinct Lotus Flower had Psychedelic Impacts on Ancient Egypt | #49 Luke Caverns

You have New York City, which for whatever reason is this limited amount of space where everything is happening. And something like that with all that energy and all that investment is either destined to fall or it's destined to be greatness, right? The Nile is sort of similar to that. As the Sahara is drying up, you have all these people who are pushed into this small compacted area.

You can't have miles and miles and miles to take your cattle around and feed in all this random grass and set up camp everywhere and just live off of the land. You have to form a sedentary lifestyle and people are packed on top of each other. So that's how they're destined to fail miserably or be an enormous success.

maybe a success so great in such a fertile place that it creates a civilization that's powerful enough to create the world's largest structures before human history and other civilizations are even doing anything. They're all, you know, around the ancient world, everybody else for the most part are still cavemen when the pyramids are being built at the pyramid's youngest date, you know?

And so I just find that fascinating. But so you have Egyptians rising, uh, arriving in Egypt. And one of the first things that they would notice as they're going down to the Nile all throughout the day is they would have known noticed this flower. So I write, uh, the Egyptian blue Lotus rises from the depths of the Nile blooms to worship the sun and descends back into the river every single day.

That flower, uh, emerges from the primordial water to worship the sun and then goes back under every single day. There's something divine about that that separates itself from all the other plant species that these ancient people would have ever noticed. So they would have seen something divine about this. I was talking to Ryan about this last night.

This is the pious chapter of human history where You know, when we were talking about... I see when people talk about vases, what is the common saying that some people use when they say, you know, the precision indicates purpose, or there's something... Yeah, function. Yeah, the precision indicates function. Well, the only issue that I would take with that is...

Sure, sure. So the only issue I would take with that is we're dealing with a different chapter in humanity going back this far. And it's really at the 5th century BC when the Greek philosophers like Socrates, he starts telling the people, telling all the young people around the Agora... You know, if the Greek gods really do exist, they're far away. I don't even know if they exist, honestly.
