Like we were talking earlier, we're dealing with at least what I see as a pious society that has not reached this Western Socratic conclusion that comes to us in fifth century Athens, where people start realizing that the gods don't really have much to do with our lives. You know, this... Further back in history, even further away, this is very far away.

Even at the youngest date, we're talking about 2,000 years before Athens. So we're deep into pious civilization at this point, people caring about honoring the gods. And I put, harder stones like granite and diorite. This is actually sort of my... This is my thought here.

Rather than there being a divinity to the purpose of the vases or why the vases are perfect or the stone, I say harder stones like granite and diorite are less porous than materials like alabaster, which would... make them preferred for storing valuable slash expensive liquids like imported Minoan question mark wine and other oils.

You can more effectively age and store wine in harder, less porous stone phases, which prevent the liquid from absorbing into the stone and the stone is less likely to fall away and chip away into the liquid.

And so I wonder, do wealthier people prefer, because they're storing something valuable like wine imported from Bronze Age, early, early Greece, it's so valuable and so expensive, they're going to infuse it with the lotus flower. It has this powerful, psychedelic, holy aspect to it. You don't want it diluted. You don't want it absorbing into the stone.

You want to age it so that it's more powerful. It's more, you know, it has a more profound effect. So, and you can afford to have it made in a nicer vessel. So you do that. But why is the vessel perfect? Well, I don't know. You know, that's the reason I say is like, what if it's a holy thing as well?

It needs to be perfect because you're putting some kind of perfect, expensive, imported compound from the other side of the Mediterranean. So then I say, why did the creation of hard stone vases end around 3100 BC, the beginning of Dynasty 1? I should really say around Dynasty 0.
