So Isaac Kasubon would become, it would be like after, after da Vinci.

Okay.

If you want to think of it as a time period.

Right.

So what's happening right now, Christianity has risen very significantly in the, in the Roman Byzantine area.

It's becoming very significant and they want a reason to cut off all ties to hermeticism.

They don't want hermeticism being involved in anything to do with religion or spirituality.

There's interest involved in that in the church.

So what they do is very clever.

They hire Isaac Kasubon because he's an expert in antiquities.

They say, Isaac, we need you to discredit the hermeticism.

And he's not told that.

He's told, we need you to date.

what the age is of what we think is the oldest, you know, text.

So Isaac Kasaban takes the Hermetica and he says, he starts, he studies the pages and the ink and he can tell when things were written and whatever it is.

And he determines that the version that people are reading of the Hermetica is from Alexandria.

So the scribes of Alexandria, Egypt.

But the problem is,

that it's been rewritten for thousands of years before that.

But he tried to claim that the version that they're studying or using as the Bible, you know, in that kind of consensus, is not genuine.
