I won't down the wisdom itself, but your body size reference is off. Vikings were known to be large in relation to their neighbors, but also had farming and writing. Agriculture may reduce the base size of people, but in relation to genetic potential. Without agriculture, a city of artisans/sages with stone buildings regularly rebuilt would not be possible. The search for food would not leave time to dedicate to dedicate to philosophy and art. Alternatively, there is evidence of "giants" through American native traditions, as well as evidence some south American royal lines married to increase size. Add to that claims by the royal lines of shared ancestry with the Toltec and there is historical evidence that the Toltec WERE a race, but blended into later civilizations through intermarriage. History is fun, philosophy and mythology are fun, but it's even better when they intersect.
Thank you for the intro time to dig in some more.
thank you!
Not to miss the importance of spiritual peace; but, what about the Castaneda/Juan philosophy of extended perception and mobility?
