EEE-LECTURE ON EUROPE
EEE-LECTURE ON EUROPE
(L'Europe est une bénédiction pour l'humanité?)
If you have anything classy money can buy in Paris or Rome, your value cannot be enhanced.
Selfish guys can also feel like a hero when they come back and display their pictures taken in Paris and Rome to their colleagues of good nature.
Such things spoil young men.
If you want to restore economy and social systems in your country, you had better not recommend young men and women traveling to Paris and Rome, since I have never seen anybody coming back to Tokyo to show their growth in piousness and faith in the God Almighty who allowed the survival of the European Civilization to date for some holy reasons I am highly concerned with.
And, Tokyo is the greatest and mightiest city a single race or a tribe has ever built on the earth since the Age of Pyramids.
SECTION I: COLLAPSE OF THE WESTERN ROMAN EMPIRE
There are two contradictory views on why the Western Roman Empire collapsed in the 5th century.
(i) Peacefully transited to the Middle Age with emergence of new kingdoms in the north of the Alps, especially in present France, as recently discussed in “THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE” by Mr. Peter Heather.
(ii) Demolished unbearably mainly due to invasion by eastern wild tribes with drastic downfall of the Civilization to the level of the Stone Age as recently discussed in “THE FALL OF ROME AND THE END OF CIVILISATION” by Mr. Bryan Ward-Perkins.

This issue is related to the present arguments about CO2 emission-related crises mainly claimed by European elites.
It is because there is another convincing argument based on the climate change theory, for example in the Web site of the University of Arkansas :
---
Studies of climate changes and their subsequent influences on humans are in no way unique or new as evident from the previous discussion. So, why have scholars apparently neglected climate influence on human activity in the third century AD if there have been so many other times where climate may have had significant influence?
The answer lies in two areas: one, high-resolution climate data was not available and second, there has been a lack of communication between the historians/ archaeologists and the paleoclimatologists. The data that are readily available include palynology, which does yield annual resolution data sets, and dendrochronology, which is the best method of paleoclimatological reconstruction. Other proxies are also helpful in piecing the puzzle together

(iii) Every incident that led to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire was triggered by a great climate change around the 5th century.
This theory is supported by a book titled “The Long Summer: How Climate Changed Civilization” by Mr. Brian Fagan.
A Japanese blogger presented a very persuasive figure contained in the above book to address his idea to the same effect.

It is important to note that the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa, which have repeated globally influential eruptions several times in the past, is said to have erupted in 416 and 535.

SECTION II: DISCONTINUITY IN EUROPEAN HISTORY
It is apparent that the history of Europe has the age of discontinuity.
The Eras from Greece Civilization, the Empire of Alexander the Great, Caesar and Cleopatra, and the further prosperity of the Roman Empire until the 5th century did not smoothly lead to the Era of the Frankish Empire, including the following episodes, and further to the Middle Age:
- Merovingian rise and decline, 481–687
- Dominance of the mayors of the palace, 687–751
- Carolingian empire, 751–840
- Divided empire, post-840
You must also realize that the Eras from Greece Civilization, the Empire of Alexander the Great, Caesar and Cleopatra, and the further prosperity of the Roman Empire until the 5th century were featured by sub-tropical environments, especially around the Mediterranean.
The modes of clothes and buildings adopted by Greek philosophers, Alexander the Great, Caesar and Cleopatra, and Roman citizens were all for living in a sub-tropical environment.
But, clothes and buildings Western Europeans put on and built in the Middle Age and after were apparently for living in cold regions.
It is a quantum leap from a sub-tropical flourish, sophisticated, and open culture under the azure sky to a drab, somber, and often gloomy living under a leaden sky.
From the Middle Age to the present Era of the EU through the Renaissance, the Age of Geographical Discovery, bourgeois revolutions, the Industrial Revolution, the Age of Imperialism, WWI, WWII, and the Cold War, the (Western) European history has been proceeding basically in the only one environment with drab, somber, and often gloomy living of people under a leaden sky.
The key age of discontinuity apparently corresponds to the period of time when the Western Roman Empire collapsed.
The collapse was apparently triggered by a great climate change that caused invasion by wild tribes from the east, namely, Central Asia and North East Asia.
This large scale climate change, probably triggered by global cold temperature, could be ascribed to the great eruptions of the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa which have repeated globally influential eruptions several times in the past, say, in 416 and 535.
(Dusts and ash a volcano spews to the air prevents sun rays and heat from reaching the surface of the ground, thus lowering the temperature in the ecosystem based on which human societies are built, including its agriculture activities...)
If so, the Indonesian volcano governed the European history and thus the world history.
For example, even in Japan, during this Era, namely the 5th century, due to cold temperature, people put on clothes suitable for cold regions as proved by various clay figures excavated from great ancient burial mounds which were built all over Japan for rulers central and local only in this period.
In China, there is also a great gap in history of dynasties around this period. No single kingdom between the 3rd century and the 6th century had power and momentum to unify all mainland China, unlike Han and Qin dynasties, probably due to a lower level of agricultural products.
Europeans only know the European History; but it is truly parallel with that of China and even Japan.
SECTION III: THE VATICAN
Now you know that Europe is based on two paradigms: the original sub-tropical one of Greece and Roman times and the later developed cold-region-adaptive one of successors of the Frankish Empire.
And, the transition period between the two Ages must be severe and cruel with long-persisting famines, frequently repeated invasion by wild tribes, and a helpless debacle of long established social systems.
It is just like the God at last punished the Roman Empire who had executed Jesus Christ in Jerusalem some 400 years before.
South and Western Europes must have been buried forever.
But, the Vatican stood and saved Europe.
Yet, immediately after the decisive work of the Vatican in this period, the God judged the mind and heart of the Popes and other leaders of the Vatican and thus decided to endow Arabs with Islam for holy reasons.
*********************************************************
Now, that’s all for today.
But, remember Hitler was also a product of the influence of the paradigm of the Roman Empire while another new comer to the history, the Rothschild clan, owed its rise to the Vatican who could not develop an idea to cope with a new type of enemies against the teaching of Jesus Christ, namely modern financial desire, though the Vatican had to adhere to the old paradigm of the ancient sub-tropical European civilization to maintain order and its hegemony all over Europe.
Indeed, remember that is why Europeans today are eager to deal with CO2, since their instinct tells them that a climate change could destroy them.
Yet, you have to learn what happened in China and Japan over the above focused period, since China gradually started to lose faith in Buddhism; but Japan changed its mode of burial of rulers from the one based on original Shintoism using a big mound to the new one based on Buddhism with the building of sophisticated temples and other work of religious art.
Truly, that is all for today, again.
(As I once wrote, the French language is under strong influence of traditions of the Roman Empire. France can be really regarded as a hidden successor of the Roman Empire in the cold zone whose function Germany cannot take for itself forever, though irresponsible Anglo Saxons left the European Continent forever in those periods.
But, take note of the following:
"Civilization arose during a remarkably long summer. We still have no idea when, or how, that summer will end"
http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/eh/9.4/br_3.html )
Indeed, what you must be prepared for might be a remarkably long summer. But, with whom, or for whom??
I don’t think the nation Japan has completed its long, long summer if its population starts to a kind of decline…
