By The Waters of Babylon Quotation Sandwich

Claim: The leader, or founder of the People of the Hills must have known of the reality of who the 'gods' truly were and how they actually died.


Quote: "It is forbidden to cross the great river and look upon the place that was the Place of the Gods--this is most strictly forbidden. We do not even say its name though we know its name." p1


Commentary: Someone in their society knows what the Place of the Gods is, and who the gods were. They have to know in order to forbid it to be gone to and to not allow anyone to say the name of the place. Someone has to know what and who they were in order for them to be so caucious of letting others know also.
