geoffreycaveney's Judaeo-Greek theory

[Linda]

Thank you Linda. I am going to take a wild guess that you may also be thinking about the idea of a volcanic eruption, which would put "the continents in the shadows" if the eruption were massive enough to affect the atmosphere over large areas of the world for significant amounts of time, as has happened in the past in the event of certain very major volcanic eruptions. In this case, "houses" could just refer to actual houses that were destroyed. Of course this is all speculative until we understand much, much more about the ms and the text and its interpretation.

Interesting, i hadn't actually thought of that. My other idea was something else completely. I will let you know if i see signs of it in any of your subsequent translations.
