We continue our exploration of universal history, picking up where we left off last episode with the special symbolic significance of Ethiopia (https://youtu.be/czy7MnDXOO0). In this episode we address some responses we’ve received on the universal history series. We discuss the Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius more in depth, the role of Ethiopia in medieval history, the magic gates of Alexander the Great and Alexander’s connection to Ethiopia and the apocalypse, hybridity and we also hint at the symbolism of the US, in particular the Lincoln Memorial.

0:00.0	This is Jonathan Peugeot. Welcome to the symbolic world. So hello everybody. I am back here with Richard Rowland.
0:29.3	Everybody has been really excited about our last discussion on Ethiopia.
0:33.3	I've been surprised to see how fast it's been growing on the channel.
0:37.1	It seems like it's such a, it's kind of an obscure subject, but it actually seems to be
0:41.6	touching on a lot of aspects of this reenchantment and mystery, you know, and a different
0:47.0	way of seeing people's other world, which I find very exciting.
0:50.0	And so I'm really looking forward to seeing what Richard has in store for us.
0:53.7	And I have a few things in my, up my sleeve as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Richard has in store for us. And I have a few things up my sleeve as well.
0:57.9	I just have to say I've gotten more, I mean, I don't do nearly as much stuff on the
1:03.0	internet as you do.
1:04.2	But I've gotten more positive feedback on that Ethiopia video than I've ever gotten

1:25.8	So it's been, it's been, you know, a lot of, a lot of love from some of my, my, my, my, my Ethiopian and Eritrean friends over the video.
1:34.3	So I'm really, really pleased about that. Like I said, I, I told you this a minute ago, but like I was pretty sure this is the video that was going to get me canceled. So I've been really encouraged to see so much support for it.
1:45.9	Yeah, but I think it was transparent for a lot of people to see just the enthusiasm we have about Ethiopian culture.
1:52.5	And, you know, also this kind of surprise that we have that nobody knows about it and this desire to help people see the kind of pearl that's hidden there in northern
2:02.8	Africa. For most of us, you know, we don't, we don't, we don't, a lot of people don't know
2:06.3	about it, but it definitely is a pearl. Well, so this, this actually, I mean, this will be a good
