While I was watching the History Channel today, and there was a show on about the moon. There were experts discussing the origins of Luna, and how it came to look as it does, explaining how the Luna Maria were formed. There's a theory that if the impact craters on the Dark Side of Luna, that look like a "Man In the Moon" were facing the Earth, there would be a very different mythology/development of our history.

The Eye of Heaven or Mare Occiduus (The Western Sea) has always faced us, in many ancient cultures it was proof that the supernatural existed. I mean to this day people still say "The Moon Watches You" which of course parents have used to scare children across the world.

I think we would have a similar culture to what we have now, the Three Pillars of Abraham (Moses, Yeshua and Muhammad) might not be the world's largest religion. Perhaps Zentao or Confucian-Hindu would be more popular, but that might be ASB, athiesm might have a larger graps on the population as well.

What do you think?

(Yes Hendryk, I know how supportive you are of Western relgions, we know how much the Asian Philosophies get on your nerves.;))
