In the Middle Ages it was not uncommon to regard the drawing and illustrating of geographical maps as something akin to an opportunity to school the observer in theological and philosophical doctrine. Such can for example be seen in the highly symbolic tripartition often found on orb of the Globus Cruciger: Europe, Asia, and Africa. This tripartition references not only at once the trinity, but also the Three Kings, who came to Christ to pay the great monarch homage. One king for each each of the three Great spaces. It was furthermore believed that the three sons of Noah, Sem (Asia), Ham (Africa), Japhet (Europe), were the progenitors of the peoples living within those respective territories.
The illustration is drawn up by St. Isidore of Seville.

Let's strip away the bullshit.
A hairless and near senseless animal has no fear-inducing physiological power. Being able to lift 10% of an ape and having 1% of its natural killing power will never be an achievement.
Take the Epimethean Pill.

Anyone who disputes this just needs to read the ancient training manuals for war. They trained through hunting because animals present natural danger, higher instincts. Man training against man can only be an art form or decadence.

"The state bears the expense of the hunting for the reason that the training it gives seems to be the best preparation for war itself. For it accustoms them to rise early in the morning and to endure both heat and cold, and it gives them practice in taking long tramps and runs, and they have to shoot or spear a wild beast whenever it comes in their way. And they must often whet their courage when one of the fierce beasts shows fight; for, of course, they must strike down the animal that comes to close quarters with them, and they must be on their guard against the one that threatens to attack them. In a word, it is not easy to find any quality required in war that is not required also in the chase."

"It has been told that there was seen a picture of two devout / ancient philosophers in a mosque. One of them (that is Plato) was holding a scroll in his hand on which it was written: “If you have mastered everything, do not think that you have mastered a thing, until you know God (may He be exalted!) and know that He is the Cause of causes and the Originator of all things”. And in the hand of the other (that is Aristotle) [there was a scroll]: “Before I knew God (may He be exalted!), I would drink and still be thirsty, until I came to know Him, and my thirst was quenched without drinking."

The most intelligent men like the strongest find their happiness where others would find only disaster, in the labyrinth in being hard with themselves and with others, in effort their delight is self-mastery, in them asceticism becomes second nature, a necessity an instinct.

"The stars incline the will but in no wise necessitate it. Frequently it comes to pass that astrologers foretell truths concerning the manner of men by reason of their proneness to follow the sensitive appetite... By this means it comes to pass, that he who knows the virtues of the Signs and the Planets therein placed, may foretell, if he knows when any creature is born, of the whole life of it."

"...in the Hindu sacred epics and purānas (popular tellings of ancient lore), the number of years reckoned to the present cycle of time, the so-called Kali Yuga, is 432,000; the number reckoned to the "great cycle" (mahāyuga) within which this yuga falls being 4,320,000. But then reading one day in the Icelandic Eddas, I discovered that in Othin's (Wotan's) warrior hall, Valhöll, there were 540 doors, through each of which, on the "Day of the Wolf" (that is to say, at the end of the present cycle of time), there would pass 800 divine warriors to engage the anti-gods in a battle of mutual annihilation. 800x540=432,000. And so I asked myself how it might ever have come to pass that in tenth-to-thirteenth century Iceland the same number of years were reckoned to the present cycle of time as in India." - Joseph Campbell (The Inner Reaches of Outer Space: Metaphor as Myth and as Religion, P.35)

"See the Creator of man made man in order that he who governs the world of the stars might suck milk, that bread might be hungry, that the fount might be thirsty, that light might go to sleep, that the way might be tired by the trip, that Truth might be accused by false witnesses, and that the judge of the living and the dead might be examined by a temporal judge and that justice might be condemned by the unjust. That discipline might be lashed by a whip, that the bunch of grapes might be crowned with thorns, that the foundation stone might be hung on a tree, that virtue might become weak, health wounded, and life itself might die."

"The peculiar quality of the ‘joy’ in successful Fantasy can thus be explained as a sudden glimpse of the underlying reality or truth…But in the “eucatastrophe” we see in a brief vision that the answer may be greater—it may be a far off gleam or echo of evangelium in the real world…it has long been my feeling (a joyous feeling) that God redeemed the corrupt making-creatures, men, in a way fitting to this aspect, as to others, of their strange nature. The Gospels contain a fairy-story, or a story of a larger kind which embraces all the essence of fairy-stories." - J.R.R. Tolkien, On Fairystories.

Asha Logos highlights the work of the secret societies behind the most defining moment of the devolution into modernity. A small number of cosmopolitan figures coordinated behind the scenes to seize upon populist sentiments of the unwitting masses. Those peasants of the proud empire of the Franks, and most of the historical record with them, were convinced that they themselves overthrew the Ancien Régime of the Church and Crown and took its power for themselves. In reality what seized power was not merely democratic but downright demonic, and more deliberate than any mob could be. It cannot be understated how much this moment represents a complete break from the traditional world. One only need look at the current state of things to recognize what forces took power then and how well they have expanded their Régime Satanique since.
'The French Revolution represents at once a fundamental shift towards modernity and an irrevocable loss of medieval materiality. Mobs burst into the monastery, cathedral, parish church, castle, or palace, dragged the manunoscripts out of the armoires where they had been stored for centuries, piled them in a mound in a public place, and lit the patrimony of the nation on fire. From the ashes modernity arose, but at a cost.'
