As long as the human species and their evolutionary progeny are in any way connected to the earth, there will be mythology and iconography centered upon our planet.Pro Libertate Patriae wrote:When has the Earth not been the icon for mythology? Have we not been inspired by the Earth since the begining even though we had no idea how large and magnificent it really was at the time? What would be after that the whole universe?Samarra wrote: Artists in space? What a great way to awaken the mythological mind of humanity.

The effects wrought by the industrial revolution have provoked her to the point where catastrophic global climate chaos could occur within 10-30 years.
