[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Yeah, I wouldn't read too much into the numbers, it's Galactica, not "The Da Vinci Code". A while ago I tried lining up each of the 12 Cylons to represent each of the 12 Lords of Kobol/Olympian Gods AND a sign of the Zodiac that represents the colonies, to little avail. Though ironically I did place Tigh as Cronus and left Hera as the final Cylon, whomever that would be. Since it's Ellen I think there's something appropriately messed up about that pairing. Getting back to the 13th tribe; after having another look at the [url=http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Timeline (RDM)]timeline[/url] it seams increasingly likely that it was in fact the Lords of Kobol who bombed Earth out of existence since it happened at the same time that the other 12 tribes were leaving Kobol for the first time, amidst a schism between the Gods themselves. Still, a part of me likes to think that colonial history has been skewed and that Earth is the origin of humanity and Kobol is the colony. Perhaps at some point all the humans on Earth died off, leaving behind only Cylons or Cylons from Kobol (either exiled or escapees) later recolonised the deserted world only to get nuked out of existence by Kobol, which had by then come to believe itself superior in some way. The fact that the so called Gods were mortal (Athena topped herself) points to the "Lords" being actual humans, descended from Earth and the "human followers" that were the Colonial's ancestors are a more refined/easier to control form of Cylon. It actually makes more and more sense that this is all taking place in our distant future when you factor in the use of the Roman alphabet and Arabic numerals, the vehicles, weapons (including flit-locks) as well as the co-existence of the Roman and Greek words and names. It's as if the "Gods" patterned their Kobol civilisation after ancient mythology, setting themselves up as Gods with the intent of keeping control of their slave population. [/QB][/QUOTE]
