| I don't think the Book of Pythia and the Sacred Scrolls are the same thing. Pythia wrote 3,600 years ago, while the Sacred Scrolls were ''finished'' as late as 2,000 years ago, because they talk about the Exodus that occured then. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 11:20, 7 July 2006 (CDT) | | I don't think the Book of Pythia and the Sacred Scrolls are the same thing.

| :Then we should cut out the opening of [[Sacred Scrolls]] where it says:
| |
| :"Most notable among the Sacred Scrolls is the Book of Pythia, also referred to as the Pythian Prophecy. Written 3,600 years ago by the oracle Pythia, they are believed by some to foretell the current exodus from the Twelve Colonies."

| :That's why I put them there (that, and because there wasn't a "Book of Pythia" article). I almost put it on "Pythia", but that's the prophet, not the book. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:37, 7 July 2006 (CDT)

| :::[[BW:CITE]] to the rescue. I've got no idea. But that article currently very much equates the two. Also... most of the article is under a "header" of "Book of Pythia", but since it is a 3rd level header it's not very clear that is the case. Hopefully somebody familiar with the specific quotes, etc. can weigh in? --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:00, 7 July 2006 (CDT)

| ::::I mean my big point is that the Sacred Scrolls describe the Exodus 2,000 years ago, but the "Book of Pythia" is from 3,600 years ago....could the Sacred Scrolls individually have been written over many generations, like the Bible?--[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 12:02, 7 July 2006 (CDT)

| :::::The current interpretation of the article appears to go with that more "inclusive" way of thinking. If you limited the scope of the sacred scrolls to the account of the Exodus... we'd need a separate article for the stuff that was written way back before then. We should probably move this over to Talk:Sacred Scrolls.--[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:11, 7 July 2006 (CDT)
