A sexless god, Atum, though supreme, was unable to control Ra, Thoth, and the seven other sexual gods. With Atumic frustration Atum confined the sexual gods to the Solar System, but with a dire warning: if their activities destabilized the Cosmos they would feel the full force of Atumic wrath. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSibling squabbles between Ra and Thoth spawned endless conflict. Fear for their godly survival forced Ra and Thoth to confine their fight to the Earthly environment. One outcome: Homo Saps, a unique species combining Thought-processing with godlike features and hominid-animal sexuality. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBoth Ra and Thoth used Homo Saps as foot soldiers. Thoth invented Information Technology\/Information System or ITIS (pronounced ‘eye-tis) tools as weapons to help them free themselves from Ra’s inhibiting controls. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHomo Saps used the ITIS tools in establishing, controlling and stabilizing the first Earthly civilizations: Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Ancient India, and Ancient China at the direction of the gods. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHomo Saps’ increasing skills with the ITIS tools allowed them to develop independent Thought processing and break free of godly controls. The Ancient Greek Homo Sap Aristotle and his philosopher predecessors captured the moment by developing their own ITIS applications and demonstrated Homo Saps’ Thought processing freedoms. They developed the first user-friendly ITIS tool that would change their Earthly reality forever: the 22-letter alphabet. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDear Jim: Our History of IT IS\u003c\/i\u003e traces the development of the ITIS tools OralITIS, ImageITIS, CalendarITIS, WritingITIS, and AlphabetITIS and their impact on civilizations before the death of Aristotle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143203307760,"sku":"9781450286091","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781450286091_p0.jpg?v=1763837304","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781450286091","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
