The story is written and rewritten

Places change, stories change and protagonists also change.

Kamal Salibi, the contemporary Lebanese academic, had the courage to confront the prevailing religious dogmas by radically rethinking the old biblical stories on solid documentary bases. The dissemination of his books has been hampered or censured by the ecclesiastical authorities of various tendencies.
According to Salibi, the sacred lands of the old testament officially located in Palestine were in reality in the Assir, the Hejaz and the Nejd of Arabia.
The Jesus, son of Mary and Joseph, who revere Christians can be the Issa bin Maryam of the Koran whose remains would rest near Medina in Arabia. Or maybe he is a preacher descendant of Issa bin Maryam who came from Arabia at the beginning of the Christian era.
The Kebra Negast, the sacred book of the Ethiopian church, complements these interpretations. According to Ethiopian traditions, the Ark of the Covenant resides in the ancient city of Axum from the time of King Solomon and Queen Makeda. Almost a millennium ago, Lalibela, the Ethiopian king who ruled as successor to the ancient Solomonic dynasty, created a replica of Jerusalem in his native country that still exists and is recognized as such, including temples carved into the rock.
We are also referring to the supposed tomb of the Apostle Santiago in Compostela in the northwest of Spain, to which pilgrims march annually for more than ten centuries. According to Miguel de Unamuno and others this tomb would actually contain the remains of the Galician bishop Priscillian who preached and lived in the third century in the Iberian Peninsula. He was considered a heretic and executed by the religious and political authorities of the time.
On the other side of the ocean, in the south of America, José de San Martín, the hero of the Argentine nation and liberator of Chile and Peru, has been presented as a typical Spanish white, with a clear complexion and a European presence. Today there are elements to affirm its Guaraní origin that is denied in the official Argentine history. San Martin claimed his Indian roots in words and deeds on numerous occasions.
The journey of another Guarani mestizo, Don Francisco de los Santos, from Corrientes to Rio de Janeiro in 1820 to rescue his comrades prisoners across thousands of kilometers is an example of adherence to the federal artiguist cause and persistence in the effort.
In the 1970s, in the midst of the Somoza dictatorship, the Nicaraguan priest Ernesto Cardenal imagined a gospel of the poor in the lake archipelago of Solentiname. After the Nicaraguan social revolution the community of Solentiname stopped working actively.
Long before, in the sixteenth century, Michelangelo Buonarroti had the audacity to sculpt a statue of David naked in Renaissance Italy pacata and conservative. The religious fundamentalists addicted to the friar Savonarola stoned the image and the representatives of the Papacy criticized it.
During the last two centuries in various parts of the world, men with imagination and decision produced technological developments that changed history, Innocenzo Manzetti, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Alva Edison and Steve Jobs among others dared to challenge the prevailing logic and created objects that transformed life forms on a planetary level.
At the other extreme of the social and cultural complexities we decided to mark the cultural contrasts narrating the adventures of Gixau, a! Kung San who traveled from the Namib desert to the great cities of South Africa and Hong Kong. Through this story, the experiences of a person who seeks to decode the patterns of technological societies from the simple perspective of an ancient traditional society are shown.
 All these stories express the potential of human actions and imagination to modify sites, environments and existences. These capacities, for better or for worse, voluntarily or unconsciously, shaped the prolonged and multigenerational journey of millions of women and men who inhabited the planet since the time of our oldest ancestors.
Human evolution is not over yet. Maybe it's just beginning. Cultures are the reflection of a prolonged accumulation of experiences. Our function is to be one more link in this chain of lives and generations. We will be remembered for a few years or centuries. The contemporary page of the palimpsest of history will be gradually erased. With time we will only remain as a tiny particle in the social and cultural flow of the civilizations of the future.
