Deaf history commentary: In the timeline of the myth, chapter three (Yairusaylim) is when we began to have preserved or handed down information about the deaf in the past. The first two chapters of the DC myth belong to the primaevel mist of time. The third chapter is less murky with some information from humanity’s sacred literatures. The Bible, Koran, Scriptures, and the Talmud - before Greece and Rome in the next clip, 03.09.

To viewers, You may notice the fluctuations of commentaries in the past clips/posts. In my filing cabinet, there s writing and art work from myself and high school/university students who used this myth to study deaf history and deaf studies. I would love to retype or scan them and insert them in each post with corresponding clips. With a full time job and a family to attend to, there is not enough time to work on my blogs. Bear with me and the myth. With Father time, eventually the myth will be all posted, done sometimes in mid to late 2008. I hope to post the last clip of chapter 11 (when it is the Present) during the protest at Milwaukee. We will see. Thank you for your time here. Happy New Year.
