Can we stop and read please?
Honestly, it bothers me that this is something taken for granted when it is a lie or worse, carelessness on the part of certain readers.
"so why weren't they chosen?"The First chapter of APOC as the answer in 2 points:
1) Arrogance, this are the god's of the Firsts chapters of ROR, Those who underestimated humans, who did not know about the Volund, who never lost, Zeus didn't choose "the best" for him this Is a FEAST
2) Precaution, Just read the 6th and 7th slide
