What we don’t know we either hate or worship! How strange this is, yet for eons this has been true. I was making a crossword puzzle, using the concept of heaven and how oddly this place-space-destination-resting spot-culmination-equilizer-paradise concept has changed over time. I ran onto the concept of JNN or jinn or jinni or anglicized as genie, and found this gorgeous page from a manuscript.  The jinn were important god-like beings at one point near pre-history but were demoted to human like then smaller and smaller unknown forces for events and ailments that were not understood.  All dentists will totally love this image of two teeth, with the pulp and root canals occupied by jinn….  causing a tooth ache.

As soon as the elements causing teeth to rot and die and ache, jinn went on to become some other force, no longer hated nor worshiped.  We are a strange species at best. Thank you wikipedia.
