[Highlander II]

okay -- back to the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse and away from Methos' boxer shorts -- (we can start a whole separate thread for that) ---


anyone have any ideas??? how did they get started? who or what convinced them to split??? (did we cover this??)

 

[markpud]

i think we have convered it yes (and no I'm not still referring to the boxer shorts )

 

[Highlander II]

ok - so we probably did cover that stuff --

we can cover it again ----

or, someone can come up w/ something else -----

 

[Highlander II]

any other theories on the Horsemen??

 

[Dru]

Ok here's a topic I read about on the Highlander fourm on another board


Were Methos and the Horsemen the _Real_ Horsemen the ones in the Bible? or did they here storys about the ones in the Bible and base them selfs one them?

 

[Diamond9697]

well they couldn't have based it on the Bible stories because they were around 1000 years before Christ and I don't think the Horseman were mentioned until the book of Revelations which is the last book of the Bible and written after Christ rose.

yeah - i agree w/ Dia - that 'our' 4 Horsemen aren't based on the bible stories --

and somehow, i get the feeling they may have been named sometime AFTER they disbanded -- you know - like in history - they name stuff after it happens (well, now they name it WHEN it happens b/c of media and such) -- but like when ppl were fighting during what we call the 'War of the Roses' - the ppl weren't runnin' around going - 'Hey, how's the war of the roses going?' -

so - maybe they referred to themselves as the 4 horsemen, but the 'of the apocolypse' part came later --

or - there is another 'myth' about 4 horsemen that inspired the stories in the Bible (depends on how you read the Bible - i'm not stepping on anyone's religion here) ---

it's all up in the air -

good question, Dru!!

 

[Diamond9697]

good point...I can see Kronos finding out about the Bible story and naming them after the fact

 

[Highlander II]

or someone else, someone doing history - maybe a watcher - reads the Bible and feels the title fits appropriately -

but - ppl did know about the "Horsemen" - b/c - if you remember that medicine man that was teaching Cassandra - in response to her question about who these men in masks were - he said "The Horsemen"

not specific, just 'the horsemen' - so maybe these ppl assumed there were more than 4, or just referred to them as the 'horsemen' b/c they rode horses (duh) and terrorized tribes -

just more threories and observations
