Thank you for the compliment Damocles. I do appreciate it. I'm glad my ideas could be a source of inspiration for you or anyone else for that matter. As someone who has read some of your posts, I have come to respect your opinions and this means a great deal to me.

Now that makes a great deal of sense BST.
Looking from the 12 tribes POV. They may have viewed the 13th as foolhearty and were more than accommodating in allowing the 13th to leave and in so doing, ridding themselves of a group that was such a pain in the astrum. Over time, this story could have evolved into a fairytale or fable of sorts.
I am curious about one thing. (I know...just one?
) In "Lost Planet of the Gods", Adama is reading the tablet in the tomb of the 9th LoK. It states the course the 13th took and then it shatters when the Cylons attack. I wonder what the rest of the tablet said. Did it give the reason why the 13th left and Adama just hadn't gotten to that part yet? I'm wondering if he had read it before the tablet broke, could that information have affected Adama's viewpoint concerning Earth and it being humanities salvation if the info was unfavorable? Just a thought.
