The
Minneapolis Star Tribune referred to the Goddess,
Ceres, as the “Roman corn goddess,” implying Indo-European ownership of
the
Aboriginal Indigenous food crop which the Euro-Americans call “corn.” The Romans built a temple to Ceres in 496
B.C. Neither the Romans nor any other
Europeans saw “corn,” (Mandoomin, aka Zea mays L.) until nearly
two
thousand years later, when sailors operating under Spanish sovereignty
tried to
steal two continents that did not belong to them in the name of an
alien “God.”
