A dance track. The title is named after the Athenians. The Athenians are the descendants of the founding mother Athena or Athene or Nike. She is called the Patron Goddess of the city of Athens for her role in cultivating the Olive Tree, which was a staple for economic growth. Anthropologist believe the gods and goddesses of polytheistic religions are derived from ancestor worship. The American White House on Capital Hill was designed after Athena's Temple on the Hill of the Acropolis. The significance of Athens is that it is the birth place of Western civilization and more specifically, Western Democracy. Where laws of a city are influenced by the people in the city, rather than the people being subject under a King or Dictator.

Athenian Uprise

Soft R&B. The title is named after an incredible point in human history. The Fertile Crescent is in modern day Iraq between two rivers. Scientist and archaeologist have pin pointed this to be the place where humans learned to farm and this gave life to the first city. Followed were the civilizations to the East, India and China, and adjacent the great civilizations of Egypt, and then shortly later to the West which would become the Greeks. For cities and the written word, it all started in the Fertile Crescent. It is believed to to be The Garden of Eden which the Hebrews recorded in their holy book. Abraham, founder of Hebrew-Israelite-Jewish traditions, was from one of the cities in the Fertile Crescent known as Ur. Today, it looks like a desert from google maps, but more than 5,000 years ago that desert that stretches from Iraq  through Northern Africa was as lush and green as the American Mid West. America's Mid West underground aquifers are calculated to dry up in the next 100 years.
