| Your comment about history and salt isn't accurate. They didn't salt the earth to purify it in any good sense of the word. They did it for one of two (theoretical) generally-accepted reasons: to keep anything from growing (salt inhibits plant growth, but it would have been difficult historically to get that much salt into a field) or to do the same thing on a symbolic level. It's mostly seen as a way of "cursing" anybody who dares to try to rebuild once a town has been razed - their fields are hexed from ever bearing fruit again. | |
