tcm: this was also done by me, but the stupid computer logged me out.
Baba Iaga: Ikkulu... that's someone I haven't thought of in a long time. Have the octopuses come back? Nevermind, I don't really care. We differed in our choices, she and I. When the octopuses came last, she was busy running around everywhere trying to stop them with the boy king. She traded a lot for that abilty. She was searching the three continents for things that she needed. These things may not have been available then, but they're probably available now. In fact, they may even be commonplace and right under your noses. This may be why she failed in her quest. She lacked an element to insure her success.

Baba Iaga most likely stayed neutral in the war with the octopuses, a position also taken by the Morkoth, if I recall.
According to Ikulu's Lament the octopuses did not come while she was running around with Alexander. She claims that she did not defeat them because she could not find them, and that she doesn't know who did the last time around. This raises the possibility of yet another defeat, invisible to both us and Ikkulu, about which we know nothing, creating a timeline like this:
World begins as an Ocean Octopuses defeated the first(?) time (Marduk defeats Tiamat with a spear) The Deluge Octopuses defeated the second time (Zeus defeats the Titans with a lightning bolt) Ikkulu tries to unite humanity with Alexander Octopuses defeated the third(?) time (according to Baba Iaga) Rise of Monotheism NOW (old ways returning)
If Baba Iaga is correct, and the Octopuses were defeated a third time, but not by Ikkulu, who managed to do it and how? The crucifixion of Christ would most obviously tie in... but how?
Further, if what Ikkulu needed wasn't available when she was looking, but is now, what changed?
Could the 'element' she needed be the words of power to which she refers in her Lament? Or was she wrong?
Of course, if Baba Iaga, in referring to '*the* three continents' demonstrates ignorance of the New World, there may be much even she doesn't know. Or is wrong about.
