Always had trouble with pronouncing the names of the gods. Thank you Kelly for your presentation. I now have a mentor. Love your language articulation and your happy demeanor.
I’d be an Aphrodite follower, because she is the oldest deity amongst all of them and she was present before Greek Mythology. She’s not just the goddess of beauty and love but also the goddess of life force and protector of the heavens. (Known as Astarte, Inanna, Ishtar and Venus) Even in Greek Mythology there were three different depictions of her. In one of them she was depicted as a war goddess but I suppose Greeks had one too many of those. She was known as Aphrodite Urania, (Which symbolised pure love, it was a little infused with Christianity views and ripped her off her sexual side.) Aphrodite Pandemos; the goddess of the people and Aphrodite Areia; the war goddess. But most of all I would follow Aphrodite because she is the only female Greek goddess that is bound by her own choices, she doesn’t turn herself into a religious virgin figure to prove her purity, neither does she agree to sit and wait to be pursued and forcefully married. She makes her own choices, guided by her own emotions. She’s a free woman and a free goddess. To me Aphrodite is the most noble goddess regarding female independence.
Aphrodite does not come before Greek myth. That would mean Uranus came before Greek mythology. Everything in the origins stories are a part of the mythology. If we're talking about reality and not myth, much of the gods originate from Mesopotamia and Anatolia and were adapted by the Greeks to fit their world.
@@SpencerTaylorOnline Myths are supposed to follow reality. They are folktales told and told again to keep culture alive. If this aspect of Myths didn’t exist anyone could go up to Wikipedia and create a new Myth and it would be valid. As a polytheist witch I understand this connection between Myth and reality and encourage the awareness of it.
He also treats his wife persephone well (apart from the whole kidnapping thing but you can't judge the past by the morals of the present), and cerberus means spotted, so he even has a dog called spot 😊
I'm an amateur astronomer and the connection between mythology and the celestial bodies and constellations always fascinated me. One thing that confuses me is the Greek gods that are usually related to the Sun and the Moon. If Apollo and Artemis are related to those, where Helios and Selene fit in the history? Are they in another category of beings?
Yes. Selene and Helios are third generation Titans, and In some myths, the personification of the Sun and Moon as opposed to simply beings responsible for them. Helios and Selene originally had the role of riding the chariot carrying the sun and the moon, but lost popularity over time, and the roles were given to Artemis and Apollo.
The Titans are the personification so Helios and Selene is the sun and moon respectively. Apollo symbolizes the light of the sun and Artemis symbolizes the light of the moon.
Very nice! In particular I love the nonchalant scarf. Dionysus is my kind of guy. Thank you. I wandered onto here as a result of watching Great Mythologies of the World (Great Courses). Revelatory!
Fascinating video! I've always been interested in mythology, since I was a child. Looks like absolute power corrupts absolutely. These God's seem to be moral lessons in and of themselves.
Thank you, Kelly, for yet another marvelous video. My college education was in Ancient History, Greek and Latin. And although my thesis was on the war-torn Iliad, my deity is definitely Hestia, the peaceful, loving godess of hearth and home. And as I type this, her statue stands next to my laptop.
I've always had a liking for Athena. Maybe she has a penchant for pettiness, such as the story with Arachne, but she is still a very interesting figure.
If you are reading Ovid's version of the Arachne story, then Athena seems petty. The original Greek myth had kept intact Athena's usually reasonable demeanor.
Pbbbft> Poseidon was only known as the "Bringer of Storms" because of the agricultural importance of water! ..and how that old nice guy knew when a storm was... approaching. Anyone feel the air get colder?
🦉 Thank you for the informative video! The antics of the Olympian gods seem like something human beings would be capable of: jealousy, envy, lust, justice, bravery, compassion - I am not in a position to judge the gods, after all, I am but a human… In the video, you did mention that the gods have human-like qualities, or was it that the humans have godlike qualities? ;) Anyway, being rational, resourceful, and applying one’s wits to solve any problem is really kool. Without a doubt, I’d choose Pallas Athena as my patron goddess.
I love this video. And of course I love the Ancient Greek Mythology. And I'd choose the one and only Poseidon - I even consider Him to be my Father!!! ;)
I’ve discovered that tropes from Greek mythology can be found in the Bible. For instance, Prometheus’s punishment for helping humans was being hung from a rock and having an eagle eat his liver from the right side of his body. Likewise, a similar trope was used in the story of Jesus. Being hung from a cross then being pierced in n the right side (the liver) by a Roman guard represented by the eagle. The Egypto-Greco-Roman literary influence is massive!
World History Encyclopedia Hello! I got this crazy idea for an art project called 12 Gods. The idea is to break Capitalism/Consumerism into 12 distinct characters as an adaptation of the Ancient Greek myths. Looks like Hermes is the best archetype. But it's the interactions between the gods and the narratives they create that has the most appeal to me. Thanks!
Very interesting. DM Murdock (aka Acharya S) was a brilliant American woman who went to Greece with her Psychologist Dad in childhood and was fascinated with Greek lore. She had a working knowledge of 11 languages and wrote many books. I would term her as an Agricultural Astro-Theologian. Look her up. Her first book THE CHRIST CONSPIRACY, THE GREATEST STORY EVER SOLD and I learned about her from Peter Joseph's great movie. Zeitgeist. The first 29 minutes of Zeitgeist is based on her work with Astro-Theology. She proved, hook, line and sinker that ALL Religions are pure Myth, based on the Adoration of the Sun and the alignment of the planets and stars. Naturally she was attacked by not only Christians but by die-hard Atheists. Go figure. She died very young at the age of 55.
Why the lightning? Why the supreme god of Olympus Zeus had for weapons and attributes the lightning which is far from being the most fearsome natural phenomenon, the most destructive and the most powerful? Why are the thunderbolts of Zeus forged by the Cyclops, and why do the Cyclops have only one eye? What if all this is the poetic description of our consciousness and our nervous system? What if lightning is the tool of Zeus not as a weapon of destruction but for another reason and particularity ? Basing on that Zeus in his kingdom is our consciousness in our body, this is how we could interpret it: According to the Myth, especially in Hesiod, the three Cyclops brothers (thunder, lightning and thunderbolt) were already there long before the arrival of Zeus, they were among the first Titans child of Ouranos and Gaia, just like the nervous system that is already starting to develop in the fetus still in the womb. The cyclops symbolize the nervous system with all that accompanies it, the 5 senses, the instinct and the reflexes that manifest themselves and interact instantaneously at the speed of lightning (this is why the cyclops are lightning smiths) and always in the only instinctive and natural way (this is why they have only one eye symbolizing the only natural and instinctive way and vision to act and react). With the arrival of Zeus (the conscience) the cyclops allied with him in the titanomachy by providing him with lightning to take over and control over the whole kingdom, this symbolizes the consciousness of the child who takes control over his body by learning to manipulate with his hands, with his feet to stand up and walk, talk, ... etc. But Zeus shares control of the kingdom: To Poseidon he cedes the oceans, the seas and the rivers, Poseidon is our heart which functions independently of our consciousness by circulating the rivers, the seas and the oceans of our blood in our body. To Hades he cedes the bowels and depths of the kingdom, Hades symbolizes our intestines that also function independently of our consciousness. Interesting and mysterious coincidence, the functioning of the brain and all the nervous system is electrical impulses (micro lightning) =) Zeus controls the kingdom with lightning as we control our body with electric impulses =) Or this is not a coincidence!? =)
Now, my favorite god would be hacate, but i have a few favorites... My favorites are hecate, nemesis,ares, and Artemis. Hecate is very powerful, even though she isnt a olympian. She is the goddes of magic, witchCraft, necromancy, the light, the moon, and is very strongly associated with the crossRoads. Nemesis is the goddess of revenge, but she also is not a olympian. This is because she is a minor god. Ares, Ares is the god of war, seeing as im a aries, i get in alot of fights everywhere i go, he is one of my favorites. I also like Rtemis, she is the giddess of the hunt, child birth, the moon, vegetation, and many others. I like her because she can shapeshift, she loves animals, and many others...wait..i forgot 2 more. Hades and hestia. I really like hades, mostly because i love mythology, gjosts, witcges, anything to do with greek mythology or holloween..he is the god of the underworld..he can also cause earthquakes.his dog, Cerberus, is a three headed dog that is huge. He is also the maker of the kraken. Hestia: hestia is the goddess of the home, the hearth, and the goddess of cooking. I love food...soooooo... While those are my favorites, my least favourites is hera and zeus. Zeus is a man whøre. And hera, she threw hephaestus OFF MOUNT OLYMPUS. :
Iphigenia is almost always depicted as being sacrificed to the gods so that the Greeks would regain the winds and could sail for Troy. I'm curious where you guys found a story that depicts her as being saved by Artemis? Do you have a link to it? I would love to check that out. Of course, there are many contradictory accounts of Greek myths!
If the god and goddess have new generation student they name will be different and a little bit close to they goddess and God titles. They can be demigods and demigoddess.👍🙏
Minthe is a Naiad who was turned into a mint plant by either Persephone or Demeter, when she said that she was better than the Goddess of the Underworld (Persephone). Although, as with most myths, there are a number of different versions of this myth.
Athena and Ares always find a way back to each other so could we agree at least agree to be less heliocentric? We should decree, Uranus is god of the heavens' while Gaia is of the earths'!
It's interesting i think it blends art and real events that started at 242k bce... periodic cataclysms on earth cause memory loss through the trauma associated...and this is a way to recall the events without the experience of the psychological trauma. Rudolf Steiner said the Greek post Atlantean epoch was the greatest and has no parallel. I think that means the Greek Epoch was the height of white supremacy and it has been declining ever since then.
What a coincidence, these twelve Olympians became the 12 sons of Jacob (Saturn). The Latin Terra, somehow, became the Hebrew Terah, father of Abram (spring), Haran (summer), and Nahor (winter). Stranger still, is the same three sons are also Shem (winter), Japheth (spring), and Ham (summer). The miracles never cease, for the three daughters of Job (Earth) are the same three seasons. The Latin Fortuna, became Gad, a son of Jacob (Saturn). Asher, another son, who is the Penis (upright/strong/righteous) and rock that begat thee, had a wife called Asherah (Vagina). Jacob made a terrible mistake by wresting with god (his genitals) and becoming a Eunuch. This required that Rachel had to call upon god, the Phallus, to get impregated with Benjamin (Libra). Rachel (Virgo constellation) wanted to name this son Ben Oni which means son of the right testicle. Abraham (who like Zeus, as a baby, was nursed by a goat and bee goddess) overruled Rachel (Virgo) and named him Ben Jamin or son of the right side. Now we all know that the right side is the good side as it represents summer and crop production (six days in Gen 1). The left side is another matter, as this side represents winter and the period of non crop production (six nights in Gen 1) and is represented by the left testicle (Hoa/Hea). The two testifiers are Oni on the Right and Hoa on the left. The rod/staff just above these twins is called Asher. With these twins he gets the sign Gemini, which is also Philadelphia. How about the Golden Ram, of Greek myth, that became the Ram that Abraham sacrificed? This same Ram is still in the Heavens as the Aries constellation which is also the constellation of Gad, who was borrowed from Latin myth. Here we have Benjamin (Libra) and Gad (Aries) what a pair they make! I'll bet some pick up on the word Hoa which comes the Greek word for water an naturally the Moon. Take a look at the words Medad and Eldad and Moses. The Mo in Moses is Egyptian for WATER. Moses can be spelled as Meses, Mises, and Muses. Back to Medad = two words of water + lover = Libra and Eldad aka El (Ram) + dad/lover = Aries. Moses is a pesonifcation of the man with the water pot (Aquarius constellation). Moses like, Ganymede, was so beautiful that Zeus fell head over heels in love with him and transformed himself into an Eagle (Aquila constell) and carried him (Aquarius) to the top of Mount Olympus (Exodus 19.4). Moses/Ganymede was the boy/toy of Zeus and with his "water pot" was the "cup bearer" to the gods. Let's hope Moses/Ganyemede has plenty of vaseline to lubricate his rear "doorway to heaven."
Here's an interesting topic. Was Jesus the son of Metis, wife of Zeus? If you read the myth about Zeus and Metis, Zeus was always fearful of Metis having a son who dethrone Zeus. Zeus swallowed Metis to keep Metis from having a son that but resulted in Athena emerging from Zeus forehead. What if Metis didn't have a son with Zeus, but kept the seed hidden and secret until a time she could plant the seed in Mary, Mother of Jesus? The myth does kinda fit together, either Mary was able to reproduce internally without male interaction or the 'light' came into Mary that Metis had seeded Mary with. The fact that a country wide hunt for the "Son of God" took place after rumor had it that an extraordinary birth outside the realm had taken place. A birth that would topple the old religions. In this case "God" could have been a veiled name given to Zeus, an etherical shield, where the manhunt for the Son of God or Zeus as matter of fact, ended up with turmoil being created across the land in the form of the first born son of each home being taken and cast out of life. Turmoil that saw the greatness of Rome, including Jupiter, King of Roman God's, who was a carry over from Greece, where Jupiter, like Zeus, who were both King of Gods, destroyed. Jupiter and Rome were set asunder after Jesus's birth and eventual crucifixion that does complete the story of Zeus' power being undone by a Son of Metis.
The mother of Dionysus is not pronounced Semeel. Her name is made up of three syllables, the Greek being Σεμέλη. This isn't the only video that gets it wrong.
The Greek pantheon was largely adopted from Phoenician pantheon. Zeus corresponds to Ba'al Hadad. Mt Olympia corresponds to Mt Sapan/jabal Aqra. In fact the Greek alphabet is adopted from the Phoenician alphabet. Even the idea of democratic city states was first in Phoenician cities.
Learn history my friend before you become a misinformer. Phoenicians were created by Greek Phoenix and ruled as Persia, Egypt and many other major cities all over the Mediterrenean sea by Greek Kings till Rome. Rome also created by a Troan (Greek). So it is wise to learn history if you want to assist instead of misguide people. As for the pantheon... well read above and you will learn the truth
@@murdochmclennan3510 Thanks for correcting me! 🙂 My english are so best very so sometimes yeah i dont have much time to check my spelling but thanks anyway. Corrected!
@@ΒαγγεληςΝοτης look up my claims for yourself. Compare the Greek Pantheon and "god cycle" with the Phoenicians, and Egyptians, and Sumerians. 1 to 1 correspondence. Even Plato's works were for Hellenic societies in relation to the more mature and declining Egyptian, Phoenican civilizations. Atlantis was an allegory for Hellenes about Egypt, Phoenicia, Mesopotamia
These 12 Olympian gods or nothing more than the 12 houses of the zodiac and the energies associated with each house be it of a higher frequency or lower
Last I've heard about Zeus and Poseidon, the former bodied some naked dude who had a thing for apples and the latter was chopped to bit by some Japanese dude.
Africa used to worship many gods but we abandoned them and embraced white man's gods which failed to solve our problems which means that time has come for man to abandon them and find another solution like science which can help him to solve his problems
All these gods are connected they just all have different names because once the Tower of Babel fell their was many languages this is all one time and place that’s why all the stories sound like they are stolen just a hidden ongoing story
Nietzsche ... "God is Dead" quote referencing consequences of the Enlightenment. Science is a form of religion resulting from the Age of Enlightenment transitioning cultural emphasis on rationality and science as a means of understanding the human condition. When reflecting on what "defines" a religion people thing of idols, ritual , place of worship, procedures of worship, method of salvation, etc. Putting science into that framework idols are easy enough to figure out (microscopes, etc. ), ritual/procedures of worship= scientific method, place of worship = labs and research organizations, method of salvation= our own intellect/repeatable results indicating evidence of results.,,, as you noted it will solve our problems. Arguably, science has caused as many problems as more "accepted" forms of religion. With that said, you are absolutely correct about accepting the anglo gods (i.e. modern science) yet science and a large number of our cultural components are middle eastern (northern Iraq/Syria) in origin. Hebrew text also was derived from there.

But Zeus shares control of the kingdom:
To Poseidon he cedes the oceans, the seas and the rivers, Poseidon is our heart which functions independently of our consciousness by circulating the rivers, the seas and the oceans of our blood in our body.
To Hades he cedes the bowels and depths of the kingdom, Hades symbolizes our intestines that also function independently of our consciousness.

I really like hades, mostly because i love mythology, gjosts, witcges, anything to do with greek mythology or holloween..he is the god of the underworld..he can also cause earthquakes.his dog, Cerberus, is a three headed dog that is huge. He is also the maker of the kraken. Hestia: hestia is the goddess of the home, the hearth, and the goddess of cooking. I love food...soooooo...
While those are my favorites, my least favourites is hera and zeus. Zeus is a man whøre. And hera, she threw hephaestus OFF MOUNT OLYMPUS. :
Good choices. 👍
Iphigenia is almost always depicted as being sacrificed to the gods so that the Greeks would regain the winds and could sail for Troy. I'm curious where you guys found a story that depicts her as being saved by Artemis? Do you have a link to it? I would love to check that out. Of course, there are many contradictory accounts of Greek myths!
Hi Spencer, Iphigenia being rescued by Artemis is mentioned in Hyginus' "Fabulae", and the "Hesiodic Catalogue of Women". Hope that helps! 🙂
@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia interesting, I'll check that out! Thank you!
Are all of us witches watching this 👀

Полезно знать древнюю историю греческих камней
I wish I was Ahena😍😍
If the god and goddess have new generation student they name will be different and a little bit close to they goddess and God titles. They can be demigods and demigoddess.👍🙏
Then who is Minthi?
Minthe is a Naiad who was turned into a mint plant by either Persephone or Demeter, when she said that she was better than the Goddess of the Underworld (Persephone). Although, as with most myths, there are a number of different versions of this myth.
In some accounts Hephaestus is the son of Hera and Zeus.
Hades, the God representing the unconscious shadow.
Yes I love it.... 🍇
Persephone
Great choice!
so Venus was the oldest Olympian
That's y I'm an Aries ♈🐏
Heard they had problems with Kratos...
I really like that roman banner
This sounds like the 12 Olympiian gods the 12 apostles
I definitely like Athena
Estranged
No cyclopsis made the helmet for hades
Athena and Ares always find a way back to each other so could we agree at least agree to be less heliocentric? We should decree, Uranus is god of the heavens' while Gaia is of the earths'!
It's interesting i think it blends art and real events that started at 242k bce... periodic cataclysms on earth cause memory loss through the trauma associated...and this is a way to recall the events without the experience of the psychological trauma. Rudolf Steiner said the Greek post Atlantean epoch was the greatest and has no parallel. I think that means the Greek Epoch was the height of white supremacy and it has been declining ever since then.
What a coincidence, these twelve Olympians became the 12 sons of Jacob (Saturn).
The Latin Terra, somehow, became the Hebrew Terah, father of Abram (spring), Haran (summer), and Nahor (winter). Stranger still, is the same three sons are also Shem (winter), Japheth (spring), and Ham (summer). The miracles never cease, for the three daughters of Job (Earth) are the same three seasons. The Latin Fortuna, became Gad, a son of Jacob (Saturn). Asher, another son, who is the Penis (upright/strong/righteous) and rock that begat thee, had a wife called Asherah (Vagina). Jacob made a terrible mistake by wresting with god (his genitals) and becoming a Eunuch. This required that Rachel had to call upon god, the Phallus, to get impregated with Benjamin (Libra). Rachel (Virgo constellation) wanted to name this son Ben Oni which means son of the right testicle. Abraham (who like Zeus, as a baby, was nursed by a goat and bee goddess) overruled Rachel (Virgo) and named him Ben Jamin or son of the right side. Now we all know that the right side is the good side as it represents summer and crop production (six days in Gen 1). The left side is another matter, as this side represents winter and the period of non crop production (six nights in Gen 1) and is represented by the left testicle (Hoa/Hea). The two testifiers are Oni on the Right and Hoa on the left. The rod/staff just above these twins is called Asher. With these twins he gets the sign Gemini, which is also Philadelphia.
How about the Golden Ram, of Greek myth, that became the Ram that Abraham sacrificed? This same Ram is still in the Heavens as the Aries constellation which is also the constellation of Gad, who was borrowed from Latin myth. Here we have Benjamin (Libra) and Gad (Aries) what a pair they make! I'll bet some pick up on the word Hoa which comes the Greek word for water an naturally the Moon. Take a look at the words Medad and Eldad and Moses. The Mo in Moses is Egyptian for WATER. Moses can be spelled as Meses, Mises, and Muses. Back to Medad = two words of water + lover = Libra and Eldad aka El (Ram) + dad/lover = Aries. Moses is a pesonifcation of the man with the water pot (Aquarius constellation). Moses like, Ganymede, was so beautiful that Zeus fell head over heels in love with him and transformed himself into an Eagle (Aquila constell) and carried him (Aquarius) to the top of Mount Olympus (Exodus 19.4). Moses/Ganymede was the boy/toy of Zeus and with his "water pot" was the "cup bearer" to the gods. Let's hope Moses/Ganyemede has plenty of vaseline to lubricate his rear "doorway to heaven."
wow thanks man for your efford here. you make me verry happy to put so many names in the right places...TOP. moses, can he be also ramses (2)?
maybe you now maybe not.....jezus=zeus the 12 diciples + judas are the 12 olympian god's + hades.
Here's an interesting topic.
Was Jesus the son of Metis, wife of Zeus?
If you read the myth about Zeus and Metis, Zeus was always fearful of Metis having a son who dethrone Zeus. Zeus swallowed Metis to keep Metis from having a son that but resulted in Athena emerging from Zeus forehead.
What if Metis didn't have a son with Zeus, but kept the seed hidden and secret until a time she could plant the seed in Mary, Mother of Jesus?
The myth does kinda fit together, either Mary was able to reproduce internally without male interaction or the 'light' came into Mary that Metis had seeded Mary with.
The fact that a country wide hunt for the "Son of God" took place after rumor had it that an extraordinary birth outside the realm had taken place. A birth that would topple the old religions.
In this case "God" could have been a veiled name given to Zeus, an etherical shield, where the manhunt for the Son of God or Zeus as matter of fact, ended up with turmoil being created across the land in the form of the first born son of each home being taken and cast out of life. Turmoil that saw the greatness of Rome, including Jupiter, King of Roman God's, who was a carry over from Greece, where Jupiter, like Zeus, who were both King of Gods, destroyed. Jupiter and Rome were set asunder after Jesus's birth and eventual crucifixion that does complete the story of Zeus' power being undone by a Son of Metis.
Now Bow to your Queen.
I think today known as Olympic
14:56 castrated his father.... Uranus 🤣
The mother of Dionysus is not pronounced Semeel. Her name is made up of three syllables, the Greek being Σεμέλη. This isn't the only video that gets it wrong.
Athena and Hermes.
I’d pick hades honestly because out of all the gods he is the least dickish of all. He’s just neutral
The Greek pantheon was largely adopted from Phoenician pantheon. Zeus corresponds to Ba'al Hadad. Mt Olympia corresponds to Mt Sapan/jabal Aqra. In fact the Greek alphabet is adopted from the Phoenician alphabet. Even the idea of democratic city states was first in Phoenician cities.
Learn history my friend before you become a misinformer. Phoenicians were created by Greek Phoenix and ruled as Persia, Egypt and many other major cities all over the Mediterrenean sea by Greek Kings till Rome. Rome also created by a Troan (Greek). So it is wise to learn history if you want to assist instead of misguide people. As for the pantheon... well read above and you will learn the truth
@@Tekmirion It is also wise to spell 'misguide' correctly.
@@murdochmclennan3510 Thanks for correcting me! 🙂 My english are so best very so sometimes yeah i dont have much time to check my spelling but thanks anyway. Corrected!
Only in your fantasy..
@@ΒαγγεληςΝοτης look up my claims for yourself. Compare the Greek Pantheon and "god cycle" with the Phoenicians, and Egyptians, and Sumerians. 1 to 1 correspondence. Even Plato's works were for Hellenic societies in relation to the more mature and declining Egyptian, Phoenican civilizations. Atlantis was an allegory for Hellenes about Egypt, Phoenicia, Mesopotamia
jezus is zeus and the other 12 i rest my case judas=hades and exanchend for a other one. thats why the contradiction.
Referring to the female victims (love interests) of Zeus forceful "love" as objects... damn that's cold...
Miss I am in the book my name is Athena LOL
Why? why do you tell stories about gods you obviously don't like?
Hi! What do you mean?
These 12 Olympian gods or nothing more than the 12 houses of the zodiac and the energies associated with each house be it of a higher frequency or lower
so much incest😭😭 i had no idea💀
Yep... 😬 Thanks for watching!

Last I've heard about Zeus and Poseidon, the former bodied some naked dude who had a thing for apples and the latter was chopped to bit by some Japanese dude.
U look like Hera.
THOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME
You are beautiful and smart like goddess Athena Kelly.

This is the actual Ares God of War I'm also Yahweh in the Bible and the Mayan feathered serpent God Kulkukan Quetzlecoat hello
Thanks for watching!
Africa used to worship many gods but we abandoned them and embraced white man's gods which failed to solve our problems which means that time has come for man to abandon them and find another solution like science which can help him to solve his problems
All these gods are connected they just all have different names because once the Tower of Babel fell their was many languages this is all one time and place that’s why all the stories sound like they are stolen just a hidden ongoing story
@@TankFlyzSolo420 thanks for your wisdom
Nietzsche ... "God is Dead" quote referencing consequences of the Enlightenment. Science is a form of religion resulting from the Age of Enlightenment transitioning cultural emphasis on rationality and science as a means of understanding the human condition. When reflecting on what "defines" a religion people thing of idols, ritual , place of worship, procedures of worship, method of salvation, etc. Putting science into that framework idols are easy enough to figure out (microscopes, etc. ), ritual/procedures of worship= scientific method, place of worship = labs and research organizations, method of salvation= our own intellect/repeatable results indicating evidence of results.,,, as you noted it will solve our problems. Arguably, science has caused as many problems as more "accepted" forms of religion. With that said, you are absolutely correct about accepting the anglo gods (i.e. modern science) yet science and a large number of our cultural components are middle eastern (northern Iraq/Syria) in origin. Hebrew text also was derived from there.
😂😂😂 stop showing the fake Statues . Where the original black statues 🤔. Literally white washed everything
All the greek god copy of hindu god
Well...
Greek and indian gods had the same origin who was the Indo-European pantheon.
Some inaccuracies, however I've seen content on other channels that are far worse!
I enjoyed your video which is informative yet concise. I would choose Hermes as my patron! I've read that he was kind to mortals and that he brought them luck and prosperity: apparently
a lucky find, a windfall is a hermaion, a ‘gift of Hermes’.
Good choice in patron! Thanks so much for watching!
