The history of religion

The history of religion is not available because it is the history of religion which proves that religion is but a colossal fraud.
To know the history of religion, one has to research himself. The following are the results of my own research:

The peoples of the ancient Near East did not believe in heavenly, supernatural, immaterial beings! There was the term “lord”, which when applied to the social rank of the lord it could mean up to “king”, and when to the superior status of the king it meant “god”. Those belonging to the tribe, clan, or race of the king were all called gods.
The kings were augmenting their population (producing slaves at the same time) by having their noblemen, the lords-gods, raping confined foreign women, mostly prisoners of war (in fact, they were operating human breeding grounds). The unexpected aftermath of that practice was that some of the infants were recognized as “sons of lords-gods”, thus making the women mothers of gods, i.e., goddesses!

The women who turned goddesses, caused the public harems, where they were confined, to evolve into temples (The Egyptian name of the temple at Luxor is /ipt rst/ meaning “Harem of the South”, and of the temple at Karnak is /ipt swt/ meaning “Harem districts”).
What is more, however, was that since the lords-gods had to pay to rape the women so that the expenses of the human breeding grounds would not burden the king’s treasury, the custom of the remuneration was passed on to the temples thus creating the well-known practice of Temple Prostitution.
Scholars cannot confirm the practice of temple prostitution in the ancient Near East. Low-quality translations of the Egyptian texts prevent them from tracking the origins of the practice.

The Origins of Temple Prostitution

The lords-gods were transformed into heavenly immaterial Gods when someone made a joke saying that the ‘gods’ climbed ladders and went to live up in the sky (they were already at the top of the mountains: Olympus to Greeks, The Cedar Forest to Sumerians, i.e., halfway up, but that is another story). The above information we get from the oldest religious texts, the ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts.
The relevant passages, in the original hieroglyphic text translated word-for-word, can be found in the following article:

Occurrence of heavenly gods: When, where, and how.

In this way, the heavenly gods were created out of the lords called gods, and out of them, theologians produced the one and only God.

The Origins of Theology

The most interesting part of the whole story of the gods/Gods, however, is the introduction to the story which goes back by more than 40,000 years:

Religion isn't all one thing. Religion is ubiquitous in cultures across the world, not just in the Near East.

Academia.edu site requires only registration.

Anyway, I can send my papers in pdf form via e-mail directly from my PC. Is there a way to upload pdf files on this platform?

As regards religion, the question to be answered is: “How did it all start?”

To answer that question took me thirty years. In the process, I had to teach myself to translate the hieroglyphic. The oldest religious texts, the ancient Pyramid Texts are written on stone in hieroglyphic script.

Where do you think the information on Wikipedia comes from?
I saw no ancient Egyptian texts translated word for word in that Wikipedia article.

Wikipedia, like any other encyclopedia, is very good to get information but not real knowledge.

Knowledge demands study, i.e., a lot of reading.

Oh…so you’re looking for the Internet Sacred Texts Archive then.

And please don’t try to school me on what knowledge demands. Thank you.

Which religion? All of them? Some of them? Just the one for with you're most familiar?

And, do you realize you're saying "history of religion is not available" because "the history of religion proves" something? How do you make any sense from that statement? If there's no history available then there would be nothing evident of falsehood or not.

Archeology and academic history purge that statement right away.
The point is what YOU can do. ;)

As regards the history of religion, it proves that the God concept is the product of a joke. That is the reason it is unavailable.

Repeating the same error does not make it more correct. Your suggestion regarding availability has already been debunked in this thread.

Are you suggesting that if Judaism were true we would, for example, find a Torah from the 3rd c. bc the same as the Torah we have now, rather than, as we think, as a collection of sources (that we haven't found piecemeal either?)? That if Islam were true we'd see Mecca as a trading hub on Roman maps?

What is wrong with the Tanakh available now?
