Interesting Religious Prehistory

I happened upon a very interesting YouTube Video that appears to go back to Pre-Abrahamic, Pre-Zoroastrian existence? Very interesting.

Glad to discover that the thumbnail was the real Sargon of Akkad, and not the youtuber Carl Benjamin.

I'm wary of any historical analysis crediting military losses to "degeneration", but will give the video a proper watch later.

I'm not a Historian, I just read lots. I don't actually trust anyone's authoritative explanation of History. Perhaps Isaac Asimov got close? Thankfulness fills me that I have tried my utmost to please the God I know. For me, there is not much time left, hopefully.

Yes, the religious history of the Middle East is rather well-documented from the time of Sumer (~4,000 BC) onward. Sumer, Akkadia, Asyria, Babylon, Canaan, the Hittites, the Hurrians... We know about the religious beliefs and practices of all these peoples.

Most Americans, and perhaps the British do not know about these things. And this sort of history is often couched in religious dogma, meaning that most things before 1500 BC are regarded as fable. Sad really.

At the risk of sounding nihilistic, the history of the last 50 years is vehemently disputed by those who were there and still alive today.

I think that even the experts "know so little that they don't even know what they don't know". I have been and remain devout about the One God, but after that, it seems that things are badly off track, with leaders often distorting what they know to benefit themselves.

There's no doubt that there's been an evolution of all religions, and I certainly don't think that's all bad. However, the "purists" would definitely disagree.
