They found Gorak.. I mean Zeus;
The Greek god of thunder and lightning had Earthly beginnings, and scientists think they finally know where.Zeus was just another in a long line of deities that the religious cults used to control people.
Ancient Greeks first worshipped the omnipotent Zeus at a remote altar on Mount Lykaion, a team of Greek and American archaeologists now think. During a recent dig at the site, the researchers found ceremonial goods commonly used in cult activity and dated at over three millennia old, making them the earliest known "appearance" of Zeus in Greece.
The discovery challenges the idea that Zeus worship began on the Greek island of Crete, which at least one classical historian names as the god's mythic birthplace. The latest finds on Mount Lykaion, in the mainland province of Arcadia, are as old as the idea of Zeus himself
Jesus is this generation's Zeus, and the people that believe the new myths are just as crazy as the ancient Greeks.
Actually.. that's doing a disservice to the Greeks. They just didn't know any better.
The cycle goes on and on. The big difference now is that everything that happens is digitally recorded.. so it's a lot harder to simply make stuff up and pass it off as some miracle or other. I think Jesus might just be the last of the made-up gods.
I think I would have liked to have been an ancient Greek.
