Why does Mythology read like Scripture? Both tell a story..

Why does Indigenous mythology sound like scripture? Ancient western indigenous mythology from cultures that hadn't been exposed to eastern religions.

How is that explained?

Over 190 world-wide cultures have a 'flood' story.

So in Central America due to LiDar technology explorers are rediscovering sites that were once home to millions.

Megatropolises.

Is it possible that most of central America was a hub, a center of an advanced culture long forgotten?

At one time the Amazon jungle and forest was thought to be pristine. We have in the last decade come to know differently. It's like we've discovered something new on Mars. Something we thought didn't or couldn't exist does. That's akin to discovering something off-world.

If we don't know our own planet, how can we truly 'know' mythology or scripture??

The title and first comment pose the proposition that mythology and scripture are speaking the same language - telling us the same story.

If one wants to know as much of the truth as possible they must go to the source. When it comes to Earth history - true history for things like a global catastrophe we'd need to get as close to the source as possible.

Close to those that witnessed a cataclysm and recorded it.

The book of Genesis records a flood and a Tower of Babel civilization. However, we get very little in the way of information from what can only be described today as an advanced civilization one that had the ability to build great cities and towers.

Today we think of our recent past generations as those that built the first great towers as seen in NY and Chicago - surpassed in other places AROUND the world.

But we'd be wrong as the Tower of Babel civilization was more advanced than ours. This is evident in the megaliths that withstood the great catastrophe and ones we cannot yet replicate.

Might mythology, scripture and surviving architecture in the form of monuments - archaic megalithic monuments, be the key to putting the pieces back together?

Yes. The answer is yes.

What I hate is the possibility that there is probably a deliberate coverup of true history by those who start new religions or because some elites or gods think, the peasants can’t handle the truth, give them a nice simple story instead.

This seems to be the case. Religion absorbed the myths and tweaked them. One can find the Egyptian book of the Dead in scripture. More subtle are the myths from the western hemisphere that were 'stolen'.

The Inca were absorbed by the Olmec/Toltec who were absorbed by the Mayans who were absorbed by the Aztecs who ended up in ceremonies on the mesas of the American southwest known as snake dances but it comes from South America as Viracocha and later adapted/known as Quetzalcoatl religion or culture/belief as it made its way north in the Americas.

As that absorption was taking place the Spanish stole the ceremonial beliefs and about 100 years later some of it ended up in the King James version book.

They crudely stitched history back together for the church goers but to get the information back out one needs to study the cultures, the iconography, the petroglyphs and monuments (earthen and rock).

Once one does that it begins to fall into place. One can read scripture and see the geometry as it was meant to be realized at the monuments. This is why ancient monuments, temples and churches have sacred geometry iconography designed in.

Geometry gets to astronomy and then we get to a true history of what happened to Earth in Noah's flood. An expanded story that involves all of Earth, not one family and some animals. That story, as you say ac is simply too simple but it makes for great indoctrination for Sunday school children.

With all the similarities, that should be enough to pique a person's interest that underlying it ALL, there is some truth out there.

But like the telephone game of relaying one message, and with the addition of false teachers and prophets, the truth is changed.

BUT - just the understanding that most have something similar should be enough for a person to recognize there is a true God and seek Him.

All based on actual events. You have to decide which to go with.

bcause it's all SCRIPT ED

After Adam it is ten generations and one thousand and fifty-six years before Noah is born. It is another generation and six hundred more years before the flood sweeps over.

One thousand six hundred and fifty-six years according to Genesis.

(That's a lot of time to have built the ancient, archaic megalithic monuments - none of that is mentioned in Genesis. And yes, I'm now providing an alternative within the timeline for it is my strong suspicion that scripture intentionally leaves out vital information. Information required to piece history back properly) - I'll need to sort that out later for followers.

Tower of Babel - after the Flood

The Tower of Babel narrative in Genesis 11:1–9 is an origin myth meant to explain why the world's peoples speak different languages.

According to the story, a united human race in the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating eastward, comes to the land of Shinar. There they agree to build a city and a tower tall enough to reach heaven. God, observing their city and tower, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other, and scatters them around the world.

What I believe is really happening here is that scripture picks up after the deluge (what I call a solar deluge and is a set of catastrophes that ends with the sun) that sent the 11th generation and perhaps a few more back to the stone age and at some point not described in scripture they had civilized enough to be able to build a city with towers.

If we have evidence that places like Peru were building before the Egyptians were and that they had a large population then I think it likely that people were not scattered but had re-emerged from the solar deluge, from places of safety, at the four corners of earth - which is a geometric way of saying from around the globe or around the earth.

When it says their speech was confused, I believe this to mean that time and the solar cataclysm had destroyed their technology - the one language they spoke was math, geometry and astronomy, which had allowed them to build the original megaliths referred to earlier. I note this alleged 'punishment' dealt with civilizing and construction, which would naturally involve the range of maths and astronomy, which is obvious when reviewing ancient monuments.

If you've followed this through..what might this explain God to be??

No idea. Probably not comprehensible to a human mind limited to 3 dimensions

All I know is shit be going down. Check the forecast for the winter solstice this year. Grand solar minimum on top of the great conjunction. Personal belief is there is one Creator for both humans and all the little g gods. Happens to probably be YHWH. There's a reason every institutional power wants to delegitimize The Bible. Not that any church seems to give an honest report.

Mythology depicts the planets and other celestial bodies as humans to symbolize the movement of celestial bodies. These human symbols were often thought to be gods.

Just another clue that mythology is about an astronomical event.

It's fascinating that NASA likes to use Egyptian gods names.

Good story. Unfortunately paleogeologists are wrong about 'plate tectonics', the ocean floor and continental drifting.

What they have overlooked is the great cataclysm. I've only referred to is as a set of events that culminates with the sun.
These events, including the ice age that comes after the solar deluge remake Earth, they refresh it. Some call it a reincarnation or resurrection.

Life survives but in greatly reduced numbers to start again.

The oceans will boil due to undersea volcanoes. Plant life will be starved due to the pacific rim of volcanic ash. Huge rolling tsunamis will wash the land and polluted rivers clean as it washes back into the seas. And if that wasn't enough huge earthquakes will open the earth and things will disappear - but the continents will not shift. We know this because the ancient monuments built before the last cataclysm (Noah's flood) haven't shifted from the sunlight that provides specific shadow play on the solstices and equinoxes.

Most impressive though could be what is described in Revelation about fire and brimstone. This will be quite scary to witness - as if a mile high wall of water isn't lol. What likely happens is as the permafrost is well melted and the boreal forest will be swimming in methane huge lightning strikes will initiate huge plumes of fire spitting out Earth's crust with it.

The Hopis say the first world was destroyed by fire - a great myth that captures the truth.

Otherwise the narrator does a pretty good job on the evolution side.

The take-away is that the great cataclysm destroyed evidence for human evolution...the missing link as well as the technology that was used to build the archaic megalithic monuments..like the great pyramid. It's missing - burned up, washed to the ocean floor, crushed by ice sheets - some simply eaten by time.

Some technology was safely stored away and why we war in an attempt to find it..

The true mystery lies within distinguishing metaphors from actual events. Some are intertwined, it's up to the individual to decide. Sticking with one belief system and perspective isn't going to help much

The Bible is true.

hero with a thousand faces by joseph campbell

Earth’s history is only 6000 years old?

True dat.

Scripture itself is parables. We all know Jesus spoke in parables. Parables are puzzles. Get the clues, know the answer.

But here's the thing about metaphors, the ancients used a simple system like we might use when teaching kids with simple games or nursery rhymes. A 52-card playing deck is 52 weeks of the year with four 13-week seasons marked by the equinoxes and solstices.

Much of original mythology is true and why the writers of the Bible chose to use it.

Scriptural geologists (or Mosaic geologists)

Up until the end of the 18th century Classical British scholarship was theologically based, using the Bible as a basic source for world history and chronology.[9] Early work in the developing science of geology sought "theories of the Earth" combining mechanical physical laws in the natural philosophy of René Descartes with belief in the global flood described in Genesis 6-8.[10] The Genesis Flood was given serious consideration as a basis for explaining geological data, and though by 1800 naturalists accepted an old-earth cosmology, this was not an inevitable conclusion among the educated. Amateur and popular geologists continued to use scripture centered geology well into the 19th century.

Scriptural geology (SG) and the modern creationist movement (popularly known as young-earth creationism or YEC)

[link to answersingenesis.org (secure)]

IMO what the YEC are seeing is catastrophic geology or geology that isn't slow developing and long-term - due to what they know as Noah's Flood.

The problem is they don't recognize yet fully what Noah's Flood entailed (explained above, below the second post of 'The Whole Saga of the Supercontinents' video) nor do they realize that Revelation is the second coming of the same catastrophe.

This video is in a series. The second of which puts scripture to the astronomical test. Or astronomy to the scriptural test.

..links are at the end of the videos.

The Anemoi were the four wind gods in Greek mythology, each of them corresponding to one of the four cardinal directions (North, South, West, East) from which they came. They also correspond to the four seasons. Whilst there are 12 known Olympians, there exists a 13th - The unknown God which is hardly ever spoken of

Not only does the life of John the Baptist tell a story but so does his death as can be seen in the artwork of his detached and radiant shining head

I rather think you have that backwards, no offense intended, but semantics matter. Ask instead why SCRIPTURE reads like MYTHOLOGY?

Indeed. Most here aren't ready for that yet. Thanks for seeing the truth. Sometimes a mental shift helps too. I previously phrased it both ways over astronomy. It's a bit of a new way of thinking about archaic monuments and temples which utilize math and sacred geometry which points us to the answer which is astronomy and an astronomical event. These monuments and temples are also adorned with mythological symbology (iconography and statues).

It;s impossible to separate the mythology from history - true history. One simply needs to understand what they are seeing or reading.
Bottom line is religion stole it and used it to pass off a false message. A message that gets corrected in the video series below.
