And here are Osiris and Isis (the Widow) as snakes. The similarity with Fuxi and Nuwa is remarkable.
Still it seems odd that ancient Egyptians and ancient Chinese both thought that the founders of their civilizations were serpents.
But not as odd as anyone actually thinking that this conclusion of yours is one that has any basis in reality whatsoever.Still it seems odd that ancient Egyptians and ancient Chinese both thought that the founders of their civilizations were serpents.
That would be the gnostic way of looking at it. Another view is this:I see where you are going. You are suggesting that there may have been 2 serpents in the Garden of Eden.
What's going on is symbolic illiteracy coupled with mythological ignorance....but why are so many gods depicted as serpents. Most humans avoid serpents, and to call someone a snake is to be quite derogatory... What is going on?
Very true!econdly, it was not until the high priests of YHWY mythology, a male centric faith, launched its propaganda program on the goddess religions of the middle east (you know the Garden in Eden tale), that serpents began to be looked at with disfavor. This disfavor has only been around since then. Prior to this, serpents were looked upon favorably.
You are confusing Myth with Reality, again.These cannot be the serpents that I occasionally see in my garden. A bite from those can be fatal.
LOL! If anything, you are consistent.Modern humans are much more intelligent than those ancestors that built various enormous stone structures - often with great precision.
Thus we can ignore any ancient records that disagree with our beliefs.
More technologically advanced, but not more intelligent.Modern humans are much more intelligent than those ancestors that built various enormous stone structures - often with great precision.
Lol....I'm with you.Now I'm thinking they are real lizards!

He was being sarcastic Bro. Warrior. He was putting the previous post down. He uses the royal "we" claiming that "we" can ignore what we don't agree with when he is actually implying that "we" can't understand humans much more intelligent than us.More technologically advanced, but not more intelligent.
Misunderstood, my bad.He was being sarcastic Bro. Warrior. He was putting the previous post down. He uses the royal "we" claiming that "we" can ignore what we don't agree with when he is actually implying that "we" can't understand humans much more intelligent than us.
So why pairs of serpents? Are there 2 timelines?
And a lot more simplistic than assumed by many.The history of the human race is a lot more complicated than assumed.
However, if you wish to forestall fantastical foragings into things that have nothing to do with the actual history of humankind, rather than being distracted and diverted by the mythology of the Greeks or the fabrication of zealous Freemasonic ritual writers, you might want to take your travels toward things that shall better ground you, rather than encourage you to take Icarusian flights of fancy on Daedalus wings.If you want to look into that you might like to consider:
- what are the Annedotus?
- what does that name mean?
- where do they appear in Freemasonry?
