HedwigesMaduro:
So, the Roman Empire cobbled the story of Jesus together, sold it to their colonies to subdue them, and started persecuting the members of the colonies that readily bought into the Roman lie, right? Does that make sense to you, Mr. Researcher? Or you'll come and say "Roman persecution of Christians can only be found in the Bible"?

A wiser man once said similar and added

Acts 5:36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. 5:37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. 5:38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: 5:39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

You don't speak the English language because it's the best language in the world.

Once you realize that, you'll understand that you don't believe in Jesus because it's real, rather because our ancestors were enslaved with Jesus.

OkCornel:


I understand your point of view now.

However, the bias here though would be…the further we go back in time, the more difficult it would be to prove the existence of ancient personalities. Bearing in mind the loss of documented evidences to the “sands” of time. There’s only so much Archeology can uncover.

Another thing to consider, is if Abraham lived in an era where information was much more reliant on oral tradition rather than writings…that'll make it more challenging to prove his existence, and by extension everyone who lived in that era.

Anyways…sticking only to written records as criteria for validation of historical figures is a limitation of scope and perhaps an inherent bias in the evaluation model. But oh well…pros and cons…

LordReed:


We don't rely only on writings for ancient characters nor did I suggest such.

OkCornel:


Wasn’t implying you suggested it. Just my thoughts on the evaluation process generally.

What are the other sources of evidence considered for existence of ancient characters?

LordReed:


Archaeological artifacts.

In the beginning God created just a pair of humans .....

Sorry Max, but you know buda does not subscribe to this mythology which the facts do not support.

That’s because you haven’t heard The Truth my dear Prophet Buda.
The heavens were a multiplicity of unity before the generation of the gods.
After the generation of the gods, divine beings gathered above the 7 hills of the Pleiades and deliberated and decided.
In the beginning, Zeus created 7 pairs of woman and man…….

Maynman:


In the mythology, The father of Zeus is cronus.
Where did you get the bolded?

KnownUnknown:


I was in the traveling in the plains trodden by the Apache when I saw the vision of the sublime.
I beheld the revelation, I beheld the gods
I marveled at the clary of the Light

Maynman:

“In the beginning zeus created” bwahahahah
Zeus was not even there in the beginning.
The father of Cronus is Uranus, you are welcome.

KnownUnknown:


What’s so funny?!!
How do you know Zeus wasn’t in the beginning?
Where you there? Have you beheld the revelation. Have you beheld the gods?

You arrogantly assert the ancestry of Zeus as if you have beheld the gods or have seen the vision of the sacred Pleiades.

Maynman:


It’s a Greek mythology.
You ignorantly believe he was real? Bwahahahah.
You “beheld or behead” the revelation and saw zeus? Probably a white man with white beards , bwahahahah

KnownUnknown:


Your bumptious ignorance is amusing.
What I speak of is not myth. It is not allegory. It is The Truth. I have beheld the revelation. I have seen the seed of the woman crushing the head of the serpent.
Jupiter Pluvius, the great Zeus stoked the fire of reason in my mind and I saw the True Light.
Your puerile and vain imaginations limits you to the “white man with white beards”. Nay, those are the ignorant musings of men like you.

I communed with the divine.
I have dined with the gods.
I sat on the throne of Cepheus
And the Divine called me King

Unless you have gazed down at Gaia from one of the 12 mansions, you have no seat at this table nor can you speak of Zeus.

Maynman:


Seems you enjoy the hesiod characters. Bwahahahah
You beheld a revelation and saw Hesiod created characters bwahahahah.
Jupiter is a Roman god different from Greek mythology, calm down and don’t rush to type.
Do you enjoy Masashi Kishimoto characters too?
Your blatant ignorance is shameful.

KnownUnknown:


Before the time of the fathers of Hesiod, the world was illumined by Izdubar but your ignorance won't let you see through the Greek veil.
The Greeks learned at the feet of the Giants but you present babe in the woods, Hesiod, as your source. Of what need is a source when you have beheld the revelation?

Yakasaki characters are more akin to gods if you want to bring levity to the topic.
Behold the Water Bearer cometh
The Age of Man will bear many fruits
Believe the serpent and take your fill
Til' then
Care for the land and till
