There is a new board at Ancient Mysteries. It is called Ancient Mythos. The description of it goes a little something like this:
Throughout the ancient world we have recorded evidence of people’s beliefs through their myths. In modern times, while reading these myths, they look fanciful at best. Beasts we have never seen with our own eyes are commonplace. Gods and goddesses filled with human traits, walked the earth with mankind. We can read about a variety of bizarre occurrences taking place in different areas of the world.
Under this topic we will explore the different quirks in these myths. Who knows, we may uncover some ancient common root to it all. ...
Currently, I have put up two different threads under this new topic. They are:
The Common Link: If one were to read the mythologies of different ancient cultures, one would see that some of the tales and even gods seem to be the same throughout. Is there a common link between the myths of the ancients, a cross-contamination so to speak?
The Truth Behind the Myth: Ancient myths show us all about the wild imagination of our ancestors...or so we think. Some would say there is truth behind the myth. Under this topic we will explore these aspects of the tales of our ancestors.
