I wrote in my earlier posts, about the large cultures that have had a great impact in our world history. There are of course much more to say about them, but now I would like to explore the three monotheistic religions, Judaism,Christianity and Islam. They once appeared, took place in history, and began to change people's beliefs and myths. Beside the monotheistic religions, existed other cultures, too, and these influenced of course each other. That's why I also need to mention them in this post, because their importance in history and the surrounding world, cannot be emphasized enough. Their belief systems and myths have also effected the monotheistic religions.
1. Judaism. In 2000 B.C. Abraham emigrated from Haran in northern Mesopotamia, the most ancient High Culture with strong influence to its neighbours in Egypt, Middle East and The Indus Valley. At that time, the Minoan Empire on Crete flourished, and in 1900, the Hittites conquered the north and the middle of Anatolien.
By 1400 the Hebrews began to immigrate to land of Canaan, and the Bronze Age began in north of Europe. In 1020-922, the Hebrews were united in Israel, with Jerusalem as their Capital. At 1060 Samuel becomes a Judge and a Profet. In 1043, Saul and The Monarchy begins. At 1010 David is the King and he reigns over Israel and Jerusalem. Salomon succeeds his father David in 970.
During 950, the Chartage was founded. Between 883-612, Assyrian domination in Syria, Israel and Egypt in 850. In 800, the first Etruscan cities were founded, and expanded. The Iliad and Odyssey, were created by Homeros in the 800s, and the first Olympic Game was held in 776. The Scytians arrive in the Black Sea Regions in 700. Etruscian kings rule in Rome at 616-510. 612-538 rises the New Baylonian Empire.
Between the 600-300, it was the Golden Age for the Greeks. The Romans expel the Etruscians and establish the Republic in 510. In 500, the Buddhism is born, and is spread to Nepal through India. Herodotus writes his history in 400.
The Persian fail to conquer Greece in 490-479. The Paracas Culture flourish in Peru during 400 B.C. to 400 A.D. The Celtic expansion begins at 400, and by 300, the Huns came from Asia in attempt to conquer Europe. Alexander The Great rules in many countries between 332-323. China is united during the Chin Dynasti in 221-206, and the Chinese Wall's build project began.
Between the 3rd and 1st centuries, the Etruscan's cultur is over, their traditions carries on by the Romans. The fall of Chartage comes in 146, the Scytians disappear from history in 100, and at 55 Caesar invades England. By 30, Egypt becomes a Roman Province.
During all this time the Hebrews exist. From Abraham's birth at 2166, to Isaac who is born in 2066 and Jacob, his twelve sons and so on... Their monotheistic religion grows with dramatized stories, and shape sacred charters, customs, rituals and beliefs, in the different areas they live in. Most other myths deals with gods and goddesses who take side in human affairs, each favouring rival heroes, whereas the Tanach and the Thora acknowledges only a single universal G-d. Although the canonical books were regarded as written by divine insoiration, and because of that the least taint of polytheism had therefore to be exorcized from them. The apocryphal books were treated more leniently. Many suppressed myths were also allowed to re-emerge.
