I feel like I should be making a list of mythologies for Lambchopsil to add on.

Quote from Dr. Love

[quote=kaerfehtdeelb]I like all of them, But my favorites would be Norse, Greek, and Native America

Edit: I thought roman and greek were basically the same...

The Romans copycated the Greeks.. That's why they're alike..

Well thats what i meant, they just changed the names

Yes, but I just wanted to point out that the Greek Mythology was first.. 😃 Just like the egg was before the chicken.. But that can be debated at an other thread.. 😛 [/quote]
Greek also took theirs from other cultures...

And made it much more brutal too.[/quote]
Mmm... seems logical, as the Roman Empire cared more about military might and conquest than thinking of philosophical questions.

Greek also too theirs from other cultures...

All mythologies have recurring themes and seem to bleed into one another. They traveled and were adopted to fit the culture.

Yes, but the Romans literally copied almost everything from the Greeks.. The Greeks didn't do that, did they.. 😕 Or else, my school sucks.. 🤣

@Karfhtdeelb: I had to laugh that there really was already that kind of thread.. 🤣

No, romans were the only ones who just took the gods and gave them different names. Don't think anyone else did that.

Yes, I can't think of any others. There is, however, some study claiming that Christianity was taken from Egyptian history.

Mmm... I don't think you can really say the Greeks copied from another culture. Although it comprises of some stories with origins from cultures such as the Babylonians, it really isn't similar enough. That's like saying that the novels we read are just copied from previous stories and novels.

🤣    lol, worry not... your school doesn't suck. 

What I meant when they took it from others was about how most of their goddesses (the major ones) were taken from other matriarchal cultures who worship a mother goddess. And what Shattered had already said:

Most moderately ancient civilizations have their own civilization. Back before the days of science, most things were explained through magic and deities. And passing down stories is so much easier than passing down math lectures.

I hate to tell you, but that's not close to all of them. I forgot some.
