The Great Virgin Mother Isis - Ancient Mythology is not a Cheeseburger

[michaelsherlock]

A few of my quibbles,can't be bothered with more.

(1) Isis was the sister -wife of Osiris,not a virgin..

(2) Some myths are based on fact,most are not. At least that is what I was taught at university whilst studying anthropology..

(3) Campbell's work is tainted by theosophy,his work stuck in the nineteenth century. A competent modern anthropologist would not use the term 'primitive' anything..


Overall, I think your proposition is of mild interest, although unoriginal, sloppy and inconclusive. I suggest go away and do some serious research under supervision and write a proper thesis.

To me, your article smells a little of the well known crackpottery of "Zeitgeist"'

PS I too thought you had been banned. We'll soon find out;if you're a sock puppet, you won''t last long.

Thanks for the feedback. You haven't really explained why you hold these opinions of the article and you failed to address the major issues, so I will wait until you have something intelligent to add.
