So you when to hell now what.

Hence, tracing Greek mythology back to Babylon.

But you are aware that Greek and Messopotamic religions weren't the only religions in the old world? At least I hope so.

I clearly stated that polytheism came out of Mesopotamia, specifically Babylon since it was the "Holy City" of the time. Therefore every religion that is polytheist has it's origin from Babylon.

Mesopotamian religion refers to the religious beliefs and practices followed by the Sumerian and East Semitic Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian and later migrant Arameans and Chaldeans, living in Mesopotamia (a region encompassing modern Iraq, Kuwait, south east Turkey and north east Syria) that dominated the region for a period of 4,200 years from the fourth millennium BCE throughout Mesopotamia, to approximately the 10th century CE in Assyria.
Mesopotamian polytheism was the only religion in ancient Mesopotamia for thousands of years before entering a period of gradual decline beginning between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE.

The piece I quoted wasn't from either of them, but you obviously don't even know where it's from and lack even the basics to look it up. Also mentioning Adonis is a little bit on the funny side, since he has more in common with your lord and savious than a name.

I was into mythology as a child, especially Norse mythology. If you want me to connect Norse mythology specifically to Babylon, fine.

ODIN was the great Norse war god. The Assyrians and Babylonians also had a war god known as 'ADON,' and the Greeks later had a god named 'ADONIS,' as well. The Babylonish Adon was the god of WINE. In the NORSE ELDER EDDA we are told that Odin ate no food but wine: "The illustrious father of armies, with his own hand, fattens his two wolves, but the victorious Odin takes no other nourishment to himself than what arises from the unintermittent quaffing of wine. For 'tis with WINE ALONE that Odin in arms renowned is nourished forever."

Which should be no surprise because the Germanic language can be traced back to Mesopotamia (I believe we all know the story of the tower of Babel).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages

The Indo-European languages are a family of several hundred related languages and dialects.

Indo-European languages are spoken by almost 3 billion native speakers, the largest number by far for any recognised language family. Of the 20 languages with the largest numbers of native speakers according to SIL Ethnologue, 12 are Indo-European: Spanish, English, Hindi, Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, German, Sindhi, Punjabi, Marathi, French, Urdu, and Italian, accounting for over 1.7 billion native speakers.

The Anatolian hypothesis is that the Indo-European languages spread peacefully into Europe from Asia Minor from around 7000 BCE with the advance of farming (wave of advance).

Isn't this what I said by stating the Bible was first displayed in the zodiac?

errr.... not under the connotation you want...
The stars are there.
People look up and see figures, then they make up stories about the interaction of these figures and how they move in the (night) sky.... sometimes, they even take into account the year-long motion.
From these stories, mythologies were created.
Mythologies gave rise to religions...
Religions put down the stories as something truthful.... completely separated from the astrological source... and the rest is history.

Maybe you'd like to take a look into this: http://www.sacred-texts.com/astro/argr/a...htm#page_3

As I said before, the prophecy of a coming messiah has been around since the beginning. The mythologies are perversions of the original story. Kinda like how the Mormon religion is a perversion of Christianity.

What happened is people either elevated themselves or were elevated to God status. If you do some research you'll find that those ancient "gods" were actual people.

The central figure of Norse Mythology is the hero known as ODIN. He is believed to he an historic figure, the king who led his tribes northwestward from their former residence in a city called Asgard to their new home in Western Europe. Asgard literally means "city of God," and perhaps by implication, "the city of God's people." Although it has never been identified by archaeologists, it is believed to have been located either in southern Russia or Northern Assyria, placing it in the region where the ten tribes were lost to history. After Odin's death, his great deeds were expanded until he took on godhood in the folk memory of the people. But it is important to note that the name "Odin" shows unmistakable evidence of a Babylonian origin.
