So you when to hell now what.

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.

Wut?!!
Who's talking about norse mythology?!
I mean all mythologies... norse included, of course... but the norse one is a latecomer.
The earliest known was from Mesopotamia.... then Egypt... Greece... go for those.
