Anyone with a brain can see the link between the Babylonian, Egypt, and Greek mythologies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenistic_religion
Quote:Hellenistic religion is any of the various systems of beliefs and practices of the people who lived under the influence of ancient Greek culture during the Hellenistic period and the Roman Empire (c. 300 BCE to 300 CE). There was much continuity in Hellenistic religion: the Greek gods continued to be worshipped, and the same rites were practiced as before.

Change came from the addition of new religions from other countries, including the Egyptian deities Isis and Serapis, and the Syrian Gods of Atargatis and of Hadad, which provided a new outlet for people seeking fulfillment in both the present life and the afterlife. The worship of Hellenistic rulers was also a feature of this period, most notably in Egypt, where the Ptolemies adopted earlier pharaonic practice, and established themselves as god-kings.

Like I said, since you claim what I said was untrue, where is YOUR evidence refuting anything I said? Or is it the atheists position to  claim everything is untrue without looking into what is being discussed... kinda like what you did with the bees Rolleyes
