This is the long-awaited follow up to S1E62 where we discussed the ancient Sumerian and Babylonian myths the Enuma Elish and Epic of Gilgamesh and compared them to the accounts in Genesis. This time around, we focus on the Zoroastrian religion of ancient Persia and see how even the non-Semitic traditions of the prophet Zarathustra left there indelible mark on the Hebrews...and Christians! Heaven and Hell, Angles and Demons and their cosmic battle with one-another; the ultimate judgement and end of days; the bodily resurrection, the savior-redeemer and the New Jerusalem...all of these concepts originate, not in the Bible, but before...
Enjoy ;)
