She is later worship as Ishtar by the Babylonian. Astarte by the ancient Phoenicians, Canaanites and some say Israeli. Also via Phoenicians she is transported to Greek island of Cyprus and localised as Aphrodite. And later Rome combined her with the Roman Goddess Venus to create Venus we know today.

This channel has been one of my favorites for years, so I'm glad you don't plan on quitting. I think the problem with any educational videos is that there will always be some people who watch it once and never again, which probably contributes to the treadmill concern. I'm not one of those people, I do rewatch videos sometimes when I want to refresh my memory about something, but I'm not sure how to completely forestall that from happening. Even if educational KZbin channels were on a TV station like Discovery, there'd still be people who wouldn't really be rewatching something like that after the first time.

Great video; I really loved the discussion of conversion vs adhesion. It wasn't a topic in theology with which I was at all familiar. It also made me curious to read Metamorphosis & some of the scholarly imterpretations thereof. We have a non-zero body of writing by ancient Greek & Roman scholars who were skeptical or dismissive of the supernatural, including even their own cultures' founding myths. That said, I'd have liked some mention of my favorite Catholic church in Rome: the Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. It's a Catholic church dedicated to the Madonna ("Santa Maria") built atop ("sopra", etymologucally related to the English "super") a temple not -- as the name suggests -- to Minerva, but to Isis. In fact, the temple has *three* layers & you can go further down from the newer pagan temple to the deeply cramped temple it was built on top of. Beyond the simple "cool factor" of seeing three differemt periods of architectural styles on top of each other, I see the Santa Maria sopra Minerva as an archeological metaphor for syncretism & ppl's instincts to preserve the holy. It makes a lot of sense that a Catholic church built atop a goddess of motherhood & salvation would be dedicated to St. Mary. In Catholicism, the Madonna plays a substantial role in the salvation of sinners, such as her pivotal role in Göthe's "Faustus", where she pleads for the possibility of Faustus' redemption. The Madonna also protects seafarers under the aspect "Madonna, stella Maris" ("Madonna, the Star of the Sea"). I generally agree w/ the theologians who argue that St. Mary absorbed these elements in no small part from Isis (as well as elements of Venus Genetrix, Aphrodite Urania, & Vesta). To me, it shows the fluidity of culture & of how believes change w/i a culture. Christianity didn't spread to the polyyheistoc Mediterranean by stamping out pagan practices (at first); it adapted & absorbed elements of the polytheistic belief systems, incorporating them into a new Roman Catholicism.

I really like your channel brother. I hope and pray all your needs and somewants are given from the work you do. I have learned so much from your channel over the last 8 or 9 years.

Isis was extremely popular all over the Mediterranean world, so much so that but for a tiny cult called Christanity which had a few very good front men, we might well be worshipping Isis today. If so, the world would be a lot different. A lot different!

Hey Andrew, this has been another great video! I always enjoy the great stuff you give us all for FREE on KZbin. Like seriously your videos are better than any documentary Netflix or the History channel put out. As a small and still quite new channel, I really appreciated hearing what you said at the end. I'm definitely feeling the hamster wheel thing and I constantly have to remind myself that at this point I'm making videos as a hobby and I can't afford to treat this as a full time job (especially since I do also have an actual full time job). But I also love making educational content which pushes me on to keep going regardless. Anyway, keep up the great work! I hope 2024 exceeds all your expectations. You were one of the channels that inspired me to start making content on KZbin in the first place, and I will always support your content in any way I can! (sadly can't afford patreon right now, but maybe some day. God knows if anyone deserves it, it's you)

2:00 what is also interesting is how Osiris also resurrected after 3 days and how there were 3 people there to give gifts when he was born under a certain star

yo man, i loooove your channel, besides wikipedia and the internet archive, your channel is one of the few online things ive considered donating to. im very happy to know you are staying. would you consider doing more videos on the religious aspects of the pre-proto/proto indo europeans? your video about the sky father got me reading a lot about that topic! specially about the kurgan hypothesis hehe : ^)

Fascinating. Would have loved to see some comparisons and theories on whether the Isiac cult perhaps influenced Marian veneration in the Christian, especially in the Catholic church. I know that topic is still heavily debated.

Veneration of Saints and such is strictly a Catholic thing. Not a Christian thing.
@Alex-mn1fb7 ай бұрын
@@yoshijb9428 You really sound so confidently smug for someone who is so utterly wrong, as Christianity is a far wider and older concept then the Catholic-Protestant dichotomy that you are clearly only familiar with.
