The Religions of Ancient Canaan and Phoenicia

1200 - 516 B.C.E - Digging deeper into the spiritual side of the geographical area which gave birth to Judaism and how polytheism turned into monotheism. We try to uncover the true identity of God and a variety of other deities that dominated religious life in the Ancient Near East!

@Herbal Shaman The 1st alpha-bets evolved during the 2nd millennium B.C.E. (www.history.com/news/who-created-the-first-alphabet ), and PHOENICIA DIDN'T EVEN EXIST until the FIRST MILLENNIUM B.C.E. Thus Phoenicians would've needed to invent a time-machine for your nonsense theory to be true. Canaanites, e.g. Ugaritic as someone else above, who exposed your cockamamie lies, noted as an example, used alpha-bets (or rather, aleph-beits :-) ) LONNNNNNGGGGGG before Phoenicians and their language even EXISTED.

There will always be strong feelings about any narrative on such an important subject. My work is a general overview and not designed to influence anyone's thoughts. You are all the captains of your own minds, and you must all draw your own conclusions. My studies have demonstrated that ancient societies interpreted different mythologies in different ways, because verbally transmitted stories naturally alter. Ancient scriptures and traditional scriptures differ in their description of different aspects. My advice, do not believe the opinion of anyone, make your own study and formulate your own opinion.

Question; Are similar god and goddess statues found in the excavations where the Hyksos (the shepherd kings) occupied Egypt? Or rather, what gods did the Hyksos worship?

[@historyoftheworldpodcast5234]

I've not studied the Hyksos extensively, but I am aware that the Egyptians associated the deity, Set, with the Hyksos. The Egyptians associated Set with chaos, and traditionally depicted him as a man with the head of a strange and unknown animal. Some traditions state that Set killed the great Osiris, while others possibly later showed Set in a more positive light, with him accompanying the sun god, Ra, across the sky, as well as inspiring the names of New Kingdom pharaohs and one of Ramesses II's army divisions.

[@Possumn1138]

@@historyoftheworldpodcast5234 Just seems that if they had occupied an area for a time, some of their own preferred religious artifacts would also remain at the sites to help identify where they came from. There is still that question unanswered. But it perhaps answers the question on why single tombs were moved to the valley of the kings, if tribute was required from a foreign ruler. Andsome older single tombs were used as a possible resource in difficult times.

Enlil was the higher ranking of the two, therefore would be considered the Primary God in the counties under their command. As to other Gods’ names, they were called by different names in different countries.

[@electrosyzygy]

This reminded me of books I would highly recommend here: Mark S. Smith's 'Early History of God' and 'The Origins of Biblical Monotheism: Israel's Polytheistic Background and the Ugaritic Texts to all. Based on what was then (19 years ago) recent scholarship/translations he explores the transition from polytheism > henotheism > monotheism; the concept of religion and divinity itself to the ancient Bronze Age mind. Interestingly the Ugaritic texts describe a complex pantheon in which YHWH and Baal are rival brothers among many other sons and daughters of El. Incidentally, both are described rain/thunder/storm gods thus symbolizing fertility and virility. This is significant as these texts precede any Biblical texts by centuries and explains the Biblical rivalry between the two. As the supreme deity, El is portrayed as a wise old man, with a white beard, sitting on a throne; often he is given epithets like 'El the Merciful', which brings to mind Islamic prayers and formulae. Though we consider it a caricature today, this image of God the Father is still with us. El is a 'first tier God', otiose, or astral god; they tend to be associated with beginnings (etiology and cosmology), they are concerned with the cosmos and are rather removed and distant from the realm of human experience, like weather phenomena or soil fertility, and as such are more like titular gods with little incidence on life. El rules the cosmos with a light touch, presides over a heavenly court occasionally intervening when things get out of hand between his children. The latter are the 2nd tier gods like Baal and YHWH who are the ones who were the focus of worship and effected daily life; the 3rd tier were specialist gods like Kothar (similar to Hephaestus/Vulcan) and the 4th tier are messenger gods, they usually relay messages between the 1st tier and the others, often found in the heavenly court. They bring to mind what would later become angels. Anyway, through a complex process of conflation which mirrors the transition of city-states to empires, then growing empires absorbing others and the transition from the Late Bronze Age Collapse into the Iron Age; the number of gods are gradually reduced; some disappearing entirely while others absorb several others or their attributes, the names often becoming titles or attributes. If I remember correctly, this is the case with YHWH, a most extreme example of conflation. Baal came to be a title 'Lord', still used today by Orthodox sects (Baal Shem Tov).

I wish I could get you to hear me pronouncing it because it’s not easy to show you from texting. All I can say is maybe ask a native of Lebanon or and countries around the levant and ask them to pronounce Baalbek and the first part of the word bal is the way we pronounce ba’al. Good day “Baalbek (/ˈbɑːlbɛk/),[1] properly Baʿlabek[2] (Arabic: بعلبك‎, romanized: Ba’labakk, Syriac-Aramaic: ܒܥܠܒܟ) and also known as Balbec,[3] Baalbec[4] or Baalbeck,[5] is a city located east of the Litani River in Lebanon's Beqaa Valley”

It's interesting that the cannanites came from one man from the 12 tribes of Isreal, all from the same bloodline. Yet, so many different religions.

We know that the Baal of Ugarit and Yahweh aren't the same. The Baal of Ugarit was Hadad. But both characters are storm gods, and we know Yahweh "borrowed" attributes from Hadad. They were still definitely worshiped separately and in different locations.

[@jennijones1532]

Yahweh was and is the first and only God. Just ask Him. He will tell you yes.

[@erimgard3128]

Then it's super weird that he decided to plagiarize Hadad lol

[@jennijones1532]

@@erimgard3128 He didnt. He is the beginning and the end. The first and the last. He is the God of IS RAEL. Get it. The God of IS REAL. He's real. He created everything. He doesnt need to borrow or steal when everything is his. He makes these claims. No other gods ever do. *chuckles*.

[@erimgard3128]

That's not what Israel means lol It means "I struggle with El" El also happened to be the name of the high god of Ugarit.

[@erimgard3128]

And Israel didn't exist when the writings of Hadad that I'm talking about were chiseled. But you're not interesting in actually discussing facts. You're just chanting slogans designed for children. I'm not interested. I've studied the Bible my whole life. I've also studied other cultures and texts. You're not going to tell me anything new with your kindergarten level analysis.

What do you think of the book "the invention of God" Thomas Romer That posits that Yah and EL merged, and Asherah was taken out after Babylonian captivity. Also, what do you think of Proto-Hebrew which resembles Phoenician? That current square script was influenced by Babylonian captivity....and astrological aspects.

My haplogroup y-chromosome is R-M167. It seems to have originated in Spain 2600 years ago. Its parent haplogroup is DF27 which also branched into the Basque population. as R-M153. This means that our ancestors were present at the time of Hanibal. Better yet, the Tartasos archeological site at Guerena Extremadura was named (guarena) by my ancestor Guarino de Verona's descendants. Of course guarino de Verona was also R-M167. How do I know? Its longitudinal coordinates are 6 W 6 ' 6'' or 666. Welcome to my world.
