These Christian scholars never cease to amaze me how they lump everything together painting the portrait of ancient history with the widest of strokes , with mostly two colors on their palate: ------------>Black & White ....Us and Them. ( and lots of " Grey " to fill in the spaces) wonderful that they can fix a date for the "flood" . and "compute" with God inspired accuracy all the successive timelines . Of course all the bad nature religions came from out of Babylon... Yet they conveniently overlook the religion of Zoroastrianism, with the Messiah of Zoroaster who taught the belief in one God of light, against a "Satan" tempter , and and the Zoroastrian Holy Prayer ending with :" Thy Kingdom Come , Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven " I thought that was a Christian Prayer? What is doing being uttered by the Zoroastrians 1000 years before ? And they believed in One God too? Interesting too , these Christian Scholars completely ignore that Greece was to be settled by Aryans coming from North Indian regions . But it is much nicer and convenient to believe that they came from wicked nasty old Babylon . Buddha simply taught that " all is suffering " his apostles taught the way to end delusions and cope with desires..it was a way for every people on earth to understand , without all the convenient delusional Histories. What he taught was a precious Jewel of self understanding ... that is universal. regards, Mars
