... Dead and the earlier temple texts, have tried to get into the minds of these ancient Egyptians and realised it's something we can't do now. We can't get into their religious mind set.

Now this was said by John, not out of his regard to religion, but out of his most flagrant desire of gain; for he knew that two sextaries were sold with them of Caesarea for one drachma, but that at Gischala ...

... the authenticity of biblical theology. The flood legends of America's natives were of independent origin, because all their other traditions lacked any real resemblance to the biblical account. The religious beliefs of the Mandans resembled those of other Indian tribes. They believed in a multitude of different beings in the heavenly bodies' and sacrificed to these sky gods [ ... find a convincing explanation of the O-Kee-Pa, we only get disappointing answers.
