And that's just in my own back yard. We've not even looked at other ancient 'pagan' faiths including some biggies such as Zoroastrianism, Shinto or Buddhism.

True indeed. Those who write the history books control the representation.


Just for the sake of clarification, Lal, my comments pertained to Norse mythologies only. Also to clarify my point, I don't see where the statement that a world view is pessimistic necessarily means it lacks sophistication or is uncultured. Far from it! I personally find Norse myths incredible.

Okay, back to the regularly scheduled topic ...
