MythVision explores the history of religion, biblical scholarship, mythology, and ancient texts.
In this episode:The story of Elijah calling down fire from heaven on Mount Carmel is one of the most famous miracles in the Bible. But there is a different story underneath this one. It is about a god who really did answer with fire, a god who died on a pyre and came back, and a god whose sacred mountain was Carmel before Israel ever showed up. In this documentary, we explore how the biblical writers buried the Phoenician god Melqart (later known to the Greeks as Heracles) and gave his signature miracles to Yahweh and Elijah.
