Why did ancient humans believe thunder was angry… or that the sea was a god?
In this explosive episode of MythVision, Dr. Matthew Monger dives deep into the ancient Near East to reveal how natural phenomena—thunder, the sun, death, storms, grain, and even the sea—were personified and worshiped as divine beings.
From the storm god Baal to the sky father Uranus, from Mesopotamian thunder god Adad to sea god Poseidon, we uncover how ancient cultures interpreted the world before science—and how those ideas evolved into monotheism.
We also explore:
- The transformation of natural forces into angels
- The evolution of sacrifice rituals
- The rise of Yahweh and the heavenly council
- Why death itself was once worshiped as a god
- How priesthoods shaped religious texts
This episode challenges the idea that religion descended from heaven—and instead shows how it rose from human fear, awe, and imagination.
If you’ve ever wondered how gods were born… this is the episode you don’t want to miss.
