@@subraxas The Greek Hipparchus (190-120 BCE) is considered to be the father of modern, systematic astronomy, though the Babylonians had stargazers 1000 years earlier. The Sumerians used the sun and moon to work out a calendar of the seasons for agriculture by 1200 BC.and used the North Star for navigation.

@@jeromehorwitz2460 Modern astronomy in the western world. Both China and India has astronomical records dating back thousands of years. Native Americans also had their own form of astronomy. They would draw out their maps under water by using the refection of the stars on water. That's why in translation the stars and sky translated to "underworld". Most of the middle eastern paper records were moved to the library of Alexandria so thousands of years of records went up in a poof of smoke.

In the Star Trek series Apollo was only a Demi-God because his worshippers all died off, therefore he got reduced in power. But you are right about him being a full god in Greek mythology.

God means titans

I wish I had double checked that when I made this. I've got another new video coming out in a couple weeks where I mention "Who Mourns for Adonais" that will hopefully give me a chance to redeem myself for mispronouncing it lol

The title derives from a poem by Byron eulogizing Shelley: "I weep for Adonais; he is dead..." and so on. This brings up a few questions: Did Byron mean for the name to be pronounced "A-do-NY-is" to fit the pentametric rhythm? Or Was he employing an archaic, pseudo-classical spelling of "Adonis?" Or Did he simply not know how to spell in the first place? Or Did he intend, as you suggest, for "Adonais" to be a plural of "Adonai?" These questions have been bugging me for fifty years...

The Hebrew God is a composite of the Gods of the area of the older religions. That's why the names are the same as those "pagan" Gods - El, Adonai, Shaddai, etc. Adonai is Adonis/Adon. They are different forms of the same name.

Well some archeological finds suggest Atlantis was an actual city in Africa, just without all aquatics and god powers part

Glad someone addressed the gigantic Olympus sized Elephant in the room

God damn!!! Take a breath!!😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Irrelevant, since you talk about a clearly fake religione. Or maybe you believe that Olympus gods really exist?

@@raffaelecafiero3608 it is not a religion. Therefore it can not be fake. Ancient Greeks did not have a Religion according to the present content and meaning of the term. There is no ancient Greek text in which the term Religion ( i.e. "thriskia" in Greek) may be found. Religion is a term created by priesthood after 600 A.D. ( during the early Byzantine Empire and the era when the Christian gospels were written or compiled) and invested it with 3 main characteristics :a). the existence of a certain book considered as sacred ( e.g. the Holy Book in Christianity or the Quran in Islam) by the followers of that religion . This Holy Book contains symbolical stories, principles or doctrines and opinions or exemplary acts of the historical personality who is considered as the founder of that religion and therefore it is accepted as containing the Word of the Supreme Being or God . b). There is a general promise of saviour at "the end of time" or in the life after carnal death , for those who accept and attempt to follow these principles exposed in the relevant Holy Book, c). there is an organized (usually autocratic ) priesthood having a certain High Priest or Patriarch or Pope or Ayatollah etc., as it's Head, which reserves for itself the supreme right to regulate the orthodoxy of the religious beliefs and consciousness of every follower and other administrative or canonical issues. Such characteristics were not existent in ancient Greece. Therefore there was no religion in ancient Greece with the modern sense of this term due to the lack of these 3 main characteristics of any religion. Even the Greek term " theos" or " theoi" ( nowadays translated as god or gods ) had a very different meaning in ancient Greek . The Greek word "theos" is derived from the ancient Greek verb " theo" which means "flow" and "run" and therefore "theos" meant somebody who flows or can control the flow ( "of energy" , implicitly). All religions are real and holy for their followers and fake for the followers of other religions. But there was no fake religion in ancient Greece , since there was no religion at all. Of course there were temples and statues of gods or goddesses , but they were considered as places for a mental or contemplative contact and communication with an entity active in higher fields or planes of existence ( i.e. the mental and the causal plane) as being a "theos" ( god) or a "thea" ( goddess) and able to control the energy flow of life. No Bible , no autocratic priesthood with centralized administration , no promises of saviour after earthly life.

@@Pterelaos1 we call this a politeistic religion. Also in books It Is called like that. Your academic lesson was unnecessary. A religion does not necessarily have those three characteristics. Where for god's sake did you ready such a bullshit?

That is an interesting question. When Q became human he lost his powers. But did he have all the technological knowledge the Q would possess or did he lose a lot of it too? If Q was assimilated the Borg would know of the existence of Q at least if they didn't already.

@@vanmoody Guanians race was assimilated they knew about the Q. The Borg know who they are also Picard and various other humans.

Then they realise that there are also a lot of Latin as well as germanic🤨

That's your opinion

Uh, no.

Some of the Star Trek movies( not the JJ Abrams movies) deals with the abrahamic religions.

@@seanrosenau2088 EXCUSE ME , what does GOD need with a STARSHIP

Maybe Jesus was an alien. He had no biological father, performed "miracles", and ascended to the heavens (space) after coming back to life. Of course, this idea would anger too many people and wouldn't be shown in any mainstream show or movie, including Star Trek.

@@Michael_ORourke Mind you the accounts of Jesus's life has only been traced to 400 AD, at least three and a half centuries after his alleged existence and much of what was described of his encounters with the Roman Empire should've been recorded in their records but none of it was. The accounts may be of multiple people, the father of a child is often not known especially in lands subjugated by a military force, and very ill people recovering has often been mistaken as a resurrection from death. There is no reason to believe the accounts are of one man or rather avatar, no reason to believe they are of as fantastic occurrences as portrayed and no reason to even believe Jesus was any more than a fabrication to pull in the Hercules mythos just as the church did with the saints to bring in the numerous pagan deities. Jesus doesn't even have to have been an alien, he may very well just be fiction used as propaganda and indeed this is the most likely conclusion especially given how the churches have used the stories of Jesus to manipulate the masses. Even if Jesus had really exist, how the alleged stories of his life may not of been ordained. If anything, the TNG alien who portrayed herself through technology as a deity to match the cultures ancient myths is a more likely outcome for alien involvement with our own religious myths. To be honest, I would trust the oral history of the native Americans more than the biblical accounts that have been edited, selected and rewritten for theologic and political reasons over any sense of stewardship.

Of course, this being Star Trek, the Goa'uld are probably Trill gone rogue.

Byron, I believe; a eulogy for Shelley.

It's called AMBIENCE. Let's see you do anything one one hundredth as good.

By TNG it seems like the Prime Directive is the state religion. Especially when Picard starts waxing poetic about it every other episode. Keep in mind atheist religions exist irl.

As for a god well the Q certainly have the ridiculous power to qualify. Among other comparably powerful species of the Alpha Quadrant.

Ah.... This is fantasy. The stuff of imagination. Even Kirk is imaginary. No comparison to the word of God. But God gave us the ability to imagine things.

Nah, that’s just a retcon in a poor attempt to rewrite earlier beliefs

Care to expound upon that sir?

Star Trek is a police show showing worst case scenario mental health malefactors. Star Trek the Next Generation trashed the physics, psychology and ethos of the older 1960's television show, so much to the point where starships no longer fought at warp speed, and both Klingons and Romulans got their brains swapped. Apollo represents a worst case abuser with bipolar. He has all the trappings of wants and desires given to him, even the beautiful lieutenant, but he's still violently bipolar, which may actually be a psychiatric law enforcement strategy. I grew up with so called mental health experts and behavioral scientists who knew exactly what Trek was about, and probably gave some input to Roddenberry, a former cop. Other examples; Landru is a mental health hospital administrator gone rogue. Garth from third Season "Whom Gods Destroy" is a patient who takes over a hospital. Lazarus has extreme incurable bipolar, and the only solution is to lock him up. The entity from the Metamorph is a woman assigned a man who needs looking after, which is an actual mental health rehab formula by placing the male subject under surveillance. Decker goes mad when he cannot kill a seriall killer, and proof is that he tries the same thing again expecting different results. Ultimately he kills himself. I see a lot of reactions and reviews by fans and non-fans, and they all assigned dramatic or story oriented philosophies and motivations for characters, and then some go on to make garbage fan films not knowing what they're doing. What they don't tell you in film school is that all of Western media (not just the US, but Europe, Japan, even India and Australia, Honk Kong and Taiwan) use psychiatric rehab formulas, or psychological rehabs. You are essentially watching 1950s mental health films presented dramatically with actual dramatic content instead of the antiseptic staging done from those earlier films. Ever wonder why you don't hear or see a music video about .... the presidential race, or putting a stoplight to replace the stop sign at the local intersection? Or why you don't hear a top 40 pop tune about beating Putin in the Ukraine? That's why. The first amendment in the US is games by doctors to "do no harm" with mass media, and so you get a lot of cop and health shows, of which Star Trek is one. It's probably the best written show ever put on TV, but you and others perpetually misinterpret and simply do not know the purpose of today's present day film industry. And that's why your vid is garbage. .@@OrangeRiver
