That’s a cool thought.

Same with Julius Caesar, Nebuchadnezzar, Christopher Columbus, Henry VIII, Copernicus, Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Ptolemy.

Really anybody famous could have their image embellished back before the widespread ability to read and write. (Some folks listed above may not have lived in a time of illiteracy, but it was hard to think of a list of historical characters lol.)

I was about to say, a lot of those guys we have letters, manuscripts, diaries and such to tell what happened lol. (Julius Caesar and Napoleon specifically. Alexander the Great I haven’t studied as much.)

I mean, it’s pretty well documented how awful Christopher Columbus was. Even in the context of the time period: he was arrested in the new world and shipped back to Spain for a trial because he was so ruthless in his treatment of the native peoples. The myths about him being a ‘great man’ are all only like 100 years old.

I figure it was an argument of “my legendary tribal chief was SOOO great, he…”

Which led into a conversation of “Which super hero would win?”.

My tribes legendary chief was so great, he made bread, wine, and fish, just when everyone needed it… He is so wonderful they tried to kill him, but he came back three days later, not even sick.

It’s because he’s part super hero, you should hear about his dad. People were so loyal to his dad they’d almost sacrifice their own children to him. He was so great he’ll save us, you’ll see.

I mean, yeah…

The Bible wasn’t some dude writing stuff down. It’s a bunch of dudes over centuries writing stuff down, and doesn’t include everything.

It was commone with the pre-christian religions for myths to work like that, and as Christianity co-opted different parts of those earlier religions to make conversion easier, people.kept making up stories about Jesus or saints like people used to make up stories about Zeus or Hercules.

If Jesus’s 20s weren’t conspicuously absent, it prob would have been pretty close to Chuck Norris. Just because those stories didn’t stick around, doesn’t mean they never existed.

A lot of what was written about Jesus was done hundreds of years when he allegedly lived, but done in a way that appears to be written at the same time he was alive. Do he’s really more of a shit post that people thought was real.
