Well, the Israeli are clearly Babylonian/Sumerian in origin. Most of their early mythology is a straight up steal from Sumerian Mythos.
Noah is a straight up lift, even YHWH and the Host of Angels is very similar to the Sumerian God of Light, and the many Demi Gods. And hey, I think Theran Pyramids is funny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) That would be hillarious.. Thera returns to the world in 2080.. with Behemoths, and fire cannons and the height of their t-awesome.. and they go "we're back and we want our world back" And they get met by some euro-war veteran bullyboys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

QUOTE (Draco18s @ Jan 31 2011, 03:41 PM)  Side note: If you replace the word "year" with "moons" you get more reasonable figures (i.e. divide all the numbers by about 12-13; so "700 years" is really only ~58 years). You start to get problems imposing that mentality on the Bible though. For example, at least two people were stated as having children when they were 65 - or about 5 1/2 if you divide by 12-13. I think it best not to dissect history and theology on a forum about Shadowrun. Or to hijack a thread to do so either. EDIT: Math.
