Thoughts on Legends

There are lots of ancient cultures, religions, myths, and legends in our world today that were past from our ancestors. In many books, like Dan Brown's book and other books about Percy Jackson, authors use these allusions and myths to propel a storyline. If you read these books, you must critically think about what is true and what is false about the ancient stories that are mixed into the modern day novels.

When reading, the different books, I found that the stories are interesting. Like the Egyptian gods. Did the cultures really see these gods or were they made up to keep people from living in fear? Also, was the bible just made up or was it written by people 400 years after Jesus's death? I am a big fan of history channel's documentary on culture and it makes me really question the ideas of our history. There are some extremely false and unscientific concepts on the documentaries, like lizard men using brain control. Other than that, there are somethings like gods being extraterrestrials or that people saw the gods because of the ritual use of psychedelics. These weird ideas can be interesting and thought provoking.
