Unbelievable. How much of this theatre survived in Punjab until industrial age started. Thank you. Now I know where are the roots of naachar, Rasleela shows etc
@@theflame5919 it has to do because Hellenistic scholars expanded on middle eastern astrology and developed hermetic mysticism drawing from Egyptian magic traditions. Alexandria was birthplace of modern misticism
@@mishkosimonovski23 still fail to see what Egyptian and Babylonian religious traditions has to do with Hellenism. I mean, it would be interesting to have similarly deep dive into Babylonian or Egyptian history n culture, on par with this channel focus on the Greek world.. but that would be all together different series.
@@theflame5919 Hellenism was mixing of Greek (European) culture with Oriental culture, sincretism was wide spread... Serapis, Amun-Zeus ect. So Hellenistic Age culture was not purelly Greek. Look up all hermetic alchemic signs on churches, European mistic societies, masonic clubs....many of them use Egyptian symbols.
@@mishkosimonovski23 Hermes Trismegistus (Thoth) which was so influential even in the Renaissance with Ficino and neo Platonism and Pico della Mirandola to name just a few!
