The Baal Cycle from Ancient Canaanite Mythology
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- This video is a creative production of the story of how Baal became king of the Canaanite pantheon. This myth was discovered on tablets in the ancient Canaanite city of Ugarit in Syria. The translation for this video was used from "Stories From Ancient Canaan" by Michael D. Coogan and Mark S. Smith.
Ancient people did not always leave behind labeled
statues of their gods; therefore, we cannot know exactly
how Baal, El, Asherah, etc. were meant to look.
However, all figures and artifacts in this production
are from Bronze Age and Iron Age Syria and Israel and
therefore offer a fairly good representation of how
the ancient Canaanites saw their world.

Thanks, it's a nice video, and I really don't get it why there are so many weird or unpleasant comments here. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I appreciate that ! :) ..... at least even the negative comments help with the algorithm, lol
@@AprilLynnDowney yeah, well, there's that. 🤣 Maybe I've stumbled onto it thanks to them, now there's a thought!
what a beautifully and ethically produced video (all sources carefully cited)! I am just learning about the links between Israeli and Canaanite religions, and I have been surprised by the many comparisons to Hindu mythologies! for example, I was struck by the similarities between Anat and Kali, both with bloodthirsty vengeance and depicted with severed hands attached to a belt around the waist!
Thank you! :)
This is the way the stories in all types of religious mythology should be treated. That very much holds true for the religions prevalent today, and not just the religious traditions of long ago . These stories are the poetry of the spirit. Taking any such stories as literally true, as prose, robs them of their poetic and spiritual power, and degrades them into dogma.

It's different when you witness things.
It's nice to be able to learn about the original Semetic gods prior to the rise of Judaic monotheism. Now, we get to glimpse at Yahweh/El's (Or the god who lead to his development) extended family and lore as seen by the people who initially developed it. Baal gets a lot of hate in the Bible, so seeing him in a non biased light is refreshing.
both Baal and the land of Cannan get a lot of hate in the bible. But why? My assumption was always that Yahweh was originally Yam who was an enemy of the Cannanite pantheon and wanted revenge for being kicked out. Thus Yahweh wanted the gods and the people of Cannan annihilated.
Cordial, but non apologetic worshiper of Yahweh here :) I would say, Yahweh's extended family is very present in the biblical text. And his rule over them. As well as deep seated interplay and reply against Baal, Ashura, and the other gods which the Bible at no time denies but which Christians ( I cannot speak for the other two abrahamic religions) and non christian folks alike are rarely aware. They blithely mistake the carved image for the god. I do not blame them. Most everyone raised Christian got a readers digest biblical narrative that then further got diluted by lack of comprehension and retention of even the abbreviated narrative. If I could summarize what I got from my upbringing it was God had a people who went bad, and rejected their Messiah and the son of God, Jesus Christ and now we get to be in God's family and not go to hell if we choose him. While that isn't untrue, it's so oversimplified and sanitized.
The Scriptures are written to Israelites from an Israelite perspective. Yahuah...proper make isn't El. Canaanite deities are Hammitic anyway. Shemetic* would indicate from Shem. Anyway, Baal and the others are enemies because they tried/try to usurp the Creator. They are forever enemies. Learn up. Hebrews are/were Henotheistic. You'll learn a lot by actually reading...but then again, the books aren't written to you.
@@LaTaurusHarrison Dude, I don't get what's the hullabaloo, nor do I fully understand the word salad you wrote.
All Im saying is that this helps us understand the god character within the Hebrew and Aramaic scriptures more fully. Or at least understand from which deities he is an amalgamation of. By understanding his original historical context.
Through archeology, genetic and linguistic research (Done by Israeli academics and archeologists) it's generally agreed that historically, the Hebrews were just another faction of the indigenous Canaanite population, which is related to other Semetic peoples of the ancient near east (Akkadian,Arramaic, Chaldean) Consequently, they initially inherited both pantheon and cosmology of their Canaanite forbearers, which was diluted over time due to the rise of monolatry and later monotheism due to exposure to Zoroastrianism after the Babylonian exile.
Throughout the centuries, Hebrew scriptures have been purged of much of it's polytheistic flavor due. So, in my opinion, it's refreshing to see the god of the Bible in his original place within a wider pantheon.
And the fact that "The books weren't written for me" should not deprive myself or anyone of being able to appreciate the historicity of this vid.
Here's a vid on more on the original pantheon.

@@tantibusdraws6165 The problem is that there is always more archaeology being dug up. Like with science, it just keeps growing.
just looking for info on Baal and this came up/ An interesting story, the narrator's voice is soft but relaxing to listen to.
Thank you so much! :) I have other narrated mythologies on my channel too if you care to check them out
Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japeth. Ham slept with his father's wife, impregnating her. She gave birth to a son named CANAAN whom Noah cursed. Canaan swore an oath to do naught but evil, vile, perverse things and swore to destroy the descendants of Shem, and all his descendants, the CANAANITES, swore this oath also.
Awesome! As a Christo-pagan myself, it feels nice to hear about the Canaanite gods, my ancestors worshipped them once. I hope more people know more about the Elohim.
Thank you! If you haven't checked it out yet, you might enjoy my video on the Babylonian creation epic: ua-cam.com/video/5fsHM6uhVss/v-deo.html
as a WHAT
Christo pagan ?
..you do know you're still going To hell right?
Hey man that's cool and all but honestly The most high is still the only one who should ever be worshipped...
I am working on a comic book project for school about Lord Baal and the canaanite fods, this video is being very usefull to remind me of the crucial aspects of his myth, a delightfull video indeed
Thanks! Good luck on your project, sounds interesting!

I started working on it.
I have the plot and I am working on the character designs
What serious Bible student can't see the parallels and same phrasing as in the OT? Rider on the clouds, El, 7 day process? The roots of monotheism are indeed in polytheism, not some unique revelation given apart from prior deities. Thank you for this work.
Happy you enjoyed it! :) If you enjoy religious studies, you can follow my UA-cam and my blog at www.aprildowney.blogspot.com . More is coming!.... Happy holidays!
I just finished the Enuma Elish, the Babylonian creation epic. I think you'll enjoy it :) ua-cam.com/video/5fsHM6uhVss/v-deo.html
The Hebrew Bible never actually says there is only one god. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob often says He only wants his chosen to worship only Him, not those other gods, and especially not Baal.
Yes, indeed!
@@bellstonemerriwetherrivens3344 what’s difference from Baal and Yahweh seeing they share the same attributes as The God Israel?
This channel is exactly what I've been looking for. The other videos I've seen on these topics are 6+ years old and the channels don't upload anymore! You just got a subscriber
Yo why did baal have sex with a cow wtf
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the rest of the adventures :) I just uploaded another video about mythology: ua-cam.com/video/5fsHM6uhVss/v-deo.html Have a great day!
lol no idea! The text didn't say! Bizarre how many times this comes up in mythology though.
That was great. At the end I could almost hear a Bronze Age child asking, “Why does it rain?” 🤣 “Well, child, let me tell you…”
Happy you enjoyed! and yes, I see it too :)
I Love hearing you read these ancient stories. Your voice is enchanting..
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! :)
when the Gods were proper gods lovely rendition thank you
gods or the fallen. Or ancient aliens
This is great, if love to hear more mesopotamian stories. Crazy how hard it is to find full narratives online for stories that existed thousands of years before trademarks.
Also quick question, Baal's enemy Sea, is that his name or is he literally the personification of the sea, or both?
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it! I have other stories on my channel, maybe check them out when you have a minute? ..... So, the Canaanite word for "sea" is "yam" (or, "yamm"), so Yam / Sea is his name, but it also literally means "sea". El is the head of the pantheon but "el" also just means "god". Baal is a god, but "baal" also means "master". When I made the video, I thought it would be clearer just to use Sea instead of Yam, but you'll see it both ways, depending on how one wants to translate it.
Interesting fact "El" is in the name of Israel which the country's name is believed to have originated from.
Is for isis and ra for sun god too. Is ra el
@@janeslater8004 interesting
Israel means to struggle with God. Jacob struggled with God and thus received the nickname Israel. His descendants became the People of Israel
@@GorelAbramsson Jacob struggled with El apparently.
"believed to have originated from"??
It's not up for debate lol. The nation Israel comes from the name Israel, it's not like it's a "close match", it's an exact match that is well documented in many many historical records and artifacts.
The name El, meaning God, is found in MANY names. Daniel, Elijah, Elohim, Eloha, Ezekiel, Joel....
El being in Israel's name is not particularly abnormal; it is pretty standard as far as naming conventions go.
There is no deep connection or mystery behind El being in Israel. It's just standard name for the time. Just like the name Johnson has the word Son in it. It's not because the Johnson family has some mysterious hidden history... But rather, that's just a normal name.
"Long ago, when the world was a stage"
Last time I checked the world hasn't changed much.
New names, new faces but the world is
still a stage but you can say it's in it's last stage
Last stage? The earth is going to be here until our sun finally dies in 5-10 billion years. We’ll all be long gone and forgotten by then.
I mean... Anat did a lot.. wow. Thank you for sharing this amazing story!!
Thanks, so happy you enjoyed it! I have other similar videos on my channel you might like :) .... and yes, Baal is always given credit as the victor but Anat saved his tush!
This was amazing. I've been wanting to learn about the Baal Cycle, so this video id perfect. Thank you so much for making this!
Thank you, so happy you enjoyed it! I have other ancient near eastern mythology videos like this one on my channel if you're interested
Look into Jonathan Kahn, a Jew turned Christian who has a series of books including current ba hal worship and prophecy.
Thank you for narrating this, tho I'd like to point out that Sea, River and Death had Canaanite names.
The god of the Sea's name was Yam, though he would also be called "River" which in canaanite was Nahr (still used as the arabic word for river today).
Death's name was Mot, which is also the word for death in modern day arabic. Cheers!
Thanks! I did learn those names before but had decided to simplify it for the video. However, my latest mythology video on the Enuma Elish has a lot more original names and some historical explanation about them after it. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/5fsHM6uhVss/v-deo.html

@@baalhadad6297 yahweh was also the pagan God and son of Asherah
You are right mate agree with you...
And I thought Christian Bale just fought the Joker.
You’re right 😂 this is Canaanite bale! Christian’s older brother!
@@TheBibleHistoryShownot really. It's totally a different religion. Though theorically it's the same god(and the image of the Abrahamic god we tend to picture is related to the image of El: an old man sat on a throne in a Celestial Palace above all), the concept of Christianity of the god is totally different,they made him a "new god". Do you get it?
lol you missed the joke
I find these God's names fascinating because some of them are found in different languages in Africa Kenya.
For example, Moloch is same as Mulochi in Luhya which means a witch, while Luos still use Yahweh/Yahwah as shock word. El is also in use among Nilo-Hamite at Mount EL-Gon in Western Kenya. My own Maragoli we used to worship or offer sacrifices to a God called "Asahi." And I found Asahi in the Coptic dictionary and ancient people of Persia.
in some languages God means Devil he that is rejected is the Son of God
This is so fascinating! There might be some coincidences in these homonims, but it could be that some of these come from the influence of ethiopic christians! The Ethiopic Church still has some elements that both European Churches and Judaism let go, like the book of Enoch, so it could be that elements like these also survived! As for Moloch, he was a version of Baal worshipped in North Africa, and his cult was widely demonized by christians, so it might come from there...
Thank so very much for sharing this info with us!
Baal also is existed in Somalia.example
Of somali.uurku baalle.baalcad.
baale or baal .is God of information. Who knows everything in the world.and no one can hide truth
Because he's knows already .baalcad.means the one who serves for baale .urku baale means when u tell something to someone. Than said.i agree I know it .as well
Than u say. Are you urku baale?
As one has your information already
Also labo baale is normally somali name used .means person who has two baal.also baal is used for flying .like.baalasha shimbirta.or the baal of 🐦 bird. Today Somalia is 100% Muslim country
Manshalhh.
But I don't of English word
Same meaning.. Greetings

We've had a one world religion for thousands of years.
Great video! Very interesting! I subscribed.
Thank you! :)
Worship of the idol Ba'al was a horrible. One of the statues of him had his arms stretched out in front of him. A fire was built around the base of the idol. Them the "priests" of Ba'al would lay infants in the idol's arms. There, the baby's would burn to death. Sacrificed to appease an idol. What kind of "god" asks that of the're followers?
No one asked for it. The myths and religions come from the mystery schools. They deified energy and conflated man with the all then demonized it to hide it.
This!
Same with a cult that raped and killed millions and if you dont serve this leader the worst after death will come to you
There's something in the bible about smashing the skulls of infants against rocks if they're seen as enemies of "God" so there's that.
Yahweh, Wōðanaz (Maybe), Dionysos, i’m forgetting more, but these are the three that come to my head, writing this comment.
The Catholic Church, Jews, and Muslims still unknowingly worship these ancient gods!
Or knowingly !!
@ yet you face, bow, pray, pilgrimage, and encircle the BLACK CUBE of SATURN (Kaaba) aka El aka Allah. Allah spellle ALIF LAM LAM HA. ALIF LAM Being the same is ALEF LAMED to spell EL who is Saturn or a Sumerian god. You SHUT UP!!!
Great video, what was the music you used for the background?
I just liked how Baal before he was done talking, he had to ask if she um, you wanna do, yeah, no okay what do you want?
After that he wouldn't go to the underworld until he got done with some cows.
Baal was the god of giggity, in the worst way.
Good video, I learned more about the Baal myth than I ever have. The video was good, it could use something, I don't know what, but at least come back to this video again.
I don't know enough about this subjet to give out tips or criticism about this video, but I liked it.
It does need work, but the subjet and presentation kept me watching, so good job.
I would watch more.
thank you! I have other mythology videos on my channel, please check them out and possibly subscribe! (This is my first video so the sound is better on some of the later ones.)
I hate when people pronounce Ba'al "bale". Also, the narration was too fast.
*Cope*
You can change the speed of the video to 0.75x
I was super interested in this, but turning up the volume enough to hear means the music crescendos to shocking loudness. I could power through it if I didn't have neighbors.
Tough break, as 99% of videos on the subject are put out by nutjobs.

This is too soft to hear, even at full volume with headphones

Holy crap, this is where the gnostics got their crap.
It shows up in many religions. I noticed someone talking about how kundalini in yoga used to be seen as existing above and below the heart, and the objective of early practitioners seemed to be to bring energy down and up to the heart for expression. In modern practice, the guy said, it’s only uncoiled from below toward the head. The relentless upward flow of energy is an impulse toward disembodiment. I read that then in a timely coincidence found out a friend who taught yoga shot herself dead. I don’t the guy talking about the energy flows made the connection I did, but it did remind me of gnostics thinking math and science are just the perfected studies of the inherently flawed matter of the universe. Creepy.
Most religions have evolved from previous ones and/or have been influenced by others. I don't know a lot about gnosticism, but it would not surprise me.
great content. I am agnostic currently studying the bible with a yahweh loving sorta Christian friend. cant even get her to look at this stuff, when u look at akkad, sumer, babylonian, egyptian mythologies all the dots r connected its clear as day where the Abrahamic religions came from. any advice on how to introduce these sources and materials to someone thats deeply religious in a way that they wont immediately dismiss it
Thanks! More is coming so don't forget to subscribe! :) .... as far as your friend goes, I would ask yourself first why you feel she needs to hear about this stuff? I used to believe the Bible was perfect and was a strong Christian. Over the years, my studies have pulled me away from that. I am ok now, but it was a painful process so I am not quick to make anyone else go through that until they are ready. If they are ready to be open minded, then they'll be ready and you'll probably know when conversations come up. If they are not ready, then nothing you can say will really "help", it may only cause bad feelings. I have a strong urge to tell people the things I learn about (for a few reasons) and often have to hold myself back because not everyone needs to go through what I went through and not everyone is ready. However, I would say the best way to breach the subject with your friend is just by telling her things YOU find interesting for you, stuff you are learning about. She can piece together what's important to her beliefs if her curiosity is piqued enough and she feels unthreatened. Make it about YOUR journey, not what you're trying to pull her into. Good luck!
My latest video has been uploaded! It is the Babylonian creation epic. Definitely some serious links to Genesis in this one . ua-cam.com/video/5fsHM6uhVss/v-deo.html
I would say that nine of this needs to be threatening to a Christian either. Even in thw new testament Jesus claims "ye are gods". Christianity was never monotheistic until the councils made by the Roman emperors forced it that way. Also, I feel that a persons Christian faith should be enhanced by the connections to the other faiths around it. If the world really came from Noah, then all the religions should sound similar from the beginning. If they didnt, then my ears would perk up more. Similarity is actually evidence for its possible truthfulness.
@@drewhanna9057 Makes no sense at all, the gods archetype seems to come out of ancient Sumer at least our earliest known gods. All the ancient near east Mediterranean early pantheons appear very similar in my opinion through simple process of converging and diverging ideas they are trying to answer the same questions with primitive understanding of our world hence major similarity yet distinct differences. Personally I side with a sorta mixed fragmentary and documentary hypothesis throw in some folk tales n poems, ideas and theologies converging and diverging Judaism is born. Then take Judaism add heavy Hellenistic influences wrap it up in mysticism/Gnosticism u get early Christianity. The theology and cannon is hammered out over 21 ecumenical councils, most famous being 1st council of Nicaea which focused most on Arianism vs trinitarianism. Along comes the enlightenment era more and more people wake up to absurdity of religious traditions theologies, Science logos and reason are the real truth that sets u free from religious dogma and allows humanity to come to together instead of fragmenting into innumerable sects and religions all in competition with each other
@@manbearpig3507 it makes more sense if its not on a quick youtube comment. But if the bible is at all accurate about some of the miraculous events, if everyone at the tower of Babel was so united that even God himself said that he had to smite their language or they could reach into heaven, then you would come out with a bunch of very similar groups that have completely differing language that gets more diverse over time and distance from the epicenter. What I am saying and what you are saying both make sense, just from a different paradigm. My point is that if you choose to not believe in God, these things are evidence against Christianity, but if you choose to believe, it is evidence for it.
This sounds very... Old Testament. 🤔
The Old Testament is the (at the time) modernization of the polytheistic Semitic people , gods became demons

Is the small figurine of a man with partial arms and something on his stomach (1:40) supposed to represent a mutilated/sacrificed human to Baal or was that suppose to be Baal himself? I was wondering if the lump in the chest area is supposed to represent his internal organs hanging out? In Mexico at the Temple of the Sun pyramid site they were doing the same thing and there were stone carvings of sacrificial mutilations.
The figure at that timestamp is meant to represent Kothar-wa-Khasis, and I found the figure on the Metropolitan Museum of Art's online collection. They just have it labeled "smiting god figure", Middle Bronze Age, Northern Syria.

@@AprilLynnDowney What are you talking about.
@@michaelslocum9177 You said "Even the Elect will be fooled if possible" which is from the Bible. So I was asking if you were part of the "elect" or not. If you are, you can be fooled. If you are not, why quote the "elect's" bible?
So 'Baal' became 'lord', like 'caesar' became 'kaiser'.
I think it's the opposite. Baal meant "lord" first and was after revered as the name of the main god
Yes. The oeiginal ugaritic word Baal then turned into a title for later deities.
Well, following Latin pronunciation, Caesar IS pronounced like the German Kaiser. Remember the Germans said they were Romans inheritors, so their leader was named like Romans ones, Kaiser. (Ceasar)
you forgot to mention the child sacrifice that baal wanted.

So then I have only one question mostly the beginning part. Who are the older gods that El overthrew? Are they not mention or was that part of history destroyed?
Excellent question! We do not know for *sure* if El had overthrown older gods, but that is a common theme throughout Mesopotamian mythology. We also know that religions evolve and gods are replaced and renamed. However, I do find it interesting that El is also called The Bull and there were bull cults in the Near East in far ancient times, even as far back as the Neolithic period. For an example, check out the bull motifs found in Catalhoyuk!

Thats a lot of story telling but who built Baalbek, who ever did it deserves to be a god I think Baal was not a demon god , what I think is it was the people that corrupted the name Baal, maybe by the time they worshiped Baal he was gone ,he built the platform used it for thousands of years and left, then the people worshiped a memory, cause there's no mention that Baal answered Yahweh threat, Baal was gone! The temple mound also has a platform, who built that one? Just like the Nazis corrupted the swastika so to the people corrupted the memory of Baal who is ever he was

* They Messed up the whole Things Up and made themselves The only God to be worshiped . But that mentality of One God didn't even exist when ANU had Control of earth .
* Enlil and Ishukur made themselves into :Yahweh of Judaism: you can Check: {Exodus 3 : The Lord and his angel or Job 2 : Yahweh and his Satan or When David fall into their Trap by Counting Israelite Families 😂😂 it was Just Enlil and his son Iskur's Games : To Terrolise Israelite so that they never worship any other Passive Gods } and Then also The Moon God: Nannar made himself into Allah of Islam and they Conquered All the Land which was Given to Enki's Descendents : Just becouse Enki and Marduk and other Gods had gone back to their Planets and Left their Descendents as King on Earth .
Sumerians vedics all the oldest religious texts describe beings that came from the stars often depicted as giants or strange semi humanoids. So who knows maybe there is something to it. Maybe we were created by aliens who we worshipped as gods and we over time became trouble or useless and eventually they left or simply died themselves. Wouldn't be the strangest idea really considering believing an invisible man in the clouds exists.
The Hebrew God most likely came from the elder God El as they share they same name.
That is a common theory. There is some debate over it though because "el" also literally means "god". I did a research paper on the names El Shaddai and YHWH - I may turn it into a video. Subscribe to stay tuned!
@@laughingatmybrokenheart then why do so many Jewish names start with the word El?🤔 Genetically speaking cannanites and Israelites are pretty much identical also. It is theorized that Israelites are the remnants of canaanites who fled the cities up to the hill country upon the arrival of the sea peoples AKA the philistines.
@@laughingatmybrokenheart exactly it was Babylonian mystery school systems promoted buy Cush and Nimrod in attempt to go against the Most High
@@laughingatmybrokenheart you're obviously talking more about religious opinions lol. I'm talking more about archeological and historical facts. They've found canaanite God figurines in both Israel and Judah. It was happening often since very early in Israelite and Judean traditions. Most likely because that was their original religion and they slowly went away from it but it was a long dragged out process. What they did was take the canaanite God who was most high, El, and made him their sole God and that's how monotheism was most likely created.
@@AprilLynnDowney I like the theory that El was the G-d of the Northern Kingdom and their “folk history” revolved around the Exodus narrative. While YHWH was the G-d of the Southern Kingdom and their folk history revolved around the Patriarch narrative. Then when the Northern Kingdom fell to the Assyrians and the middle & upper classes fled to Jerusalem and drastically increasing its population, the scribes combined El & YHWH via the narrative of G-d (El) revealing to Moses his “real name” (YHWH). And then combined the Patriarchal narrative with the Exodus narrative. The driving force behind this “reconciliation” could’ve been to consolidate power, as well as promoting solidarity among the population (which is needed when facing hostile, foreign threats).
Baal is the god of fertility fighting against the god of impotency, aka the politician. All these are just stories to help you understand the battles going on inside of you. No word in any language can ever represent divine power.
So, the "politician" must be the brain? Doesn't the brain have the capability to think for itself? Hence the saying "don't let it go to your head"
Interesting thought! You might enjoy Dr. Jordan Peterson's biblical lecture series. He explains how biblical stories and other myths are manifestations of psychological truths about being human.
@@AprilLynnDowney bible is not a myth lmao. Yeshua was real and performed miracles all of these religions are connected every single religion is occult besides christianity. It can all be linked to the NWO and whats going on right now. Thats not to say the bible was changed in translation to a degree but these arent myths.

Baal and interactions from other recognized gods of old is a fascinating and foundational subject. The technical people who worked on this project diminished the quality of the narration with the volume of their background music so that fully 40% of the video cannot be heard. I think the video has much promise if the background entertainment is removed!
Thanks for the feedback! I actually produced the entire video myself - it's my very first one! Check out my channel for other similar videos, with better audio.
@@AprilLynnDowney sorry but disagree with the music part, keep it ... but yea lower it and sound effects
@@absolutelyfookinnobody2843 yes this is my first video. I feel i improved the audio in the others - you should check them out! I did a similar videos on the Enuma Elish, Erashkigal and Nergal, and Atrahasis and well as other genres.
All of this symbols actually show that no matter where you live and what age you're leaving in you want to worship something .
It's like it's rooted deep down in humankind and because there's answer for any need in mankind there should be a god and god can't be 2 or 3 because god is exist and there's only one existence so god is one but when people seeking their needs if there's no one to lead them they get help from their imaginations and they will create symbols like Baal so god send massanger and prophets to show us the path of Truth
I think that's changed slightly. Before, mysticism was the most logical answer to how the the world works and came into being. But modern scientific discoveries pretty clearly show that most religions are, if not wrong, certainly don't match the existence we observe around us. Previously, monks and religious scribes were the only ones that could read, but nowadays you'll find scientific minds are majority atheist, and over the centuries it's spread into society at large. Notice how very few governments are Monarchies any more: hard to justify your authority is given to you by god when most of your subjects don't believe in that god.
You know your religion is just an offshoot of older beliefs, the stories in the Bible are stories from much older beliefs. The only difference is that you chose on “God” as ruler and marked all others as demonic. Lol
music screws the pooch... would love to hear the words, music means have to play it back, too frustrating

Where is the story come from what book
"Stories From Ancient Canaan" by Michael D. Coogan and Mark S. Smith.
Thank you for this text for me Im not worshipper but try to understand history of religion and by more humble in my life histories about gods give me peace . greatings
Happy you enjoyed it! I have other mythologies on my channel you might enjoy as well :) have a good evening!
The statues you show don't actually depict the gods that you are narrating. Why is El with an atef crown representing Mot?
I couldn't find specific statues for all the characters so I used ambiguous ones from the same culture and time. The one representing Mot (Death) is labeled on the Metropolitan Museum of Art's website as a Canaanite "smiting god", from the 15-14th century BCE. It was not labeled as El.
I am very sorry for what you might have had to read in this comment section...
All you wanted to do was sharing a lesser known myth from a long lost and fascinating culture of wich we still know so little...
And then a massive bunch of weirdos, who can't distinguish their faith from archeology, wrote all these nonesensical comments.
You literally did nothing different from what other channels sharing myths from greece, egypt etc did, but because of the general ignorance an bias about this specific culture you were forced to read such cringe and even people condeming you for doing literally nothing wrong...
I literally cringed while scrolling thru this comment section , its abnoctious...
Thank you, I appreciate that.... if you like mythology, check out the rest of my channel - I got more! :) Have a great day!
@@AprilLynnDowney As a criticism, the audio balance needs work. Sometimes I could not hear the narration over the background music. The narration is fine if monotone at times. Like OP said, most people in the comments are schizos needing to mad about something. All that said, nice work.
@TheCh33ks thanks! And agreed! This was my first video and the audio wasn't great. Hopefully I've gotten better over the years.
You should also check out esoteric rain on youtube, she talks about Baal & his folks as well. She also goes a bit in depth on the diety jehovah. Anyway it was a nice video you did & I am glad Baal is getting more recognition.
Can we understand the story to be true and accurate and not a myth?
Believing whether it's true or not is up to the individual, but the term "myth" technically doesn't mean something is not true. A myth simply means a religious story. We use the word casually to mean something not true but academically it doesn't need to be.
No it's edited
Gods represent the collective conciousness, folk spirits.

woah.... whats the song
It is "Emotional Ambient Soundscape" by Allen Grey www.allengreymusic.com
@@AprilLynnDowney much appreciated
3:30....isn't Kali described in a way similarly to this? Hands and heads and walking in blood?
Yes, Kali is often shown with a necklace of body parts
Yes.
But the two deities are clearely distinct in many other aspects.
Both in personality and appearence.
While they are both fierce female deities, Anat is described as more violent and unhinged, lovingly killing humans as if they were wild animals to hunt.
That makes sense since she was the goddess of war and conquest.
Kāli is described as the most primal and fierce form of Devi.
She is just as violent as Anat, but not against humans per se.
Usually it's against demons or beings who are a threat to the order of the universe
She is one of the most revered hindu deities, and she is described as awe ispiring and terrifing, yet mercifull, compassionate and motherly.
Her worshippers are described as if they were her children.
She is basically a protective mama-bear mother goddess on steroids.
But yes.
They are very symilar in appearence
I live in New hampshire, in the town of Salem there is a Stonehenge I heard it was build for baal, Salem is right above Salem Massachusetts I wonder if it has something to do with freemasons or witch's
Wow! That sounds interesting! I've never heard of that before; I'd like to look into it. Thanks!
@@AprilLynnDowney someone in the comments said it was carved in the stone that it was for the goat God baal.i think baal is really about the Annukni because they had horns on there head.and some were both man and female, but the place in Salem n.h. just Google Stonehenge in Salem n.h. it comes right up.look on map how close each Salem is to each other its like 10 mins by car maybe 15
The Salem witch trials weren't even about actual witches. They burned people who were ACCUSED and it was usually someone who didn't like them or thought they were weird because they didn't follow the puritanical ways of the mainstream.
How many Gods ride on clouds ☁️?
A god of storms / thunder is a common archetype throughout world mythology. However, specifically riding on clouds, both God in the Bible and Baal are described as riding on clouds.

womp womp.
"El" is Spanish for "the".
What's this song it's very beautiful. Also, isn't baal the God of baby sacrifice?
The music is "Emotional Ambient Soundscape" by Allen Grey.... as far as baby sacrifice, that is a much debated topic. I'd have to do some more research on that. Thank you for listening!
When you are in a genocidal war against Israëlites, and your children might be killed anyway, you may do desperate things.
That's Molech
@@Canaanitebabyeater molech is a type of sacrifice not a deity
@@buuku8457 Yeah it comes from mlk and doesn't use "the Elohim," meaning it isn't a deity. No Canaanite deity is a god of child sacrifice despite it being present in certain circumstances. Molech is attributed to baby sacrifice in modern culture, so I just brought it up.

*Isaiah 45:5-7*
"I am the LORD, and there is none else,
there is no God beside Me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known Me:
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me.
I am the LORD, and there is none else.
I form the light, and create darkness:
I make peace, and create evil:
I the LORD do all these things.
Drop down, ye heavens, from above,
and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open,
and let them bring forth salvation,
and let righteousness spring up together;
I the LORD have created it."
The difference between the Living God, the Creator of heavens & the earth, and these mythical deities that the canaanites served and worshipped, is that they are not living, they are stories and lore and dead idols created by the hands of sinful men.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is and always has been.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
These little gods mentioned in this video are not holy... they are profane.
*Psalm 115:3-8*

the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
They that make them are like unto them;
so is every one that trusteth in them.

*Psalm 135:13-18*
Thy name, O' LORD,
endureth for ever; and Thy memorial,
O' LORD, throughout all generations.
For the LORD will judge His people,
and He will repent Himself concerning His servants.
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
They have mouths, but they speak not;
eyes have they, but they see not; They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
They that make them are like unto them:
so is every one that trusteth in them.

Even more interesting when you consider that one of the names of God is Elohim
Yes, Elohim is the plural Hebrew word for "gods" . El is singular ("god"). Often times the pronoun linked with Elohim in the Bible is also plural (I forget if it is every time). So therefore, technically the text refers to multiple gods, but it is often translated as singular or interpreted to be either the royal "we" or that God is speaking about his angels in Heaven with him.

Then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period (40 days) and then he becomes like a piece of flesh for a similar period ..." (Also read 4.430, 8.594, and 4.550)

86:6-7 He is created from a drop emitted - proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs.
The evidence confirms this in the "love and saucers" documentary!! Pay attention close to the paintings !! And the testimony of touching the babies.
The craziest thing is If you study much more about Baal, you're going to see similarities to Ellil the summeriam god of storm, and even more if you star to see the parelels to Ishtar and Innanna.
The crazy thing is that a lot of the "Demons" talked on the bible are old summeriam, Babylonians gods.
EA the highest entity on the panteon could be called Satan in the bible, as Baal is an aspect of Beelzebub, similar to Mollok in this idea, if I'm correct
@@yosef4974 Yes, there was - always has been across the world - a lot of both religious syncretism and demonization of foreign religions. Another example is in the Enuma Elish.

Baal began as a harvest seasons festival, then a bit later newborns and children began being sacrificed and still later it got to the point where the younger teens and young adults began using the festivals for wild orgies. They would dress in veils, mask and long robes where no one could identify them at these parties. They would then exchange sex with multiple partners while nobody knew one from the other.
Poem writings, stories and elaborate idols came into these festivals which are compared with modern role playing festivities and parties. Idols had value, often were traded, used for actual money and given as gifts. Many modern scholars compare these festivals as being no different than modern Teens having Halloween parties.
Gobblins as Gods, treats, beer and wine then there where elaborate stories of myth, ghost, zombies, vampires, deception, war and romance shared in a crypt, tomb, catacomb or cemetery while drinking intoxicants before the fun began.
The Harvest Moon.....In fact Halloween is suspected to have been a direct carry over of these pagan festivals. Teens and young adults back then had no Television, radio, or internet so they stuck close and invented their own fun and games.
@@AprilLynnDowney simple. My personally belief is that there’s only one god to worship creator of all things. Anything else is false. Just like if I were to start preaching to people that you are a God they would simply believe and start to worship you. They’re false no matter what people wanna make you think and they only relative because people make them, talks about them, worshiping them etc. people who are lost and always want to see rather than believe are the easiest to give these idols power. Every time they want to worship Baal some form of that idol was created. I mean it’s too much to write but I hope you get a sense of where I’m coming from. These conversations are better in person.

It is distinguished from symbolic behaviour (cult, ritual) and symbolic places or objects (temples, icons). Myths are specific accounts of gods or superhuman beings involved in extraordinary events or circumstances in a time that is unspecified but which is understood as existing apart from ordinary human experience. The term mythology denotes both the study of myth and the body of myths belonging to a particular religious tradition."
