True Mythology

Speculation by Chris Bunton

It’s been my belief for a while now that a lot of what has been deemed “mythology”, is in fact history.

I think that what happens is that the oral history becomes corrupted, and that one must look at what is actually being said.

It’s like the old game where a story is told to a person and then it’s repeated to each person in the room. And by the time it gets back to the original story teller the tale has changed.

Consider this over thousands of years. Not only that, but consider that humans were different, long ago. Consider that the nature of our world was different.

Perhaps humans were in greater connection to the natural and spiritual world.

Perhaps things have happened to the world and humans that has altered us and it.

Maybe there are things humans saw that they could not fully explain or understand and it became fantastical elements of what we call mythology. Or perhaps it was true.

Our science speaks of other realities and worlds that could exist. Parallel universes, and other things.

Maybe our ancestors were in touch with things that we have learned to deny or ignore or that was driven away.

So why did I come to this conclusion?

Because I’m a rebel like that.

And because it’s a fact that all people groups divided by oceans and mountain ranges tell the same stories. They have similar gods. Similar tales of creation and global destruction and spiritual beings and other realities.

Some things could be coincidence or happen naturally. For example, it might be natural for humans living in caves to think they were created and by whom.

That might be a normal thing humans do every where. But, would there be similarities? Or maybe early humans knew for a fact that they were created and even saw or knew the creator.

There’s a reason why these stories persist to this day and have not been completely proven to be untrue despite what we are told to the contrary.

Once you make the leap from mythology as fanciful tales to mythology as true history. You might be surprised at the doors that open and where that rabbit hole leads.
