Egyptian Mythology. It is a religion that was accepted by the Romans. It was not like Greek, though, as it was not as incorporated into the Roman religion. This report is to speculate on what the consequences might be of Egyptian Mythology being the official religion of Rome.
The Dark Ages were caused by people not wanting to advance. Rather than thinking that technology can be advanced by people, they thought that God would tell them all they needed to know. They thought that knowledge was blasphemous, that only God had the right to know anything. This was all caused by Christianity, and without it, technology would advance much farther than it has in our world.
The Dark Ages lasted about 1000 years, and therefore, in a universe without it, technology would have advanced by hundreds of years. This would have caused extreme scientific progress.
This scientific progress, over time, would have caused the people to be able to reason better. With this reasoning, they would be able to see flaws in their Egyptian religion. Therefore, the Egyptian religion would have caused itself to be destroyed earlier. This is shown by the amount of atheists being increased over time, with scientific progress.
Therefore, the same result would be reached far in the future with or without the Egyptian religion, but with one that result is just reached much faster.

ReplyDeleteYou have some good information, but it's just a whole lot of text. You don't have any pictures to break up the text, or any hyperlinks to make your post more interactive. As it is now, if I was a stranger on the internet who happened to stumble upon your post, I wouldn't really have any interest in reading it. Thought it holds good information, this post won't capture your reader's interest. In addition, your sources at the bottom are hard to distinguish from each other- I can't tell where one ends and the next starts. Good job finding information and making the reading intriguing, but the next step is to make your post more inviting.
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you worded everything to make it easily understandable. You also revealed many things I did not know about Egyptian mythology. Such as Cleopatra tried to make Egyptian Mythology the official religion of Rome. However, I would have added some pictures to break up the text. There is just a big wall of text and it is hard to read.
ReplyDeleteI like your post, I think that it is very informative. However, the only think I would do is add pictures to break up the text to help illustrate your point, I would also add hyperlinks on for example Cleopatra, that way people can go and get more information about Cleopatra. Overall your post is very informative and I learned things that I did not know before!
ReplyDeleteI like how you spread out from the more popular topics, and over to a much less popular one. Although you did branch out, your information is a giant word wall that is somewhat hard to understand. I feel that with some pictures and possibly more formatting this would be one of the more informative posts.
ReplyDeleteI like how you set the scene and told it like a story, it made it easy and interesting to follow. It was also dramatic and that's always good. You could add a couple of pictures thoug
