The Ancient Greek's theory of "Chaos" being the first entity and the catalyst for creation, lines up to our modern theory of the Big Bang

Of course. Same as us living in simulation, lines up with hindus and other views that are living inside godhead , that life is a dream of a sleeping god.

@@petergraywolf6671 Not sure what you're referring to. I meant that the "Big Bang" is essentially pretty chaotic in nature, the first deviation that allowed the universe to exist as it does today (with help from the force of "Order" that allowed bodies to form and stay together.)

@@caramelch.919 i was mainly curious about the core beliefs, about the same things across all (or atleast most) religions. And chaos, which is infinite yet unable to be defined in any kind of way, being there before ,,big bang" is something that repeats basically everywhere then it created some kind of god and goddess, or black god and white god... duality... in order to be able to speak about this undescripable infinity its kinda like computers, first there are infinite possibilities, then thru zeros and ones you manage to create basically anything :)
You are GIFTED as a story teller, love from Greece.
Greek mythology is probably one of my favorite things to study . Greek culture was soooo interesting, with so many cool stories
Love the storytelling.

True
the more interesting about this is how very eeriely cosmic-horror (Lovecraftian-like) some parts of this creation actually are inspired regarding all the darkness cthtonic deities as Chaos, Tartarus, Nyx and Erebus, or even somehow Ponthos and Thalassa or the Mountains at this scheme of action.
Great Video, nice visuals to go with the story.
Find it weird how Nyx and Erebus gave birth to something of the opposite to them and then their offspring also gave birth to someone kinda related to Pontus

Hello 🥰 🥰. I really liked to invite you to worship our creator by entering Islam, check the evidence of his existence, answer your questions that prevents you from entering Islam, the religion of peace. These are some pieces of evidence proves that the holy Quran is from our creator and Islam is the only true religion for the believers. 1- In the holy Quran: historical, scientific, metaphysical, and linguistic miracles, 2- the challenge of creating 1 chapter like the holy Quran which has 114 chapters. 3- the preservation miracle of the holy Quran. 4-the miracles of the prophet Muhammed (peace and blessing of God be upon him) sayings. 5- the prophecies of the advent of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammed peace and blessing of God be upon him in the Torah and the Bible. 6- Religious comparisons and Issues in the religions except Islam. 7- The superiority of Islam over other religions to guarantee rights and the survival of life. 8- logical proofs of The existence of God (any God). 9- Logical proofs of the existence of Allah. you are the one who will choose his destiny if afterlife. You can read the Holy Quran directly and believe without checking these websites. these were a small piece of the evidence. I ask our wise creator to guide you and to make you believe in the truth. ask the creator now to guide you to the truth ❤️ the links respectively: www.islamreligion.com/category/34/scientific-miracles-of-holy-quran/ www.islamreligion.com/articles/347/prophecies-of-quran/ islamtomorrow.com/downloads/Quran_Khan.pdf www.islamreligion.com/articles/345/an-unmet-challenge/ www.islamreligion.com/category/37/authenticity-and-preservation-of-holy-quran/ www.islamreligion.com/category/35/scientific-miracles-of-prophet-muhammad-sayings/ www.islamreligion.com/articles/150/miracles-of-muhammad-part-1/ www.islamreligion.com/category/36/muhammad-in-bible-and-other-scriptures/ kzread.info/dash/bejne/i6Jktbx8pse8p7Q.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/gZ6ayNmdisiacag.html www.islamreligion.com/category/68/comparative-religion/ www.islamreligion.com/category/83/current-issues/ www.islamreligion.com/category/39/existence-of-god/ www.islamreligion.com/category/116/logical-proofs/ www.islamreligion.com/articles/169/muhammad-claim-to-prophethood-part-1/ www.islamreligion.com/articles/338/did-muhammad-author-quran/

Amazing story
LOVE the narration and story!! The production value is pretty dope too!! It's pretty amazing that many creation myths started with a 'BANG', just like the Chinese Myths I talk about on my channel. Wonder if the collective memories of the early peoples all point to similar events that happened back in the day and passed them down as myths and stories. Anyways, You've got a new sub, and I look forward to more content from your channel!!! 👍👍👍

That's exactly how most creation myths started. First though, there's a COMMON ANCESTRY among all ancient people's and so a common creation myth that was altered to suit the different cultures, beliefs, and eventually the Races that evolved from that common ancestrial stock. You answered your own question. I'll be looking you up. I love good mythology and I haven't learned Asian mythology as a whole yet.

Hi, I really like the video and took notes during your story telling (which is really good!) I would just like to know why you didn’t talk about Eros the eldest as an infant of khaos? You talked about Gaïa, Tartarus, Nyx and Erebus but not Eros the eldest, god of love I think. I really liked your video and will watch the other videos on your channel!! Thank you :)

I think it's because of the difference in Mythology depending on the sources. There are sources that say Eros was a primordial while other myths and poets say that he was the son of Aphrodite (This one is usually the preferred material so it doesn't get confusing). Some scholars believe that the two Eros' were completely separate beings, just coincidence in name.
@JonathanEspinosaDuarte

From my previous knowledge Eros elder came to be as a ‘sibling’ of Nyx & Erebus as more of a personification of ‘love & procreation’ when they laid eyes on each other. While in some sources Eros doesn’t come till later as a deity my understanding is that Eros elder & Eros are different beings while Eros elder came to be from a mix of Nyx, Erebus & Khaos as the original ‘idea’ of love. This is why in some sources he isn’t included as a son of Khaos. (Did my best to explain my findings as simple as I could this one does vary from source to source.)
Tomorrow I have an exam about Greek Methology. Wish my good luck. From Morocco with love❤
I'm trying to do my history project and I didn't expect to go through such an emotional roller-coaster
what is the source of this creation myth? i know there's different versions and Hesiod's poems suggest that Gaia was born from Aether and Hemera. along with Tartarus, Pontus and Eros so i want to know more about this version of The Creation

I thought I've either read or heard every greek creation myth but never have I ever heard of Chaos as female and "first true immortal". 95%(I'm being generous with that) of all greek mythology stories says "in the beginning was Chaos and from Chaos sprang Gaea, fairest of the fair, first immortal, mother of all, etc.. I'd love to research the source material of this story about Chaos being a female immortal and I'm guessing technically "mother of all". See how with that one inconsistency you've taken the "Mother of all" from Gaea and gave it to the formless void of Chaos?
