Before Easter: Five Thousand Years of Dying Gods and Painted Eggs

from Crazy Alchemist · host Crazy Alchemist

Easter's resurrection story is older than Christianity by millennia. From Baal's death in 1300 BCE Ugarit to the Hilaria of Attis in Rome, from Inanna's three days on a hook to painted eggs in Persia, the pattern of a god who dies and returns at spring runs deeper than any single religion.
