【The Truth of Xuanyu, Ancient God of Battle - Asura】
This topic is not difficult to associate at all: Xuanyu and Asura are both three-headed and six-armed lords.
Is the answer so simple?
Also belonging to ancient mythology, the appearance of gods with similar appearances, is it a coincidence? Or is it a fateful arrangement?
Let's keep looking...
In addition to the three heads and six arms, the more distinctive thing is the minotaur shape.
Last time we went to see the Greek Minotaur [is it a god or a demon?] Foreign Minotaur Legends], this time we look at India.
What part of Hinduism did cattle appear in?
The first is the mount of The Destroyer Shiva
Hinduism has three main gods
Brahma, the creator god, Vishnu, the patron saint, and Shiva, the god of destruction
Of course, The God of Destruction, Shiva, is not so simple Chinese sense of destruction
Even if you haven't seen Hindu mythology
If you've only seen Three Eyes, you'll know (uh, is this comic too old?). ）
Shiva's destruction was to bring about new creation
To review what I said earlier:
When the low-end civilization is blown up by the high-end civilization, it will be "improved"
Rebirth after the destruction of (civilization).
Is there anything like 87%?
Shiva's divinity is quite complex, somewhat similar to Zeus in some ways
In The myth of Shiva, the cow is also not an important role
However, India also has magic cows
Oh, and the monkey, Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King may have worshipped in India (the point is wrong)
The Indian magic bull is called Mahisa, transliterated, and it seems to mean buffalo
Unlike Minotaurs
The father of the Greek devil cow is a cow
The mother of the Indian magic cow is the cow
Mahisha is the leader of the Asura tribe, so you will know that the Indian devil bull is not two-handed
Compared with Minotaurs, Mahisha's image is closer to that of Xuanyu
Similarly, Mahisa is not a cursed child who is locked up
Rather, he was a fierce and powerful Leader of the Asura Tribe (one of them)
This aspect is also more similar to Xuanyu
What is an Asura?
In the beginning of Hindu mythology, asuras were not bad, and were said to be moral and social deities. (1)
Later, not knowing what stomach they had eaten, they became a race against the celestial beings: there was also a pen added here, and the asuras were not created by Brahma. (2)
In the battle between the Celestials and the Asuras, the Asuras are always giving birth to new heroes to confront the Celestials. There was even an Asura king who was able to compete with the three main gods.
Whether it is to be described as an Asura king, an Asura leader, an Asura hero, Mahisha is only one of them.
Hinduism has more stories about Mahisha after her victory
The main thing is, of course, singing and dancing (worthy of being Bollywood)
Seizure of the property of the original celestial being (mount)
Even better was that he dug the mountain with his double horns, as if he were looking for something
Looking back here, there is a saying that the celestial beings and the Asuras are fighting for the nectar of immortality. (3)
Back to Mahisa's story
Because Mahisa was too arrogant, the gods created a goddess to fight Mahisa
This thrilling battle is omitted
Probably similar to Sun Wukong vs Erlang God... A lot of the space is super variable
It proves once again that Wu Cheng'en dabbled in a lot of Indian things when he wrote Journey to the West
But the people of the Ming Dynasty were not my focus
In short, Mahisa was killed by the goddess created by the gods
Then the goddess continued to fight with King Asura
The Asura King was again more high-end than the Bull Demon
The goddess was almost about to be defeated at the time
From within her was the Goddess of Darkness
The Dark Goddess was more powerful than enough to destroy the Asuras
Even the three main gods were threatened
For more information, please wait for the next episode
No, I just think this whole paragraph is no different from watching the Thunderbolt Bag Drama or the comic
Why write this?
After all, Hinduism has more causes and consequences than the Chinese and Greek accounts of the Minotaurs
It can be noted that:
The Minotaurs are not the main god class, they are very powerful, but they are probably only the level of tool people
(Admiral, Admiral).
Both Xuanyu and Mahisha may be battle robots.
India says the gods built another battle robot to outmaneuver the Minotaur.
China says the Yellow Emperor built a drum to outmaneuver the Minotaur.
China only remembers two major wars, and the Yellow Emperor opened the protagonist Wei Neng.
But in the Indian record, the war between the celestials and the Asuras is endless, and there are victories and losses between each other.
I feel that Indians are more honest.
If Indians are so honest, what does that mean?
A few marks have been marked above, now let's explain.
(1) The asura tribe's own duties and expertise are somewhat similar to those of the Wind Queen who assisted the Yellow Emperor of China. In the previous inference, it is very likely that the Queen of the Wind was originally from the same clan as Xuan you.
(2) The Asuras were not created by Brahma, which means that they may be two different groups of aliens from the main god of India.
(3) The search for Mahisa, and the reason for the struggle of the celestial asuras, most likely refers to a resource peculiar to the Indian region.
The knowledge and records left behind by the celestial race dominated by Brahma also seem to be relatively rich and complete.
And in these myths, the Hindu gods also have almost unlimited power.
The gods in ancient mythology in many regions are only higher-order beings than people.
How many of these ancient gods could be aliens?
That's it for the story, and I want to add one more thing at the end.
Why did the alien race do interstellar travel to come here?
Common science fiction sayings are:
The home planet is destroyed, or the Earth has the resources they need, or passes by.
In any case, their main purpose will not be to help Earthlings evolve, so they will not directly move the parent star life form directly.
Just as the British didn't teach Indians afternoon tea when they arrived on the American continent.
But the British who remained on the American continent would begin to use their knowledge and local resources to create a suitable living environment.
The standard of living of Americans in the pioneers was not comparable to that of Europeans at that time.
But the level of spiritual life will be very close.
The height of ideology can survive through the core ideas of religion.
That is the oldest wisdom, and it is also the most advanced wisdom.
For me, the starting point of the whole story is probably here...
