Last time [The Yellow Emperor and Xuan You: Demonized, not necessarily a loser].
Speaking of Shennong and Xuanyou, they are both the image of a minotaur
Shennong clan is of course a good thing for Chinese
But the great god of Xuanyu has always been smeared as a big bad guy
Is the Minotaur bad or not?
The cow god is a matter that exists in ancient civilizations all over the world
India has sacred cows
Egypt has sacred cows
Norse mythology originated with sacred cows
In the Aegean culture of the Mediterranean, there is also the worship of cattle
Cattle are closely related to agriculture
Evolved religious ideas of worship
Just as god reveres all things into gods
This is very easy to understand
But in Greek mythology
Well, Zeus turned into a cow to rape mortal women and gave birth to a son, Minos
Then the son got the son of a Minotaur
Minotaurs
Eat seven pairs of virgin boys and girls a year (this is a good tradition)
In Chinese mythology, the Minotaur is also a villain
Where did Chinese and the Greeks bullied by cattle?
That's right
Minotaurs was not a grandson of Zeus
His mother was queen of Minoans
But his dad was a bull sent by Poseidon
Well, one says the cow was changed by Poseidon
Brothers are the same cow-like, powerful
In short, Minotaurs is the world-famous Minotaur figure (laughs
One of Minotaurs's aliases is "Asterion", which means "star". Some Greek sects even believe that Minotaurus in the labyrinth was the embodiment of Zeus.
The Star Minotaur Zeus... Am I now watching the Blizzard game set set me
Minotaurs is a representative legend of the Minoan civilization in the Aegean culture
I haven't collected too much information below, so I'll just take a look
It's just a matter of chiseling
The birthplace of the Minoan civilization was Crete
Around 5000 BC, advanced agricultural techniques began to appear in Crete
The record of dynasties in Chinese history is about 1700 BC, the Xia Dynasty, and the period of Dayu
(Of course, there are earlier artifacts unearthed, but there is no way to clearly demarcate the relationship with the dynasty)
The legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors is probably around 2700 BC
Minotaurs certainly had no bones, just like Xuanyu
However, it is inferred that it may be the labyrinth inhabited by Minotaurs, which was built around 2000 BC
Judging from Chinese history, it is almost the era of the three emperors and the beginning of the five emperors
Did you see anything interesting?
According to the records of Tai Shi Gong, the Yellow Emperor was the end of the Three Emperors and the beginning of the Five Emperors
Fuxi, Shennong, Yellow Emperor
The Yellow Emperor, Emperor Huan, Zhao, Yao, Shun
So where did brother Xuanyu, who won the battle, go?
Wouldn't it be to go to Crete in the Mediterranean?
The perspective of the great power (laughs
I would say that it was not the Chinese Xuanyu who went to the Mediterranean as Minotaurs
Instead, the Mediterranean Minotaurs (a clan) came to China to be Shennong's clan as a clam
Erlitou culture itself is defined at the intersection of Xia Shang
Later cultural relics have bronze weapons unearthed
And the Xuanyu tribe "good metallurgy"
It's not that I like this stem, it's that tool material manufacturing technology was originally a milestone in human history
Relative to the Erlitou culture of about 1700 BC
The Minoan civilization entered the Bronze Age in 3200 BC
The bronze sword unearthed by the Minoan civilization is probably the second oldest bronze weapon in the world
(The first oldest is the Soviet-American side, but it seems that the symbolism is greater than the use of weapons)
In other words, presumably Minotaurs' great-great-great-grandfather would have struck a bronze sword
Add to this the minoan civilization itself that flourished in trade
The navigation technology is sophisticated
Their travel adventurer level should also be quite good
Here we get some information
1. The cattle from heaven, raping mortal women
2. The Minotaur needs to be sacrificed
This is beyond the scope from which nature worship can derive
Is the cow from heaven evil?
Is it God or Demon?
I think it has something to do with the angle of the recorder
For the Greeks, the cattle from heaven were oppressive to them
Even harmful, there is no doubt about it
Compared to Chinese dare to fight a war with the Minotaur
The Greeks seemed to be just in awe
Still blow one last
Zeus is the symbol of thunder
The huge, flashing flying machine seems to resemble the Thunder at 87%.
However, we still have not found the whereabouts of the Minotaur
But not yet
Entering the twenty-first century, there is still an ancient civilization
The worship of cattle continues
It can be seen that the influence of cattle on them is far-reaching, presumably more than that of China and Greece
