Egyptian mythology

Egyptian mythology or religion in ancient Egypt, comprises a set of beliefs supportedby the people of Kemet from the predynastic to the imposition of Christianity, when its practices were banned at the time of Justinian I in 535.
Its development and influence lasted more than three thousand years, varying over time logically, therefore, an article or a book, you can only summarize the multitude of organizations and issues of this complex system of beliefs. The variety of Egyptian iconography is very different from Greek or Roman, Egyptian mythology in many deities are represented by the human body and head of another animal.








Opinion:  
Egyptian Mythology was one of the Relgion with a hidden history in Egypt in Africadecierto. Where the kings inthe animal heads repesent says strength like reading.But just a disaster for the wars and conquests.

Norse mythology

Nordic or Scandinavian mythology comprises the religion, beliefs and legends of the Scandinavian peoples, including those who settled in Iceland, where the written sources for Norse mythology were assembled. Version is the best preserved of the ancient Germanic mythology, common to all Germanic peoples, which also includesthe closely related Anglo-Saxon mythology. Germanic mythology, in turn, has evolved from an Indo-European mythology earlier.
Norse mythology was a collection of beliefs and stories shared by NorthernGermanic tribes. It is important to note that this mythology was not shared by the Nordic peoples ethnic Uranus (Finns, Estonians and Lapps) and Baltic (Latvian), who held their own. It was not a revealed religion, as there was no truth delivered bythe divine to mortals (though stories of ordinary people have to learn the stories ofthe gods of a visit or them), and had a holy book. This mythology was orally transmitted in the form of a long, regular poetry. This transmission continued duringthe Viking Age, and our knowledge about it is mainly based on the Eddas and othermedieval texts written during or after Christianization.
In Scandinavian folklore, these beliefs were short-lived, and in some rural areassome traditions have been maintained until today. Others have recently beenrevived or reinvented as Germanic paganism neo. Mythology has also remained an inspiration in literature as well as stage productions and movies.


opinion:
One of the myths that has more action. What characterized this religion as the reading says, is that they had a sacred book or not, it was all oral and were morepractical.
