For the MTV generation...

This brief slide show set to music is part one of a series on the hellenic origins of christianity. This part focuses on the hellenisation of Aegyptus, and Iudaea, by Alexander the Great and his successors. Special attention is given to the religious syncretism of Ptolemy Soter as he created greek gods to offset the animal worship of the conquered Aegyptians. This sets the backstory and religious tone of the ancient near east for the institution of even newer gods by the Romans in the first centuries.
