Stone and Bronze Age Religions

Stone and Bronze Age Religions

The major religion of the world took its ‘modern’ form in the 8th century BCE (near the end of the Bronze Age).
The original Bronze Age beliefs have largely remained unchanged even in this 21st century.

How you divide the world’s major religion into parts is largely a cultural and personal choice.
All of it has Adam, Noah, Abraham and usually Moses as key characters (patriarchs/prophets) but parts of it have cult personalities including Jesus, Mohammad, Joseph Smith, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Siyyid `Alí Muhammad Shírází, Bahá’u’lláh, Haile Selassie and etcetera.

The other major religions of Hinduism and Buddhism are slightly younger around the 6th century BCE.
