The family of Japheth is essentially what we call the Aryans. Hitler made much of the Aryan race, claiming that the Germans were pure Aryans and the rest were mongrels.

Answer 1

You read that wrong ,all cicvilizations believed in" t.its an" other stuff

Answer 2

All civilizations believed in supernatural things. They needed a way to explain the unexplainable. For example when they found in Crete ancient skeletons of 1,90 - 2,10 meters high they said that they were giants.  I do not understand your question though...I read the articles referenced above,  And as far as it concern the giant dinosaurs they lived milions of years ago, human weren't even existed.

Answer 3

All Ancient peoples had a creation story, and had their Gods (until the Hebrews with their 1 God, but they had a creation story too).

Most Ancient peoples even have a flood story; where a diety decides to flood the world, for one reason or another.

But religions in general are rather grandiose & can be thought of as laughable by us, who are 'enlightened'. The race of giants, or Titans could have been easily a function of a later peoples not understanding how men could have built something so large (not having written records detailing how, etc).  Cyclopean masonry in Greece is named that way because of the assumption of the Ancient Greeks that their predecessors in the Bronze Age (Mycenaeans) must have had giants to move such large stones that made up their city walls.

Think of the base concept: You have this invisible man (or group of deities) living in the sky.  He (or they) watch everything we do, every minute of the day. Some even have special lists of things we aren't supposed to do; but if we displease them- they'll make us pay for it somehow.

Its all derived from not understanding what is going on around us.  To this day, we don't understand everything, so many still rely on religion to close the gap. I think it makes humans feel better to think that we have a big brother, or a father figure that protects us far beyond childhood.  A little Freudian I think.....

Answer 4

As far as I am aware, the Titans only existed in ancient Greek mythology; nowhere else. They challenged the Gods of Mount Olympus: Zeus, Nike, Athena, Minerva, Eris, etc., and were destroyed by them. Enter "titans" in the Google, and Wikipedia websites. The Romans had no such belief, nor the ancient Egyptians, so I strongly doubt that assertion in your webreference.

Answer 5

No not everyone believed in Titans... Just greeks, the closest equivelant would be Norse mythology where many different giants played a role in their mythology akin to how titans did in greek mythology. And I dont know what youre talking about with Aryans but just for clarification, Aryans were a nomadic geneticaly distinct population from the central Asian Steppes who came into India and mostly displaced the native population there in around 2000bc if I remember right. Aryans were also the ones that introduced the caste system into India.

Answer 6

Those ancients came across a field of pigmy elephant skeletons long extinct and thought there were a race of cyclops. Myths prevailed before the introduction of the scientific method. Fools are prevalent where ancient beliefs override modern science.
