4 Religions In 3 Cultural Areas
Focus of Paper In covering the topic of religion from pre-history to 1500 CE, I have picked to main focuses which include Polytheistic and Monotheistic religions. Regarding my choice of Polytheistic religion I have learn that it means to worship many God’s. I have decided to break Polytheistic religion into two different eras and geographical locations. With my first choice being Sumerians in Ancient Mesopotamia or also known as the Fertile Crescent in the era of 5000 – 1000 BCE and my second choice being Minoans in Crete in the era of 2100 – 1100 BCE basing my finds on the differences between these particular Polytheistic religions. Regarding my choice of Monotheistic religion I have learn that it means to worship one God. I have decided to break Monotheistic religion into two different eras and geographical location, just as I have with Polytheism. With my first choice being the Germanic Kingdom involving the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Franks and Anglo-Saxons in the era of ca. 400 – 900 CE with the religion being Catholicism. With my second choice being Islamic Arabia's in Arabia in the era of 610 – 632 CE with the religion being Muslim.
