In ancient religions such as Judaism , Hinduism, Zorostrianism and ancient egyptian religion we see many things common :
1) Chanting
2) Lighting fire and worshiping it (yagna of hindus)
3) Sacrifice of animals etc
4) drinking of wine or any other intoxicant (soma by hindus)
Ancient vedic religion had all these, sacrifice was prevalent until stopped by buddha. Jews even today drink wine after religious ceremony.
It appears that 70000 years ago man left Africa and colonized all earth. From heart of africa it went to egypt, israel then Iran then India. It is logical that some people captured lands and stayed and others moved on. These people who stayed called their practices as some religion (as above).
Why so?
Becuz these 4 practices are very common african tribal practices. In interior africa, tribals lit fire, danced around, chanted, drank wine and sacrificed animals, humans etc. Similarity of practices make us think that ancient old religions probably orininated from Africa.
