What happened to the ancient Egypt, Mayan, Greek and Roman gods?

Question

Where did they go?

Answer 1

their stories were simply plagiarized and used to create later cults, like christianity and the bible.

Answer 2

They have'nt gone anywhere. The Egyptian, Greek and Roman gods are still being actively worshipped. In fact in Greece the mumbers of worshipers of the TRUE Greek gods has been estimated to be near a million by some soures (NBC news for one back in 04). There are a great many people workdwide that still follow the Greek, Roman and Egyptian gods.

As for the Maya, I can't really say. I have heard rumors that there are groups in Central and South America that have taken up the old worship, but I have not been able to verify the veracity of them. (Although I do know several people in Mexico that follow the Aztec gods).

The Gods themselves don't go anywere. They are always there, awaiting the return of their worshippers.

Answer 3

There are all still around and they all still have worshipers.

Oh and the basic definition of Mythology is, “a collection of myths about the origin and history of a people and their deities, ancestors, and heroes.” A myth, meanwhile, is “a traditional story originating in a preliterate society, dealing with supernatural beings, ancestors, or heroes that serve as primordial types in a primitive view of the world.” A myth can also be any real or fictional story, recurring theme, of character type that appeals to the consciousness of a people by embodying its cultural ideals or by giving expression to deep, commonly felt emotions.” Other definitions emphasize the fictional, half-truth, imaginary, or unreal aspect, despite the fact that the word derives from the Greek version of tale.

Answer 4

Oh, they're still around.

Every day of the week is named after a pagan god. Most months are to.

Almost all the constellations are pagan named.

All christendom holidays are tainted with pagan rites and rituals.

The Mayan and Aztec temples lives on in modern New Mexico and other southwestern art.

The pinada rite is pagan.

The pagan gods and the worship rites and rituals for them live on one way or the other.

Answer 5

When Christianity spread most of the old customs and traditions involving the worship of the Old Gods were absorbed into the new religion. Easter, Virgin Birth etc.

Some people still do worship the Old Gods. Wiccans, Pagans and countless others who don't identify with either.
