I'm doing a paper in school about the importance of the sun in early religions. I found this video on youtube to get me started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD9f0XU_S78
My question is: is there any truth to this? Is there anything in this video that I can pursue? Thanks!
OK, that's from Zeitgeist, conspiracy film which is littered with so many misconceptions that it would take ages to go through. You really shouldn't use anything that besides bad religious history goes on to talk at length about 9/11 as an inside job and other pearls. Not being an expert, I can't offer better sources off the top of my head (and you could specifically ask about those as a separate question), but here /u/talondearg goes through some things which are wrong with the claims there. Some of it is pure bad history and some of it are broad generalizations which are used to make it sound as if there is more of a connection (i.e "performed miracles" which could mean a whole plethora of very unspecific things)
