<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 26007287, member: 128351&quot;]Yes Isis was an Egyptian goddess, but in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd centuries she was worshipped in many countries of the empire, especially in Rome. There was a temple of Isis in Pompeii. There was a temple of Isis in Rome, near the Pantheon. At the end of the Metamorphoses of Apuleius, a 2nd c. latin North African author, there is an apparition of Isis who says she has many names, that all other goddesses should be assimilated with herself... &quot; <i>I, mother of all Nature and mistress of the elements, first-born of the ages and greatest of powers divine, queen of the dead, and queen of the immortals, all gods and goddesses in a single form; who with a gesture commands heaven&#039;s glittering summit, the wholesome ocean breezes, the underworld&#039;s mournful silence; whose sole divinity is worshipped in differing forms, with varying rites, under many names, by all the world. There, at Pessinus, the Phrygians, first-born of men, call me Cybele, Mother of the Gods; in Attica, a people sprung from their own soil name me Cecropian Minerva; in sea-girt Cyprus I am Paphian Venus; Dictynna-Diana to the Cretan archers; Stygian Proserpine to the three-tongued Sicilians; at Eleusis, ancient Ceres; Juno to some, to others Bellona, Hecate, Rhamnusia; while the races of both Ethiopias, first to be lit at dawn by the risen Sun&#039;s divine rays, and the Egyptians too, deep in arcane lore, worship me with my own rites, and call me by my true name, royal Isis.</i>&quot;</p><p>For many people Isis was the sole goddess. You shouldn&#039;t say God (the god worshipped in churches, in mosques) is a Jewish god? Same for Isis...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
