Cult of The Dead

By Crusader1307

The Ancient Berber Peoples of North Africa, can trace their Culture back 10,000 years. They had a unique early Mythos, in which Ancestor Veneration or ''Cult of The Dead'' was based solely on Deceased Ancestors. In short, all their early Gods and Goddesses were the ''Spirits'' of long dead Relatives. In addition, Kings, Queens and ''well respected'' Tribal Members would ''ascend'' to these positions as well. In the 4th Century BC and thereafter, with Occupations by Foreign Armies and Enemies, they began to adopt these Cultures Gods and Beliefs, often meshing them into their previous ''Cult'' Beliefs. Some of the more popular Cultures adopted were Egyptian, Libyan and of course – Roman.
