Then of course there is "OMG, GREEK ALPHABET LOOKS LIKE PHEONECIAN ONE! THE GREEKS NEVER EXISTED!"
As much as you may have a point there...somewhat.... the difference is for example, we can see evidence that the Mayans existed because of such
monuments, artefacts of culture which prove they once lived.
When looking at the 'GREEK ALPHABET ' an understanding of how information travels back in those times.....eg, when the Romans took over Greece, they
adopted some of the Greek gods into their religion, the same may go for language and alphabets.
Another example is when French military were in parts of Vietnam (I think it was Vietnam) and when the French left the Vietnamese took on some French
words into their vocabulary.....
Even the English language was originally composed from others.
the difference with religion in this concept, is that the 'heroes' of these religions like Hercules, Jesus, Krishna, Budda, etc, all have similar
traits of stories that define their own definition of existence.....eg...
