Ancient Mesopotamian Cain & Abel ORIGINS!

In this scholarly exploration, MythVision Podcast investigates one of the Bible’s most iconic narratives—the story of Cain and Abel—and reveals its striking parallels to ancient mythologies from Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Rome. Delving deep into Genesis chapter 4, we examine humanity’s first murder, where Cain, a farmer, kills his brother Abel, a shepherd, driven by divine favoritism and jealousy.

Through meticulous comparative analysis, we unveil remarkable similarities between the biblical tale and earlier Mesopotamian myths, such as "Enlil Chooses the Farmer-God" and "Inanna Prefers the Farmer," highlighting a recurring cultural tension between settled agriculture and nomadic herding communities. We also explore the profound Egyptian influence reflected in the violent rivalry between Osiris and Set, as well as the foundational fratricide in Rome’s myth of Romulus and Remus.

Scholars argue these parallels are not mere coincidences but rather deliberate adaptations by Hebrew scribes, who, exiled in Babylon during the 6th century BCE, reinterpreted familiar myths to convey distinctive theological messages about human violence, moral responsibility, and divine justice.

Join us as we journey through ancient myths and scriptures, shedding light on how our most sacred stories evolved through cultural exchange, adaptation, and profound human questions about jealousy, violence, and civilization.
