Sometime between the 7th century and 13th century BC, a man was born in Eastern Persia who had a revolutionary idea. 

He claimed that there wasn’t a multiple gods, but rather just one god. 

He established a religion which, at various times, was one of the most followed in the world. Thousands of years later, it still has adherents, although only a fraction of what it once was.

Learn more about Zoroastrianism, its origins, and its tenets on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 259 BC, a boy named Ying Zheng was born in the state of Qin in modern-day China. 

He was born into the royal family of the kingdom and ascended to the throne at the age of 13. 

For most people, becoming king would be the pinnacle of their achievements. However, this was not to be the case with the King of Qin. He would go on to achieve a status that there wasn’t even a word for.

Like many ancient civilizations, the Romans had a vast pantheon of gods. 

Unlike other civilizations, the Romans were very flexible in where their gods came from. 

In particular, they adopted many of their gods from the Greek pantheon. It wasn’t just a matter of copying them. They would often rename the gods and alter their mythology to align with Roman virtues.

When it came to religion, the Romans weren’t stealing so much as they were like the Borg. 

Learn more about the Roman pantheon of gods and how they borrowed their deities from other cultures on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
