Endurance of Great Mother cult into Byzantine era

Could humans have worshipped a goddess 300,000 years ago?In this episode, we explore the mysterious Venus figurines discovered across Europe and the Middle East - some potentially dating between 300,000 and 500,000 years old. These prehistoric statues may represent the earliest known fertility goddess in human history.We also examine the theory that this ancient “Great Mother” figure may have evolved over time into Kubebe / Cybele, later worshipped by the Romans as Magna Mater.Could a religious idea have survived from the Stone Age all the way to the Roman Empire?Follow Matt Beall Limitless: https://x.com/MattBeallPodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@mattbeallpodhttps://www.instagram.com/mattbeallpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556879741320Check out our Shorts & ClipsShorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattBeallShortsClip Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattBeallClipsListen Everywhere: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MattBeallPodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4PEaXTfAy8NkLjmukUJfXZ?si=b5fa7ee1b1d54736 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/matt-beall-limitless/id1712917413 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6727221 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MattBeallPodcastCheck out Neal (Gnostic Informant):https://www.youtube.com/@GnosticInformanthttps://x.com/Gnosisinformanthttps://www.youtube.com/@GnosticInformantTVTimeline:00:00:00 Introductions00:05:33 Venus Figurines00:32:52 Timeline of the Great Mother01:10:26 What History is Real?01:15:26 Israel, US, & Iran War01:17:10 What is Ancient Civilization?01:19:44 Atlantis01:24:38 Closing#AncientHistory #AncientCivilizations #VenusFigurines #StoneAge #Archaeology #GreatMother #Cybele #MagnaMater #AncientReligion #HumanOrigins #Prehistory #AncientMysteriesThe views and opinions expressed on this podcast are not necessarily the views of the host or of any business related to the host.
