Ugarit was buried for 3,000 years — until a farmer uncovered the tablets that revealed the Bible’s deep Canaanite roots. The gods, the poetry, even the alphabet itself flowed from this forgotten city. This discovery reshaped how we understand the ancient Levant — and the stories we still tell today.

2nd Edition - with more context…

The story of the magi is fascinating because they were originally the heroes of the nativity. But over time, gave rise to the words, 'magic' and 'magician' - both used to describe forbidden practices for centuries... and now are part of our lexicon....

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆?

For centuries we’ve been told the story of three “wise men” guided by a star to Bethlehem. But the original Greek word used in the Gospel of Matthew is magoi — a term that meant astrologers, priests, and ritual specialists of the ancient Persian world.

So why does the same Bible that honors the Magi in the Nativity also condemn figures like Simon Magus and Elymas the sorcerer?

This video explores the hidden history behind the word magus — from the Zoroastrian priesthood of the Persian Empire, to Greek interpretations of foreign ritual specialists, to the early Christian struggle to define what counted as holy wisdom… and what became labeled “magic.”

Along the way we uncover a deeper question that has shaped civilizations for millennia:

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲? 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴?

In this episode of Defining Mythos, we trace the evolution of one word across empires, religions, and political power struggles — revealing how people, using language, reshape meaning.

𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱:
The Zoroastrian Magi of ancient Persia
Astrology in the ancient world
The Magi in the Gospel of Matthew
Simon Magus and Elymas in the Book of Acts
Greek views of Persian priests
How the Church redefined “magic”
The political battle over religious authority

This story is not just about the past.

It’s about how societies decide who may interpret the divine.
