Poseidon, an amazigh God? Or Greek?

[Goldenwings]

Hi,

before i mention what herodute says , please keep in mind ( amazigh( the name of which we call ourselves meaning = Free people) = berbers ( used by some historians and some cultures to belittle us)= numidians = libyans = north africans)
Here is it:
"Moreover the naming of almost all the gods has come to Hellas from Egypt: for that it has come from the Barbarians I find by inquiry is true, and I am of opinion that most probably it has come from Egypt, because, except in the case of Poseidon and the Dioscuroi (in accordance with that which I have said before), and also of Hera and Hestia and Themis and the Charites and Nereïds, the Egyptians have had the names of all the other gods in their country for all time. What I say here is that which the Egyptians think themselves: but as for the gods whose names they profess that they do not know, these I think received their naming from the Pelasgians, except Poseidon; but about this god the Hellenes learnt from the Libyans, for no people except the Libyans have had the name of Poseidon from the first and have paid honour to this god always. Nor, it may be added, have the Egyptians any custom of worshipping heroes."

what do you think? Thank you for your answers in advance

Hi,
Those are my opinions, please share yours thank you in advance( important: purpose of the post is to expand knowledge about the Gods and history, while shining light on the amazigh culture from where many Gods originate and almost no one talks about it)

Apparently there is a libyan( amazigh) "ammon" , and an egyptian "amun"


The oracle of ammon was in Siwa oasis in Egypt(= amazigh) because:

The indigenous people of Siwa Oasis are berbers ( amazigh)

Alexander the great went to the temple in Siwa(= Amazigh)

Hannibal barca the amazigh general( whose name mean son of baal or something similar) also went to the temple in Siwa (= amazigh)

Also it is claimed that the priest which declared alexander the Great son of ammon is Libyan ( another name for "amazigh", ancient north africa was called libya)


Pausanias say that pindar sent his hymn of ammon to Libya ( amazigh land )

René basset claimed the cult of ammon started in lybia (amazigh land) before egypt

Gurzil ( libyan God) was considered son of Ammon( i hope someone tells the equivalent in other cultures of Agurzil)

Larbas (libyan(=amazigh)) was considered Son of Ammon

Other Gods which are known to be egyptians but are amazigh:

Athena ( check herodute) the clothes she wears are amazigh too
Neith ( check herodute and plato)

Atlas : related to Atlas mountains which are in the Amazigh Land

Is astrate same as nieth?or Athena ? Or tanit?

The last three are all amazigh Gods, lets talk about tanit , which some claim is the same as astrate

Tanit is related to numidians ( numidians = amazigh = libyans = north africans)

Her main temples were in tunisia and algeria ( north africa = amazigh)

What are your thoughts on this?

Thank you in advance
