    Most of the myths being talked about here are from Europe. From my history lesson, early civilizations were formed in Asia and Africa. I would like to suggest adding section for Asian Myths and another section for African Myths.

    What really happened

    I'm playing Assassin's Creed game and the story is somewhat provocative. Do you believe that history is based on how the writer or historian said it even sometimes it is not what really happened?

    There are some things that we can't explain that we normally label it as myth. What if the myth is tried and tested and the conclusion was that it is real? Is it easier to handle truth from myth or is it the other way around?

    Spirits and ghosts

    I guess this is the longest myth ever told to human race. This is a subjective topic as there are people who believe such things are true and those that are not. I remember when I was little that my aunt would scare me with ghosts so I would behave.

    The oracle

    The oracle itself is not a myth but I think the prophecies and how they prophecy in that place is the myth. In those days, people seek the oracle for answers and they thought the answers are channeled through young girls who are possessed by gods but instead are high in drugs.

    Remus and romulus

    This is the myth where Rome originated. Is it even possible for a she-wolf to feed human babies? I don't know if someone had tried doing this but I think it is impossible as babies are very vulnerable to diseases.
