Especially considering we have a lot more written records of semitic religions than some barbaroid snow ape myth.

What survived of Semitic paganism is basically by accident you fucking retard. Like cuneiform tablets as a practice run, that accidentally got baked because a library burned down. We have basically nothing from Phoenicians or ancient Carthage except their sacrificial urns, many full of children. No primary sources of a myth like from anything in Europe.

I’d also be interesting if there were revivals of old early Christian sects that died out.
>>
>>17965424
Old sects always get revived and condemned as heresies. Over and over

They died because people searched for the Truth and converted

We have almost no records of either. We have the Baal Cycle and the Eddas, and the latter is more comprehensive, although we have more archaeological evidence of the former. But also it's because there are American muh heritage larpers who hate Christianity, but no Semitic Christians in the degenerate west.

The birth of European neo-paganism is tied to 19th century national romanticism, which did not really take place in Middle-East and Jews already consider their faith part of their national identity.

We thousands of inscriptions from Carthage including full ritual texts known as tariffs.

>sacrificial urns
Burial urns. You lying child raping Romoid.

Jewish religion seems perfectly well suited, for jews. Why should they want to change?
>>
>>17965416
Because abrahamism is semitic

All polytheists worship the same gods. The names, the figure change but the archetype remain no matter the culture. That's why romans had no problem accepting other people gods, or they made parallels between egyptians and roman gods. That's also why Caesar said the gauls worshiped Mercure : it's was not exactly Mercure but a local figure whose close enough to him that Caesar do no bother making a difference.
A pagan can worship Ishtar or Venus or Isis or Freya, that's all the same.

There are semitic neopagans and to my understanding there is still some continuously practicing pagan semites.
Understandably they are very secretive and pretty much all we know is that they are still around.
They are probably sycretists like few finno-ugric pagans.

They were 100% sacrificial urns. You can cope about this or the lack of texts all you like but the myths are still largely absent from the record, lost possibly forever.

Good fucking riddance.

It evolved into Yahwism.

That's basically what Jews are. Yahweh was a rival semitic storm god to Baal which is why Baal is constantly mentioned in the older parts of the Judaic / Christian canon. Baal was the top dog in Canaan before the Jews pushed Yawhehism onto to their people. Even most Jews didn't particularly like Yahweh compared to Baal until worshiping Yahweh became state sponsored and they published their new history of the Jewish people which made Yahweh into their personal patron god.

They were burial urns. Semitic paganism was centered on living in accordance with the Divine Order established by the gods rather than on believing in a children stories as was the case with Indo-European paganism. Hence why Carthaginians left sacrifical laws rather than fairy tales.

>Good fucking riddance.
Indeed. Brought to you from Carthage with love.

Nobody identifies with ancient Babylonians and Assyrians. Arabs identify themselves as Arabs and their religion is poorly understood in large part because lack of records and Islam not quite liking its existence, Jews identify as Jews and deny their ancestors (at least in theory according to the Torah) ever worshiped multiple gods. I mean I guess Assyrians might identify with Assyrians of antiquity but they're a tiny population.
