does anyone have any papers that discuss the idea that the Greek oracle tradition came from Egypt, specifically the trance-possession oracles like Pythia or analyzing Herotodus's claims in Euterpe 55
#cipher talk
#I'm researching adorcism and so far I've noticed it's mostly an African thing and very widespread
#Except for Asian traditions that get grouped together as 'shamanism'
#And the Greek trance oracles
#But someone mentioned this theory and I would like to know more about THIS theory specifically
#Because it can help establish how old adorcism is
#The other outlier is Mesopotamia ancient Israel because prophets are sometimes thought to be like. Experiencing unity with g-d
#And are doing musical trance possession
#But the Greek oracles aren't doing music and I haven't heard of the Egyptian oracles doing that either
#Most African trance possession involves music. In Northeast Africa especially the lyre but drums are continentally important
#The lyre also comes from Mesopotamia which could indicate something about trance methods
#But I doubt it'd be the ultimate origin of African adorcism because the latter is so widespread
#Like. Name an African country and there's probably an adorcist practice
#And it wouldn't explain why Egyptian abd Greek oracles don't seem to use music
