Who's to say who's the God, yeah? You hear me? You want me to show you my power?

Moloch Horrific Canaanite Gods: Ancient Religion Explained
(Tony4You) The old gods of the semitic religions have always been fascinating because of their brutality and disturbing practices. It seemed like all of ancient Israel's neighbors left a lot to be desired.

Devils worshipped as gods
From human sacrifice to much more sensual duties of the priestesses (like temple prostitution), the surrounding blasphemous lands had a lot to learn from.

The dark deity Moloch, god of sacrifice and tyranny, whose rituals led to the deaths of thousands across history from the region of Carthage.

Asherah, wife of El (God or gods) and the goddess of fertility and holy spaces, also potentially the wife of Yahweh (YHWH) himself and exploiter of all that makes love pure.

This is somewhat of a departure from the average Tony4you video as it does not have anything to do with video games, but the hope is the lore, history, and ancient knowledge gathered in this video will be entertaining all the same.

Biblical stories have always been fascinating and the savage Old Testament depictions of weird angels and vile demons are one subject some never tire of researching.

From the most horrible of demons worshipped as gods to the temptation and downfall of even the most mighty and holy of men, Bible stories explained through the knowledge we can put together throughout history might change someone's life.

Ancient Israel and ancient Canaan have a lot to learn from each other after all. Every culture has its own take on angels, demons, spirits, and ghosts.

From across the plane(t) these spiritual entities cover every topic and domain one could possibly think of. Of all of the cultures one can study, however, there is one that stands out as particularly ugly, brutal, debased, and horrific: Israel and the ancient Canaanites of around 200 BC.

They had many stories told of them throughout historical and religious texts. They range greatly in their topic, but what all records of these people tell of is the unmatched horror of their gods and religion.

From carnal depravity to child sacrifice, the gods and people of the region were a waking nightmare for all to see.


Let’s go over just a few of this region's polytheistic gods that struck fear and reverence in all who witnessed their horrible rituals to the horrific gods of Canaan.
