Here it is

Are legends much more important than we realize ?

Examples :

Is it possible all of the Old Testament is just an amalgam of legends ?

Think what an impact that the following legends have had, recently

The Book of Mormon

The Pearl Beyond Price

Harry Potter stories

Milne stories

George R Martin stories

Frank L. Baum stories

Daniel Defoe stories

The Lord of the Rings

In each case, they are not only reflecting an older set of legends [ the Arthurian and Quest of the Grail cycles], and the Iliad and the Odyssey, but also the Decameron, the Canterbury Tales.

So then. wouldn't the reflection of the tales of the Egyptians, of Zoroaster, of the Vedas, of the tales and legends of the Sumerians, Assyrians, Mittani, Lycians, Luwians, Hittites, Urartuians, Ugarites, Akkadians, and Amalekites be a legitimate basis for the Old Testament ?
