Alexander the Great spread the Greek religion throughout the Mediterranean and into ancient Babylon and Persia. Then the Romans stole their religion when they conquered the Greeks. And for that we named the planets of our solar system after their gods. What's the big deal with these gods anyway?

Ancient Egypt and Babylon: two peas in a pod. They traded, they collaborated, they fought sometimes. They also shared some mythological inspiration.
