Very interesting. I never knew Isis worship traveled outside of Egypt in ancient times, though I once knew a neopagan that worshiped her.

Love your videos. One request though. Since we use the Gregorian calendar, shouldn't we use BC/AD instead of BCE/CE? It seems only fair to do so and kind of a diss if we don't. It was a pretty major innovation. But if you have a better one, feel free to design it however you like.

In around 70ce, the Roman writer Tacitus described that the Germanic Suebian tribe, in what is now the Northern Germany/southern Danish border worshiped a goddess that Tacitus INSISTS is Isis, Whether it was actually Isis or was instead another local deity that resembled Her in Tacituss mind is not known. Whomever it was, at least looks so much like the Isis Tacitus knew about from this Romano-Egyptian syncretism that he assumed, somehow it MUST be Her, and he goes on to say that since Her symbol was a ship, she must be an imported goddess who's worship must have came to Germania from far away. More than a thousand years after Tacitus there are reports of German peasants still worshiping a goddess of prosperity whose symbol is a ship, and later still, in Scandinavia, the Goddess Freyja was said to have a magic ship that could take her anywhere, and had a special affinity for cats and women's magic, much like Isis

In the case of the former, especially with regards to Tacitus, I would say it would likely be case of the interpretatio Romana. After all, there were alleged close similarities between Mercury and Tyr as well, but to state that one inspired the other or that one was derived in a religious or cultural-sociological sense from the other would likely be a bit of a stretch. The Romans always contextualised foreign religions in terms of what was familiar to them; and considering the presence of a temple to Isis in Pompeii, I would wager that she was a familiar goddess to them by 70 CE. It isn't unknown, either, in that manner; on the contrary, scholarly opinion seems to be against the accuracy of his account when identifying the Germanic goddess as Isis.

*_Ashtarte_* was how the Canaanites and Phoenicians knew _Ishtar_ (so the earlier Sumerian *Inanna* was known to the Akkadians & Babylonians), but Isis has no known relation to her afaik; iirc Isis *was* identified by the Hellenes with Aphrodite as the former's worship spread across the wider Mediterranean, but they're not the same goddess not insomuch as Aphrodite is known to ultimately be a Hellenization of Ashtarte-Ishtar, anyway.

It's the scholarly convention when talking about ancient religious groups like this. "Cult" in the sense of the Latin word "cultus" (where we get "cultivation")...meaning: "the care and devotion of a particular god or saint."

@@deka0014 Pretty much every academic source uses "cult" in a neutral way to refer to any institutionalized devotional practice, regardless of origin. The term was established well before it took on a negative connotation in common usage. You might see mention of the cult of a particular saint in the context of present-day orthodox Christianity, for example.
