I found this deeply profound, and I just love the historical significance of places like these:
There is a rock outcrop that juts out below Mount Hermon (sacred mountain). It is called Caesarea Philippi. It was a place dedicated to the worship of many pagan gods such as Ba’al, the roman goddess Diane and the Greek throwback of the ancient Nephilim, Pan, the goat/man god.
Dug into the rock were various arched ledges for the idols of pagan gods and goddesses to sit. Temples were built so patrons could visit and worship various pagan deities, one after the other.
The temples had long since vanished but the etchings and ledges are still visible. Pictures: creative commons: https://vici.org/vici/17872/
There was a special court area built for the hypnotic flute playing Pan, the dancing goat/man god that chased woodland nymphs for sexual frolic. (Who the con, Alexander Hislop claims was really the first man, Adam in his book The Two Babylons) 😏
There was also an area set aside for Pan and the sacred goats, and another for Pan and the nymphs. There was a temple for Echo, (the goddess Pan couldn’t catch), a Temple for Zeus and one for the Greek goddess Nemesis.
