Vishnu I don't know

2017-02-12 18:22:13 UTC  

I don't believe he is in the vedas, but I could be wrong

2017-02-12 18:22:16 UTC  

yes even though shiva was already a seperate local god

2017-02-12 18:22:19 UTC  

that was probably carjack

2017-02-12 18:22:22 UTC  

that was found in the indus valley

2017-02-12 18:22:27 UTC  

Yeah Shiva was likely something they appropriated

2017-02-12 18:22:29 UTC  

they are reading shiva back onto the aryan god

2017-02-12 18:22:32 UTC  

Well, maybe not Shiva

2017-02-12 18:22:33 UTC  

just as the greeks did

2017-02-12 18:22:37 UTC  

but certainly aspects of Shiva

2017-02-12 18:22:41 UTC  

reading mercury onto odin

2017-02-12 18:22:45 UTC  

the deity that became shiva

2017-02-12 18:23:09 UTC  

it would be like going back to ancient greece, not knowing anything, seeing jupiter enthroned and presuming that's where jesus enthroned in heaven came from

2017-02-12 18:23:11 UTC  

and the answer is yes

2017-02-12 18:23:37 UTC  

I can see them adopting Latin artwork, it makes sense

2017-02-12 18:23:45 UTC  

>greece
>jupiter

2017-02-12 18:23:46 UTC  

Jagganath is considered an aspect of Shiva

2017-02-12 18:23:47 UTC  

they stole Hermes for angles and cupid for cherub art

2017-02-12 18:23:50 UTC  

yeah right dangerous dan

2017-02-12 18:23:53 UTC  

he is definitely an older, local god

2017-02-12 18:23:57 UTC  

of tribal people

2017-02-12 18:24:00 UTC  

no they're actually cupids

2017-02-12 18:24:04 UTC  

or nikes

2017-02-12 18:24:12 UTC  

even in medieval christian art

2017-02-12 18:24:23 UTC  

handing out laurel crowns of victory

2017-02-12 18:24:34 UTC  

jeebus has that power

2017-02-12 18:24:35 UTC  

I mean they use them from greek mythology

2017-02-12 18:24:48 UTC  

I thought cherubs lead to the popular envisioning of cupid

2017-02-12 18:24:52 UTC  

rather than the other way round

2017-02-12 18:24:56 UTC  

I cannot tell cupid apart from the christian depictions based on old roman art

2017-02-12 18:24:58 UTC  

maybe I'm misremembering

2017-02-12 18:25:39 UTC  

cupids tug at the heels of kings as kings are descended from venus

2017-02-12 18:25:53 UTC  

the winged smaller angels are something different

2017-02-12 18:26:09 UTC  

Cupid delux

2017-02-12 18:26:14 UTC  

I notied Hermes is their version of an angel

2017-02-12 18:26:19 UTC  

as angel means 'winged messenger' in Iranian

2017-02-12 18:26:20 UTC  

hermes is a god

2017-02-12 18:26:31 UTC  

they use the exact same art

2017-02-12 18:26:36 UTC  

i forgot who presents the crowns of victory from nike

2017-02-12 18:27:08 UTC  
2017-02-12 18:27:09 UTC  

but anyway, I am just supporting what you said about christians adopting greco-roman art style
