Dying and resurrecting gods. Starshov E.V.

She leads its origins, at least from the same time as an ancient person, having mined a mammoth and satisfying a number of pressing needs, fed and tired, indulged in thoughts, looking at nature. The willy-nilly in the process of thinking about the fact that everything is “good”, he could not help but make a terrible and rather unpleasant conclusion: the world around him is moderately constant, changing cyclically, but he himself, thinking. Misfortunes, wars, old age and death take everyone away. The cycle of nature phenomena and elementary fear to fall out of it is the basis of the idea of ​​death and resurrection.
