I think that the correct way is to see it as a whole...a continuum. Christianity is not copied from Judaism, the Quraan is not a bad copy of the Thorah and Gospels...the stories of Abraham, and Noah, and Solomon, David are not bad copies of each other in the Thorah, Gospels and Quraan. They are the same stories because they are actual historical events...(not because I can prove that, but because of the fact that those stories form the core of the holy message that God gives us over and over again in different scriptures)

I'm glad to see someone else trusting their intuition to actually notice this.

On the other hand, all religions originating from Middle Eastern civilizations are necessarily dumbed down versions of a kind of ancient knowledge; religions are from the masses to the masses. To really get to the ancient knowledge, one has to dig deeper, before civilizations emerged, to times when there was no langue, no religions and no large, urbanized populations.

I think Varg Vikernes is correct regarding civilization: https://www.burzum.org/eng/library/about_civilization.shtml
