Well then my ARES spec. is out the window...

More ancient then greece, with singular myth... Judaism? {too lengthy), Shinto? (too lengthy), Titans? (only if one myth is a heckload of history, plus still technically greek), Celtic?, Norse? , Dreamtime? , Mesoamerican? , Egyptian? , Voudou? theyre the foundations of entire religious life, by their definition, these things are complex interwoven stories that certainly reach a sum greater then one. Chistianity? Islam? Scientology? Roman? Wiccan?, All after Greece, automatically cut.

Hmm if you break down the earlier ones, you can get it to a singular central Myth, the basis of a number of cults. We have ISIS & Osiris from Egypt, The Titanomachy, Ragnarok, Stone Henge (ALIENS), Faeries Oberon+Titania, Camelot, Aten, Garden of Eden..., Moses, Revelations, "2012", War of Heavens.... Shinto, Oz, and the rest really have no Main Myths that I'm aware of.

Now let's try this again...
 * Titans done to death.
 * Camelot getting to a similar point, but its big in DC, so perhaps.
 * Aten? obscure so would need exposition. Too vilified by the past, in a modern world it would instantly be compared to Islam, too controversial.
 * War of the Heavens? Similar case of controversy as much as I'd love to see. There's no way I've seen a portrayal of Lucifer as Lucifer, which is fairly necessary, that didn't result in more sympathy then the God-side.
 * Moses could be wrong, there's less controversy to be found in the myths of Moses, He's a dude who freed his people and led em through adversity. They aren't empathizing with the Devil or using a middle eastern religion proclaiming the One God which was enforced over the traditional Egyptian Pantheon which is considered by historians and figures from the past as an atrocity. BUT it's Jewish, always a risk.
 * Ragnarok. done a lot, I'm not a fan of seeing it by YJ.
 * Osiris... it would be completely and utterly impossible to stop the Jason/tula/ted/... is alive if it's this, but the "search the world looking for components" thing certainly lines up (if a tad more grusemely then with a spear...)
 * Stone Henge. Maybe, but we're kinda using every alien story possible in season two.
 * Faeries. Possible. A tad obscure, but quite interesting IMO. This is probably my most hopeful option.
 * Garden of Eden... Well well well.
 * Mayan Calendar... After surviving 2012 when it's supposed to come out? can't use the 2012 aspect, BUT there'd definitely be room for "What happens after"... Or they could do an asspull that we survive 2012 because of the Team.
 * Revelations. Difficult to pull off, some people are iffy about it as well.

Now we have: Ragnarok, Osiris, Stone Henge, Faeries, Garden, 2012 and Revelations. Boss and Seperation potential.
 * Ragnarok: Boss: so many "bad guys" to choose from, I mean it was a literal case of everything F*ing dying. Components: Seen it done with Mjolnir in Tomb Raider: Umderworld. There's more then one uber weapon in the northern faith.
 * Osiris: Boss: No idea, Sobek or Black Adam maybe?, Components, Osiris body, hopefully the Adrian Tomaz version.
 * Stone Hedge: No idea, Cthulu? components: alien stuff, key/ship,whatever.
 * Faeries: Boss: Well Oberon is typically a dick, wouldn't be hard to color him a villain. Maybe Maleficent.
 * Garden :Serpent for the Boss. Apple? for component maybe (i know it'd been done in Assassin's Creed...)
 * 2012: some mayan god could work wonders, Gog could probabyl work too.the mayan 2012+ calendar.
 * Revelations: Take on Satan i guess. One winged angel is a guarantee, but starting with the Inferno version/ that could be cool, definitely a great visual.

Sorry for the long post.
