Copied their religion, the hoplite phalanx and even manipular tactics from the Greco-Thracian mercenary army of Cyrus the Younger. What a sham.

Incas never met the Mayans, plus they're really culturally different

Also, wait the Mayans came first

It's more like the Romans and Greeks copied the Etruscans. Then when Rome invaded they noticed they ripped off the same shit and rewrote all the Greek stories to be more dramatic and about Roman gods.

This is why you have some weird mismatched shit like Saturn simultaneously being a celebrated harvest god who also eats babies and gods like Janus that don't have a Greek equivalent because the Greeks didn't rip off that one.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

You'll be shocked to realize that the Roman religion isn't the last religion to borrow aspects from existing religions to make it easier for people to convert by selling the new religion as "oh yea, we have those gods too, but our name for them is _____"

The Greeks were around waaay before the Etruscans, and Etruscans were more of a Steppe culture and religion. Rome adopted a lot of stuff from the Etruscans, but Greece was well established in culture and religion before Etruscans were ever a thing.

Most people don't know this, but the she-wolf that raised Romulus and Remus was a three-time chess champion.

Greece was the low-budget British original that lasted 8 episodes.

Rome was the high-budget American remake that had 270 episodes in its main series, numerous spinoffs that each had several hundred episodes each, and is what everyone quotes years later.
Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Of course they ran into a problem when they went to a little province called Judea whose inhabitants were really adamant about their one true God was the only god...

Assuming this topic is serious, Greeks did more than their fair share of borrowing from other civilizations but at least they were also willing to adapt to and appreciate said cultures to a degree, unlike the Romans who damn near erased everything they didn't like. Also Scipio ripped off Hannibal's tactics.
