Any scholarly sources?

I'm wondering if we have any scholarly sources on the history of this tradition. It seems we have the Christian story, which isn't exactly reliable. Especially considering the natives may have been enslaved at that time and were being converted to Christianity. I wonder if there is evidence of more indigenous religious traditions existing beforehand. Pythagimedes ( talk) 19:40, 25 May 2021 (UTC) reply
