Source refs: `video:predictive-history-eggfqdv-rpc@transcript:v1#seg-0006` - model: Polytheistic pantheons are framed as religious records of war: conquered gods become subordinate to the victorious god, as in Zeus ruling the Greek pantheon. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-eggfqdv-rpc@transcript:v1#seg-0006` - model: He models polytheism as an outgrowth of settled-town competition: each place has a patron god, and defeated gods become subordinate to victorious gods, forming a pantheon. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-cylkqpsffry@transcript:v1#seg-0002` - model: Inca religious tolerance is described as imperial incorporation: conquered peoples can worship their gods as long as they acknowledge the supremacy of the Inca god.
