well when you put it that way, I guess those Levi priests werent all that dumb... bbq meat everyday
And that is the corruption, of the son's of Levi, that brought down the curse of Adonai ... paleo-diet ;-) But at least the meat was kosher. Boiled and salted meat mostly (not BBQ) with the blood drained first. The stuff on the fire was for Adonai. Pagan priests may have roasted their meat, when they weren't eating it "tartar". So BBQ is actually blasphemy in Judaism ;-)
Here is an ancient Greek joke ... in mythology, when animal sacrifice was invented, Prometheus (the Titan) that created mankind and provide them with fire, instructed them on the smart way to feed the gods. So basically Prometheus (foresight) arranged a trick. Two piles of animal sacrifice were provided for Zeus to choose from. He had the human cover good meat with skins, and cover bones with the animal fat. Zeus wanted high calories ... so he chose the appetizing looking pile (who wants to eat cracklins (fried pork skin) unless you are Texan, right?). So turned out, the priests (and the contributors of the sacrificial animal) got the better deal, and Zeus had one more reason to eternally persecute Prometheus.
Zeus (aka Dios in PIE) doesn't like foresight, he likes hindsight (Epimetheus, the brother of Prometheus). Zeus invented woman, gave her to Epimetheus, along with the Pandora's box of wedding gifts. Zeus warned Epimetheus about having Pandora not open the box, but he knew that Epimetheus would forget, and Pandora's curiosity would get the better of her.
