Genesis 2:7 "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

I have a similar question. When were aliens first hypothesized to exist?

Since we've known about other planets since ancient times someone must have thought maybe there was life on them. Or on the moon for that matter.

Golems have existed in Hebrew mythology for quite some time. They're at least as old as the Talmud but probably much older.

Bruno did say about other planets and people on them, at least. That kind of shit is what he was burned for, not exactly the heliocentrism

>>9282453
The ancients described the planets themselves as living beings though; Jupiter Mars et al

Planets weren't originally thought to be like Earth. They were assumed to be stars. The thing that made them different from the other stars and that got them a special name is that they would move. The word 'planet' actually comes from the old Greek word for 'wanderer.'

Nuada of the Irish pantheon had a silver arm that replaced one lost in battle. Of course back then that meant you could no longer be King as they were supposed to be flawless. He later found his arm preserved in a bog, reattached it and reclaimed kingship.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuada_Airgetl%C3%A1m

Thought of his automatons too but they weren't living beings in the proper sense, they were just machines that could walk and do shit for him.
