You take a phone from the 1980s back to the 1700s and even the greatest minds would think it magic. You would just think it old. So much of what we view as normal would blow their minds. Seeing a 90-year-old would be news all on its own. Add the million other things we have and we would be viewed as gods.
How deeply tied slavery, misogyny and homophobia are to religion in your opinion? How does it affect this scenario?
2: As for misogyny I'm unsure on how this would affect this. I don't know much about the world in 13th century BCE. I would need to look into views held around the world at and around this time. I do know that women held some power in many parts of the world throughout history. I'm just unsure if any effect this in any meaningful way.
With that said this is what I could find about views on women in Greece around the 540s BCE.

So a fair bit afterwards but I don't think it should matter all too greatly. I don't believe views on women would be all that updated by this point.
3: This is what I have found in views on gay folks at least in Greece. So again, this is likely set after the 1200s BCE, but it should nevertheless be a useful idea on how people viewed homosexuality around 2000+ years ago, at least in Greece. Luckly, I do have at least a somewhat better idea on their views on this seeing as I know that gay people were a common thing and that their views were at least a fair bit better than what it likely would be in 2015's WV.

(Note some colorful words are used in this one) Still it may be worth a watch. It covers the King James bible, at least the king it's named after...um love life.
