Not OP but if you have a question please refrain from throwing insults while asking. HN's rules are relevant here:
> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names.
To answer your question:
Their original comment was noting that the idea of hypothermia allowing individuals to survive after appearing dead can be seen as far back as old religious texts.
A question was asked about what religion it was and whether it was actually instead a reference to a Sci-fi series (Stargate).
In response they explained that it's from Zoroastrian texts (which is one of the sets of religions texts Stargate draws a lot from). They went on to show a story from said texts that happened to be very similar to another well known fantasy work (Lord of the Rings). LoTR unlike Stargate doesn't explicitly draw from Zoroastrian texts but it's been speculated that Tolkien drew inspiration from Zoroastrianism on top of the other religious texts that Tolkien drew inspiration from.
Does this help explain the reason the comments' relation to the thread here?
