Can you point me to where Wikipedia says this? I'm not seeing it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taras_Bulba
(Forgive me, please, for stubbornly sticking to this seemingly minor issue when you're trying so valiantly to move from the specific to the general. It's not that I disagree with anything you're saying -- far from it. It's just that, so far as I know, there is very little else that Ra says that is on shaky ground fact-wise.)
Well, the result of my searching is that no one can say definitively that there was or was not in some form an historical figure by that name. I doubt there are very good surviving records from around that place and time.
On the other hand, I've never seen a chakra or an angel either. I judge them by their effect and their utility.
