Ancient Baal
Baal (or more properly Ba'al) was worshiped as far back as three and a half thousand years ago among ancient Semitic tribes, such as the descendants of Shem (for those with a Biblical bent, he's believed by some religious scholars to be the oldest son of Biblical Noah) and as late as the Punic wars of the third century BCE. Some say that there are elements of Baal worship which can still be seen today in various cultures of the Middle East -- and maybe even in your own backyard.
