the Santeria religion itself its about 400 years old. the Yoruba religion from which the Santeria religion evolved its about 3 to 4 thousand years old. IMO the Yoruba religion evolved from the old Egyptian and Canaanite religions of the Old Testament times.some of the oricha migth be old Egyptian and Canaan gods with different names. for example yemaya is related to Isis of Egypt.chango maybe related to Moloch the Canaan god.
