Daniel was cast into the lions' den, because others of the king's officers were jealous of him and contrived an accusation against him, leaving the king no choice but to attempt to kill Daniel in that manner.

Daniel was cast into the den of lions because he continued to worship God despite King Darius' decree prohibiting it. Jealous officials conspired against Daniel and convinced the king to issue the decree as a trap to punish Daniel for his faithfulness.

Christianity started as a cargo cult during the Roman Empire, so most biblical stories are set at around that time.
