In the Bible, God warns Moses to keep the people away from the Holy Mountain, because they would not survive seeing God (Exodus 19). There is a similar idea in the Greek myth of Semele, who does not survive seeing Zeus.

Does anybody know similar stories? Babylonian and Egyptian stories are also welcome.
