Part 2 of a 3 part video

Is Jesus' crucifixion original? Or is it reminiscent of numerous mythology's preceding Christianity? This video assesses such a stance. Including an examination of the cross, what it symbolises, and its usage in past mythologies. Comparing religions, such as the Ancient Egyptian and the Hindu, in tracing the origins of the crucifixion tale. Sourcing numerous primary sources, including various Egyptian inscriptions and texts. Also including commentaries from various ancient authors and early church fathers, as well as modern erudite scholars in the fields of Egyptology, symbolism, Hinduism, comparative mythology and archaeoastronomy among others

This video is a map of other grounds to cover - it should help pave the way for further research. Subsequent videos will be going into more detail on the specifics, especially the contention regarding Krishna.

  • @VinnfordSansbury - That is right, but how old is the Egyptian book of the dead ? It may have been some later addition to Egyptian society, as many things happened with invasions, wars, conquering, etc... I have heard various quotes that all conflict on how old that Egyptian text really is, some claim the Tibetan version of the Book of Dead is far older, and some say otherwise.

  • These are great informative videos man, keep up the good work. NEVER let some brainwashed, uneducated, mind controlled religious NUT JOBS get you down. The only thing Christians have right is that Darwinian evolution is a scientific fraud, other than that, most Christians are just simple minded goons, believing what they are told, LONG before they will ever be man or woman enough to learn on their own like an individual, and not like some group thinking cult member with a lack of education.

  • Well made and interesting work though!

  • For example if we accept a jungian perspective one may state it is unsurprising that common ideas and symbols occur as they are fundamental to the psychological make-up of man.

    Be careful of always assuming correlation equates to causality!

  • You make a good point in that the nature of the deities changes or 'evolves' over time. This is as true in Jewish as in Egyptian myth. I think the trouble for your position is not showing that there is certain parallels and correlations between belief systems, but definitively demonstrating that a direct influence occurred causally.

  • I know, indeed, it does.

    I'll get searching for the sources for you. I'll send you a message, because I don't think it'll fit in a comment.

  • I need to shore up the sources that attest to brotherhood, I understand.

    I'll get searching for you later.

  • You've got great foot notes it seems, but where is the bibliography that tells me what HM is supposed to stand for?

  • I understand Set had other attributes, but the geneology in your video is wrong based on Egyptian texts I have read. I will check your transcript and see if you have something worthwhile in there though. Thanks for the link.

  • I never said that he was always negative.
