Part 1 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.

  • Good information and presentation. I recommend viewers read through the transcript as well for a full appreciation of the subject matter.

  • Yeah, that is of prime importance.

    I was wondering whether to just release it as a pdf file, as opposed to a video. Its quite difficult portraying this information in a video form once delving deeper.

    Thanks for the kind words.

  • @bengaylor873 How about I tell you to get fucked? I'm not your fellow, brother, or friend. It isn't my fault that you can't back up your claims of anything and instead resort to "I'm not going to waist any more time on you." I've shown to be an incredulous imbecile. I am the one who is done.

  • @danieljliversLXXXIX I have read more than that my fellow but you are not worth anymore a conversation. I have said all I can or am willing waste my time on. Pet your cat and tell it I said hey.

  • @bengaylor873 If you think that by reading Manly Hall's books you are an expert on Occult philosophies and history then you are sorely mistaken.

    "For your sake I hope you are right."

    Or what?

  • @danieljliversLXXXIX Believe what you want, I am very familiar with Nietzsche and I have read "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" by Manly P. Hall so I am also afluent in occult knowledge and philosophy. I don't care for sophists and there is no room for a respectable argument with you. We have made our points and our choices and have our opinions which we both hold to be true. For your sake I hope you are right.

  • @bengaylor873 So many presumptions. Why should god be all that is good? I've always loved Greek and Nordic mythology. Because those gods had something in them that Christianity doesn't: passion. Good and Evil was blured because of it. Because they knew that humans weren't capable of "perfect love." (Is there a perfect hate as well?) Their gods reflected human nature. I suggest (if I haven't already) reading Friedrich Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy.

  • @bengaylor873 If he was god then he shouldn't have had any trouble with anything.

  • @bengaylor873 The Christ was never real. It was a carry-over from the Pagan concept of the Logos and gnosis. The Christ only existed in the realms of myth and Pagan philosophy. Even so, what makes this Christ more wise then, say, Plato? or Heraclitus? or Diogenes? or even Pythagoras? (whose philosophies would later be corrupted by Christians). If you're speaking in parables then don't be surprised if people can't understand you.
