Peace to advocators of truth:

Was "Jesus" literally an individual; or a plagarized story about sun symbolism?

Here a summary of the events that occured in the "Jesus" story. He was born to a virgin by immaculate conception through the intervention of a holy spirit. This fulfilled an ancient prophecy. When he was born the ruling tyrant wanted to kill him. His parents had to flee to safety. All male children under the age of two were slain by the ruler as he sought to kill the child. Angels and shepards were at his birth and he was given gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. He was worshipped as the saviour of men and led a moral and humble life. He performed miracles which included healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, casting out devils and raising the dead. He was put to death on the cross between two thieves. He descended to hell and rose from the dead to ascend back to heaven.

Guess what? That is how the eastern saviour God known as Virishna was described 1,200 years before "Jesus" is claimed to have been born. If you want a saviour God who died so our sins could be forgiven, take your pick from the ancient world because there are a stream of them.

Here are just some of the "Son of God" heroes who play the lead role in stories which mirror those attributed to "Jesus" and almost all were worshipped long before "Jesus" was even heard of:

-Krishna of Hindostan
-Buddha Sakia of India
-Salivahana of Bermuda
-Zulis, or Zhule, also Osiris and Orus, of Egypt
-Odin of the Scandinavians
-Crite of Chaldea
-Zoroaster and Mithra of Persia
-Baal and Taut, "the only Begotten of God," of Phoenicia
-Indra of Tibet
-Bali of Afghanistan
-Jao of Nepal
-Wittoba of the Bilingonese
-Thammuz of Syria
-Atys of Phrygia
-Xamolxis of Thrace
-Zoar of the Bonzes
-Adad of Assyria
-Deva Tat, and Sammonocadam of Siam
-Alcides of Thebes
-Mikado of the Sintoos
-Beddru of Japan
-Hesus of Eros, and Bremrillah, of the Druids
-Thor, son of Odin, of the Gauls
-Cadmus of Greece
-Hil and Feta of the Mandaites
-Gentaut and Quexalcote of Mexico
-Universal Monarch of the Sibyls
-Ischy of the Island of Formosa
-Divine Teacher of Plato
-Holy One of Xaca
-Fohi and Tien of China
-Adonis, son of the virgin Io of Greece
-Ixion and Quirnus of Rome
-Prometheus of Caucasus

Jesus is said to be the "judge of the dead". He has some competition there. This was also said of the earlier Nimrod, Khrisha, Buddha, Ormuzd, Osiris, Aeacus and others. Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. So were Khrishna, Buddha, Lao-kiun, Bacchus, Zeus and others. Jesus is claimed to have performed miracles such as healing the sick and raising people from the dead. So did Khrishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Bochia, Horus, Osiris, Serapis, Marduk, Bacchus, Hermes and others. Jesus was born of royal blood. So were Buddha, Rama, Fo-hi, Horus, Hercules, Bacchus, Perseus and others. Jesus was born to a virgin. So were Khrishna, Buddha, Lao-kiun or Tsze, Confusius, Horus, Ra, Zoroaster, Prometheus, Perseus, Apollo, Mercury, Baldur, Quetzalcoatl and far too many others to mention. Jesus will, we are told, be born again. The sky is going to be rather crowded because Khrishna, Vishnu, Buddha, Quezalcoatl and others will also be there. The "star" at the birth of Jesus is another multi-deity story and goes back at least to the Babylonian tale of Nimrod who, in a dream, saw a brilliant star rising above the horizon. The soothsayers told him that this foretold the birth of a child who would become a great prince. It's all recycling. Jesus is a myth man.

Here are a few more Bible myths to expose:

The idea of the "carpenter" is a translation error. The English translation of "carpenter" comes from the Hebrew word naggar, via the Greek, ho tekton. These words do not mean literally a "carpenter", but people who were masters of their craft, and the word was applied to teachers and scholars as well as craftsmen.

Jesus was definitely not born in a stable, and not a single gospel claims this is so. The Christmas nativity is complete invention. The concept comes from Luke's Gospel which says that Jesus was laid in a manger, an animal feeding box, because there was no room in the inn. But the Greek version, from which the English translation came, says there was no "topos" in the "kataluma"-there was no place in the room. Matthew's Gospel specifically states that Jesus was in a house: "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and fell down and worshipped him." Mangers were often used for babies when a proper cradle was not available, but they moved the manger to the baby, not the baby to the manger!

The nativity scene apparently originates with St. Francis of Assisi in Greccio, Italy, in 1223 AD. He brought together some local people and their livestock to illustrate the birth of Jesus, and this nativity scene quickly caught on. Manger scenes carved from wood became popular all over Italy at Christmas, and the rest is history. Giving gifts is not a Christian custom, either. This was done in the Pagan world at New Year long before Christianity. The Christians simply borrowed it, as they did everything else.

The prophecies said that the "messiah" (messeh, the crocodile of Egypt) would be called Emmanuel, but the name of the Gospel "messiah" was Jesus, or at least its Judean equivalent. Oops! Funny how Christians seem to miss this point when they quote the prophecy about the coming of "Emmanuel" every Christmas. Think of all those children who have been dressed up as Mary, Joseph, shepherds, wise men, donkeys, cows and sheep. This fantasy has been used to indoctrinate countless generations to believe that this is how it all happened, when, in truth, the nativity and the Christmas story are the acting out of translation errors, an invention of St. Francis, and the mid-winter rituals of pagan beliefs. I say, Jenny and Johnny, before you don those costumes this year, can I have a quiet word?

The Christian Eucharist, when they eat bread and drink wine to symbolize the body and blood of Christ, originates with a cannibalistic ritual when they ate and drank the real thing in animal and human sacrifices. Most of the Christian terms come from the Greek, including Christ and Christianity. Among many others are Church (the Lord's House), Ecclesiastical (Ecclesia, the Greek Assembly or Parliament), Apostle (missionary), Presbyter/priest (elder), and baptism (immersion).

Even according to the Gospel stories, terrorists surrounded Jesus. Simon Magus was known as Simon Zelotes (the Zealot) to acknowledge his role as a commander of the Zealots, the "freedom fighters" who advocated a war against the Romans. Another description is Simon "Kananites", a Greek word meaning fanatic. This was translated into English as Simon the Canaanite! Judas "Iscariot" derives from the word Sicarius, which meant assassin. There was a terrorist group called the Sicarii or Sons of the Dagger, and this name comes from the word, Sica, meaning curved dagger. Sicarius became the Greek, Sikariotes, and this was later mistranslated into English as Iscariot. The Zealots-Sicarii would raid Roman supply caravans and ambush their soldiers very much along the lines of terrorist groups like the IRA in Northern Ireland.

People were not crucified for theft, which makes the story of the two thieves crucified with Jesus another invention. It is a "steal" once again because the same story was told about some the Pre-Christian Jesus figures. The punishment for the "crimes" Jesus was accused of in the Gospels would have been stoning to death by the Judean authorities, not the Romans.

Pontius Pilatus, the Roman Procurator in this period, is supposed to have washed his hands and passed on responsibility for the death of "Jesus" to the crowd. The washing of hands to indicate innocence was the custom of the Essene community. The Bible says that it was the Roman custom at the time of the Passover Festival to offer a prisoner for release, but this is simply not true. There was no such custom and the scene is invention.

You can write an entire book about the myths in the Bible and, in fact, someone has. It's called, appropriately, Bible Myths [T. W. Doane], and if you want detailed documentation of the information in this chapter I thoroughly recommend it. There is no credible evidence whatsoever for the existence of Jesus. No archaeological evidence, no written evidence, nothing. So it is with Solomon, Moses, David, Abraham, Samson and countless other biblical "stars". All we have are the Levite texts and the Gospel stories in their various versions. So desperate did the religious manipulators become to cross reference "Jesus" that they inserted a pathetically obvious addition into the works of the "Jewish" historian, Josephus, to support the unsupportable. More than 40 writers are known to have chronicled the events of these lands during the alleged time of Jesus, but they don't mention him. A guy who did all the things that he was supposed to have done, and no one records it? Philo lived throughout the supposed life of Jesus and wrote a history of the Judeans which covered the whole of this period. He even lived in or near Jerusalem when Jesus was said to have been born and Herod was supposed to have killed the children, yet he doesn't record any of this. He was there when Jesus is said to have made his triumphant arrival in Jerusalem and when he was crucified and rose from the dead on the third day. What does Philo say about these fantastic events? Nothing. Not a syllable. Not a titter. None of this is mentioned in any Roman record or in the contemporary accounts of the writers of Greece and Alexandria who were familiar with what happened there. Why? Because it didn't happen! It was a symbolic, coded story to pass on esoteric and astrological knowledge of many kinds and, most crucially, to create another prison-religion based on the symbols of the Babylonian Brotherhood. The human race has been had. Big time. [Underscoring and insertion added.]

Symbolically drinking the blood and eating the body of Christ does indeed seem to be cannibalistic. How is it that most of us, including me, until recently, have missed this rather obvious point?

When a book is translated once, not to mention multiple times, mistranslation of terms, and idioms, is a major concern. Yet, how many times have we heard that the Bible is the absolute word of God? And that doesn't even take into account the number of ecclesiastical councils that purposely altered the text-all with the best of (divinely inspired) intentions, of course.

The New Testament, the Church and Christianity, were all the creation of the Calpurnius Piso (pronounced Peso) family who were Roman aristocrats. The New Testament and all the characters in it-Jesus, all the Josephs, all the Marys, all the disciples, apostles, Paul, John the Baptist-all are fictional. The Pisos created the story and the characters; they tied the story to a specific time and place in history; and they connected it with some peripheral actual people, such as the Herods, Gamaliel, the Roman procurators, etc. but Jesus and everyone involved with him were created (that is fictional!) characters.

Christianity was a male bastion from its very foundation, created to suppress the balancing female energy.

The Christian Church was built to represent and perpetuate the extreme male vibration, the sun energy, and to keep the ancient knowledge secret. The Christian Church became a crucial and highly effective vehicle to remove knowledge from circulation so it could be used secretly and malevolently from behind the scenes. The assault on the balancing female energy and the hoarding of knowledge resulted in the persecution of "witches"-channellers, mediums, psychics and seers of all kinds.

After Constantine the Great came other emperors who influenced the course of the fast emerging Christian creed. Among them was Theodosius who made Christianity the official religion of the empire in 380. The power of the men in frocks grew enormously as the Babylonian priesthood dropped anchor in Rome. Anyone who strayed even marginally from the official beliefs was brutally executed and their documents destroyed-exactly the Nimrod doctrine of Babylon. This is not just a bunch of power-crazed psychopaths ad-libbing their way through this grotesque slaughter. It was a coldly calculated plan to rule by terror and, in doing so, take any other knowledge or versions of life out of public circulation.

Let's proceed:

King Solomon and his temple are more symbolism. There is no historical evidence for the existence of a man called Solomon, except in the texts produced by the Levites. The Levites were a group of Hebrew priests that began to write a manufactured history, during the 6th century BC, which obscured the truth. During and after their stay in Babylon, with its wealth of inherited knowledge and stories from Sumer, the Levites mixed truth, often symbolic truth, with fantasies and this concoction became the foundations of the Old Testament. The Levites were a bunch of human sacrificing, blood drinking fanatics; and they compiled the law which Jewish people to this day are supposed to follow. Likewise many Christians fanatics quote these texts as the word of God. The Sumerian Tablets prove beyond question that Genesis was a much edited and condensed version of Sumer records. The Sumerian story of Edin became the Levite's biblical Garden of Eden. Remember Moses the story of "Moses" being found in the bulrushes by the Egyptian princess? The same story was told by the Sumerians. According to the Levites, Moses was given his laws and commandments by God on to of a mountain. One reason for this is that the top of a mountain is closer to their symbol of God, the sun. Mount Sion means Sun Mountain. The sun rising over the eastern mountains is still a major symbol today. The Ancient Egyptians symbolised the sun rising in the east as Horus, their Son of God. Hence we have the term hori-zon or horus is rising. When the sun was going down in the at dusk, it was symbolised as Set. Set was the Egyptian symbol for the force of darkness; hence sunset. There is no historical evidence for the existence of a man called Moses, except in the texts produced by Levites and other writings and opinions stimulated by these texts. So where did the name Moses come from? Every initiated person who attained the highest rank in the Egyptian mystery shools was called a Muse, Mose or Moses. Manetho, an Egyptian historian, from the third century BC, quoted by the Jewish historian Josephus, says that he was a priest at Heliopolis or ON (Place of the Sun), and afterwards he was given the title of Mosheh or Moses. The word Moses means: he who has been taken away, he who has been put out from the waters, who has been made a missionary. The chief priest in the Egyptian temples was called Eove or Eova, hence the emergence of the title Jehovah, and the hebrew language is really the language of the Egyptian mystery shools.

The three syllables in Sol-Om-On are all names for the sun in three languages. Not once does Solomon's name appear in any inscriptions before the levites wrote their texts. A greek historian named Herodotus (485-425 BC), travelled and researched the lands and history of Egypt and the near East. He heard nothing of the empire of Solomon. Nor did Plato in his travels to the same area. Manly P. Hall wrote that Solomon and his wives and concubines were symbolic of the planets, moons, asteroids and other receptive bodies within his house (the solar mansion). Solomon's Temple is symbolic of the domain of the Sun. The book of Kings and Chronicles, which recount the building of Solomon's Temple, were written between 500 to 600 years after the events they are supposed to be describing.

The ancients also symbolised the sun as a baby in December, a youth at Easter, an immensely strong man by the summer, an aging man losing his power in the autumn, and an old man by the winter solstice. They also symbolised the sun as having long golden hair (sun rays) which got shorter as he lost his power in the months of autumn. Now look at the old testament story of Samson (Sam-sun) He was incredibly strong and had long hair, but he lost his power when is hair was cut. The problems started when he entered the House of Delilah, the astrological house of Virgo, the virgin, through which the sun passes as autumn approaches. Samson is a symbolic story of the sun's annual cycle. There wasn't any such person. In Hebrew, Samson means: I understand, the God of the Sun.

Sol (Latin for Sun) Om (Sanskrit for Sun) On (Coptic for Sun). Notice how the vowel O is symmetrically placed troughout the name Solomon 3 times. Aside from looking like the Sun, O is also the 15th letter of the english alphabet.

O O O
15 15 15
1+5 1+5 1+5=
6 6 6

The number "666" is the number of the Sun-Square, which has 12 factors; just as the Sun has 12 signs of the zodiac; and as Solomon is king of the 12 tribes of Israel. A common theme in all esoteric school traditions is of 12 tribes, disciples, knights or followers surrounding a deity. The number 12 is a code, among other things, for the 12 months of they year and houses of the zodiac through which symbolically travels the Sun symbolized as 13. This is the sacred 12 and 1, as some people describe it, and it is one major reason why the numbers 12 and 13 reoccur. Thus you have the 12 tribes of Israel, 12 prines of Ishmael, 12 disciples or follwers of Jesus, Buddha, Osiris, and Quetzalcoatl etc. There is also King Arthur and his 12 knights of the round table (the zodiac circle); and the woman (Isis/Semiramis) with a crown of 12 stars in the Book of Revelation. This continues today with these same symbols are used, by the brotherhood secret society network, in nation flags, coats of arms, advertising and company logos etc. The Sun and zodiac circle is at the entrance of a financial building in London, called Bracken House, near St. Paul's Cathedral. The European Union, has a circle of 12 stars as its symbol.

The numbers 7 and 40 are also code numbers in the Bible and other esoteric texts. In the Bible we have 7 spirits of God, 7 churches of Asia, 7 golden candlesticks, 7 stars, 7 lamps of fire, 7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 angels, 7 thunders; then the red dragon with 7 heads and 7 crowns. The story of Jericho has Joshua marching his army around the city for 7 days, accompanied by 7 priests carrying 7 trumpets. On the 7th day they circled Jericho 7 times and the walls came tumbling down. In the story of Noah, 7 pairs of each animal go into the ark and 7 pairs of each type of bird. There are 7 days between the prediction of the flood and the rain; and 7 days between the sending of doves. The ark comes to rest on the 17th day of the 7th month. After the flood Noah begins his 7th century. Then there's 40. Adam enters Paradise when he is 40 years old; Eve follows 40 years later; during the flood it rains 40 days and 40 nights; Seth is carried away by angels when he is 40 and is not seen for 40 days; Moses is 40 when he goes to Midian and he stays for 40 years; Joseph is 40 years old when Jacob arrives in Egypt; Jesus goes into the wilderness for 40 days. These stories are not literally true, they are esoteric school symbolism.

As I've stated previously that Jesus being crucified on a cross beam in the Gospels did not literally happened. Archeological evidence, from that period, finds no crosses; but instead stone coffins are opened, unearthed by archeologists, revealing bodies still nailed to stakes or poles, not crosses. So where did the cross symbol come from? The ancients used a particular symbol to describe the sun's annual cycle. This symbol is called the circle of the zodiac (a Greek word for animal circle). Within the circle they inserted a vertical and horizontal line, a cross, to mark the four seasons. At the center of the cross, they placed the Sun. Leonardo da Vinci, the grand master of the Priory of Sion (Sun), used this same symbol in his famous painting of the Last Supper. He divided the 12 disciples into four groups of three with Jesus in the center.

Syriac Depiction of "The Last Supper"

The cross and the circle have inspired the Celtic cross:

Let's keep it mov'n:

To understand astronomical symbolism is to understand the major religions. The Bible reads that Jesus was crucified (died) between two thieves. Well, people were not crucified for theft which makes the two thieves another symbol. The two thieves represent two zodiac signs. How is that? First we must realize Jesus is a personification of the Sun. According to the ancients, the Sun symbolically comes to its death at the winter solstice. Death is marked by motionlessness and solstice means, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, to stand still or pause. The winter solstice begins December 22nd every year. The Sun is at its weakest state during that time. December 22nd is the transition from Sagitarius to Capricorn, the two thieves, which symbolically "robs" the Sun of its power. The Sun is at its lowest point, and we know that hell is low, of trajectory (the angle of its rays) at that time. This is biblically symbolized by Jesus descending into hell. The word solstice is used because the Sun "stands still" at that trajectory for 3 days. After 3 days, on December 25th, it begins to rise (ascend into the heavens) northward again. Next the Sun (Jesus) enters the zodiac house of Aquarius (the water bearer) or John the Baptist, and gets baptized in water. Then the Sun enters the zodiac house of Pisces (the fish), which is personified by Jesus finding his first followers (fishermen). The Bible tells us at age 12 (noon) Jesus was doing his father's work in the temple, worshipping the "Most High." The Sun was at the heart of ancient Egyptian religion and at 12 noon when the Sun was at its peak, of its daily cycle, they prayed to the "Most High." This is still practiced in Islam. Muslims pray at 12 noon, coincidence?

The more I study the origins of the "monotheistic" religions, I find that they are based on astronomical symbolism. More people have died and killed in the name of religion than for any other cause. The religiously blinded masses have been made to beLIEve that the symbolic characters and events written in scripture is based on literalism. Thus you have people, as I was one, willing to argue, fight, kill, and die over symbolic things. They got Christians mad at Jews about a crucifixion, that did not happen; and Muslims arguing with Christians over what "Jesus" meant about a character called the Comforter (the sun), as if Jesus really existed. The love for lack of knowledge is the root of evil; and religion is designed to keep the believer believing and not interested in knowing. The doctrine of hell fire has the believer terrorified of being open-minded to anything that may contradict their religious beliefs. I'll quote the biblical character Hosea 4:6, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hence, it didn't say belief.

Muslims validate Mohammad Ibn Abdullah's prophethood based on a quote that "Jesus" made about a comforter. It's been proven that "Jesus" is as much a symbolic character as Heru, Mithra, Krishna, Zeus and even Hercules. The Koran speaks of him as an actual historical person, which is why I don't count out the possibilty of the Vatican having a role in the development of Islam. Some of the bloodiest conflicts in history have resulted from the desire of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism to impose their creed on each other, when they all come from the same source and the same manipulation! Muslims also give credence to the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament attributed to "Moses." In truth, they were written by the Levites after Babylon and not by "Moses", which was a title in the Kemetic (Egyptian) mystery schools. The Levites were a group of Hebrew priests that began to write a manufactured history, during the 6th century BC, which obscured the truth. During and after their stay in Babylon, with its wealth of inherited knowledge and stories from Sumer, the Levites mixed truth, often symbolic truth, with fantasies and this concoction became the foundations of the Old Testament. The Levites were a bunch of human sacrificing, blood drinking heathens! Remember Moses the story of "Moses" being found in the bulrushes by the Egyptian princess? The same story was told by the Sumerians. Muslims say that Mohammed had his vision near a cave he used to go to. Caves and dark places constantly recur in stories of symbolism and sun gods like Mithra and Jesus. What followed his encounter with "Gabriel" was a bloodbath spanning the centuries to the present day, as Mohammed and his successors sought to impose their creed on the world.

Islam is not the opposite of Christianity and Judaism, they are all oppo-sames. The same state of mind with a different name, ultimately founded and controlled by the same people.

Like the Sun, "Mother Earth" has cycles. The Sumerian Tablets, which the Bible is a summary of, illustrates these cycles. The Sumerians knew about the cycle of what is called precession. This is the effect of the Earth's wobble which slowly moves the planet on its axis; so that it faces different star systems or astrological houses. As the records show, the Sumerians knew that it takes the Earth 2,160 years to move through each of the 12 astrological houses; and that it takes 25,920 years for it to make a complete revolution. We are completing one of these cycles now. Ancient temples all around the world reflect these cycles of precession in their geometry and mathematics. The ancients knew of the Earth's energy grid and its potential to affect human conciousness. Being that we live in the Earth's magnetic field, when it changes we change. The symbol of the fish is a theme throughout the Gospel stories. The first symbol of the Christian faith was the fish, not the cross. Jesus was often depicted as a fish. This is because around the time Jesus was supposedly born, the Earth had just entered the astrological house of Pisces. We are now entering another age, the age of Aquarius, according t the laws of the Earth wobble precession. When the Bible talks of the end of the world, that's a mistranslation. They translate world for the Greek aeon; but aeon doesn't mean world it means age. According the Maya calendar the critical changeover point is December 12th 2012. The ancients knew of these great cycles of change and all the ancient calendars end in the period we are living through now. The Maya said that there would be a transition period between the old world and the new; as one version of time was replaced by another. They called this period no time; and they said this would begin July 1982 and lead to the shift on December 12th 2012. Many people call this the information age. The affect this is having on the masses is becoming more and more visible. Not yet the majority, but the numbers are increasing by the day as this spiritual alarm clock awakens people from their slumber.

Chronology of some of Jesus' archetypes:

Heru (Horus in Greek) dates from 2000 BC: parallel to the story of Jesus in that he was also born of a virgin mother, received gifts from magi and was also crucified.

Tammuz dates from 2000 BC: Tammuz is the Hebrew name for Dumuzu, a god who was worshipped in Syria and Babylon. Tammuz was born to a virgin, named Mylitta, on December 25.

Adonis of Babylon dates from 2000 BC: Born of a virgin mother, Adonis was both son and husband of his mother, Ishtar. This is a version of the concept of trinity and is a central tenant of Christianity. Adonis was also crucified, resurrected and assumed into a heaven.

The Krishna of India was dated to 1200 BC. His story is one of announced birth, visitation by magi and advanced age abilities. His life was sought by the local king, he was claimed to have performed miracles and was also crucified.

Heracles dates back to 800 BC: Heracles was worshipped in Greece. In the Roman Empire, he was named Hercules. Heracles was born on December 25 to a virgin who refrained from sex with her until her God-begotten child was born.

Mithra dates from 600 BC in Rome: He was brought gifts at his birth by magi, worshiped by shepherds, followed by 12 companions and was executed by crucifixion. The pre-Christian cult of Mithra had a deity of light and truth, son of the Most High, fought against evil, presented the idea of the Logos. Pagan Mithraism mysteries had the burial in a rock tomb, resurrection, sacrament of bread & water (Eucharist), the marking on the forehead with a mystic mark, the symbol of the Rock, the Seven Spirits and seven stars, all before the advent of Christianity.

Buddha, lived in ancient India between approximately 563 BCE and 483 BCE: The Buddha was of royal descent. Born of the Virgin Maya (â€œthe Queen of Heavenâ€?) on December 25th, announced by a star and attended by wise men presenting costly gifts. At his birth Brahma angels sang hymns. An aged holy woman beseeched the heavens to bless the child.
In Buddhism the virgin birth concept occupies a central place and the suggestion of immaculate conception is also made. Buddha taught in temple at age 12 and was able to match the wise religious scholars in their understanding.
He was tempted by Mara, the Evil One, while fasting, but overcame the temptation, putting the Evil One to flight.He was baptized in water with the Spirit of God present. He gained enlightenment under a tree known as the Bodhi Tree.He healed the sick; fed 500 from a small basket of cakes; walked on water.

Lao Zi dates back to 400 BC: Lao Zi was born of a virgin. China is the home of the Taoist faith initiated by Lao Zi, also known as Lao Tzu, Lao Tse or Lao Tze.

Attis dates from 200 BC in Rome also. Attis was claimed to be born of a virgin and was executed and resurrected after three days. This execution also was supposed to have occurred in March.

The worship of Dioynsus dates back several centuries BCE in Greece. The historian Livy mentions the faith in Rome as early as 186 BCE: Dionysus was born of the virgin Semele; his father was the supreme god Zeus. He was placed in a manger and reared in a cave ( Zeus was also reared in a cave).

Last but not least:

There can be no understanding of the major religions of the world unless one has a working knowledge and an unbiased appreciation of the way the ancient pre-Christian beliefs saw the spiritual world. An impossible task for some religious types given the extent to which man took away the brain the Almighty gave them. The late Dr. JH Clarke never tired of reminding us that Europeans not only colonised people but also colonised people's understanding of history. Nowhere is that more evident than in religion. In this essay, the second of a three-part glimpse at Western Xianity from an Africentric perspective, the Kemetic/Egyptian language and development of the calendar will be examined in relation to the formulation of Judaism and Xianity. This is as vital in reconstructing the history of Africa as the archaeological and the Classical Greco-Roman historical accounts. Indeed, Charles Finch and Ivan Sertima argue that in the reconstruction of the history of African peoples wherever they are in the world, one must utilise the multidisciplinary approach.

Literal interpretations of the scripture are all but useless; most if not all sacred writings of that time were written in such a way that only the initiated could understand what the texts really meant. Often the texts did not speak of a particular time but were cleverly constructed moral teachings handed down from generation to generation. In Africa, along the Nile Valley, teachings also corresponded to the zodiacal time period where celestial observers divided an imaginary heavenly circle into twelve arcs. Within each arc all teachings corresponded to a particular zootype. We shall first examine this form of time reckoning so that we can better understand why certain biblical texts were written they way they were. Also, understanding the concept of the Kemetic/Egyptian Great Year and the Precession of the Equinoxes is crucial to understanding the history of the world and how we, like our ancestors, can traverse backwards and forwards through time in order to access knowledge.

THE GREAT YEAR

There are very, very few historians today who would [openly] admit that highly intelligent human societies are older than 7000 years. But the African invention of the 365 Â¼ day calendar is one example that makes a mockery of the traditional views of Eurocentric academia. It comes as a surprise to many of us that our calendar, albeit with a few Roman alterations, is actually of Egyptian origin. Surprise, because unfortunately, the African contribution to such scientific achievements is still ignored and many textbooks still retain the misconception that the calendar was invented in Sumeria. Of course, Sumer is painted as a "Semitic"[read Caucasian] civilisation never mind that the Sumerians referred to themselves as "black heads". Never mind the fact that much of classical Africa's civilisations were already quite old before Sumeria or Europe had even entered into history. Also glossed over are the Classical Greek and Roman accounts that the Egyptians and Nubians had been charting the heavens from over 10,000 years. Dr Ben and Gerald Massey argued that in Egypt alone, African stargazers have been observing and recording movements in the heavens for at least 52,000 years. Evidence from the dating of erosion patterns of the Great Sphinx as well as the position of the pyramids in relation to the stars in Orion's belt, shows clearly that our accepted chronology of human history is totally inadequate. To begin to even appreciate the genius of our ancestors, we have no choice but honestly admit that what we think we know about the ancient world is actually very miniscule and much of that has been tainted by intellectual dishonesty, imperialistic designs, religious conservatism and outright racial bigotry.

Prof. Molefi Asante and Dr Finch maintain that unlike the Tigris-Euphrates region, the Nile Valley was ideally suited to the study of the celestial bodies. Egypt, a dry country, enjoyed clear nighttime skies for months on end, ideal for naked eye and telescopic observations of the stars and planets. Consequently, they were able to devise three calendars, stellar, lunar and solar. The lunar year of 354 days was well known to them and Dr Yosef ben-Jochannan, Sir James Frazer and Cheikh Anta Diop have shown that long before the dynastic period they had discovered the 360 day calendar which they retained even though they were well aware that this cycle lost a quarter of a day each year. Being practical people they used 360 days for the conventional year because it gave them convenient, whole number multiples by which the year could be sub-divided equally into twelve 30-day months, ten 36-day decans, 36 10-day weeks, etc. It is no coincidence that the 360-day solar year is the same number of degrees in a geometric circle. They knew that the earth was spherical and described an elliptical orbit around the sun. The Kemites later added five additional days which incidentally, are the roots of the Carnival traditions of the world.

The measurement of the 365-day solar year was close but not exact. It did, however, provide the impetus for two more precise measurements, the solar year and the sidereal or Sothic year. The Sothic year was obtained from a celestial occurrence known as the heliacal rising of the star Sirius [Greek Sothis, Kemetic Sepdet]. For most of the year at the latitude of Thebes in Upper Egypt [the southern half], Sirius is invisible in the southern heavens, but just before dawn at the summer solstice it suddenly appears. Within 20 days after its appearance the Nile floods its banks. This had a profound impact upon the minds of these early astronomers who likened this star to a sentry, a dog. They rounded off the length of the "tropical" year to 365Â¼ days, an almost exact mean between the solstitial and Sothic years.

What is significant about the Sothis calendar is its role in reconstructing Kemetic dynastic chronology because certain regnal years of several reigns through the course of Kemetic history were recorded by reference to this reign. It is known that the Kemetic New Year and the heliacal rising of Sirius coincided in 139 BCE, 1321BCE, 2781BCE, and 4241BCE which is when it was officially adopted. This was the exact same time that the Kemites began their Pharaonic dynasties in Kemet. By contrast, the much-touted Sumerian civilisation had not yet entered into history.

Space doesn't allow us to explore in detail this amazing phenomenon. However, with regard to Judaism and Christianity, the Egyptian Great Year is very significant. For Sirius to complete its elliptical orbit took roughly 26,000 years [the Great Year or Precession of the Equinoxes]. It cannot be exact because the earth's axis is tilted by 23Â½ degrees, which gives us two north poles, True North and Magnetic North. Because of the axial tilt the magnetic north pole wobbles like a top around True North as the earth makes its journey around the sun. This means the position of the equinoxes moves slightly every year against the background of stars located in the band of sky defined on earth by the Tropic of Cancer at 23Â½ degrees north of the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23 Â½ south of the equator. This causes the equinoxes to slip backward twenty minutes each year in a circular fashion.

The Kemites divided this 26,000 Great Year into twelve arcs of about 2160 years, each with its own star constellation that became its Sign. Since most of these signs were given animal forms, the later Greeks called this celestial band Zodiac from the term "zoion" [animal]. These signs were [tracing backwards from the opening of the Egyptian year], the Lion (Atum), the Scarab (Khepera), Twins (Set and Heru), the Bull (Ptah/Yusir), the Ram (Amen), the Fishes (In-tiu), the Water-Bringer (Menat the nurse and Hapi the Nile), the Goat (Mendes), the Archer (Set or Shu), the Scorpion (Serqet), the Scales (Ma'at/ Mwoere) and the Virgin Mother (Neith or Auset/Isis). As the spring equinox passed through a zodiacal sign, an age was inaugurated that was seen to symbolically, mythically and physically dominate earthly life during the 2160 years. The Kemites Pharaonic dynasties began in the Age of the Bull [circa 4241/4245 BCE], making Bull symbols and deities, Ptah and Yusir the dominant symbols of that age. When the spring equinox moved into the preceding age, that of the Ram [c 2200 BCE], Ram deity Amen and his city Waset [Thebes] dominated Kemetic cultural life. This was the age when the Hebrew appeared in history and, as the Old Testament shows, ram and lamb and shepherd imagery permeated their symbolic life. When the spring equinox moved into the Piscean Age [Fishes] - c. 68 BCE, the people of the lower Nile observed fish symbolism and it was within two centuries that Christianity, complete with fish symbols [note that the disciples were said to be fishermen] began its run.

Now, let us look at how this and another interesting phenomenon shaped what eventually became Judaism and Christianity.

THE OLD TESTAMENT

Most of us have been indoctrinated in the belief that Christianity and for that matter Judaism dropped onto mankind in the midst of an extremely sinful world. The historical reality is much more complicated than that. What we believe to be some new revolutionary dispensation beginning with Adam and crystallising with Jesus actually goes back to the dim mists of antiquity. Now, ancient Hebrew sacred writings were not meant to be interpreted literally; much of what comprises the Torah and the Old Testament were myths, allegorical proverbs and poems. Many of the names found in the OT were not referring to historical individuals but actually referred to whole tribes and communities. Indeed, most of the OT writings were simply poetic tales meant to convey the values of patriarchal Hebrew society. If we compare these myths with their Kemetic/Egyptian sources we can begin to explore the deeper meanings. Cheikh Anta Diop and Gerald Massey made this easier by comparing linguistic patterns; in a private conversation with Charles Finch, Diop showed how the Jewish scriptures borrowed extensively from its Egyptian parent. The deep symbolism and "typology" of the ancient Nile Valley sacred science provides us with the means to the complex process of understanding what the writers of the sacred Jewish and Christian texts may have wanted to convey to their devotees. It is not as simplistic as the priests and pastors make it out to be.

The Adam and Eve story for instance, is a prime example of age-old "typology" corrupted into an historical event. The first human is said to be Adam with his first consort being Eve [though in later Jewish literature he had a first wife named Lilith]. Now in many Jewish texts the names Adam and Eve are written using lowercase letters because these were not actual historical people. This Jewish myth - or rather this Jewish version of the myth - was simply their way of explaining the origins of man as well as explaining their cultural practices [such as the way women are to be regarded in that particular society]. We will attempt to look behind the literal images of such figures as Adam by applying Massey's method of linking biblical names with their Kemetic roots. Adam is said to be the first man in the image of God, the father of mankind, the completion of creation. He is also the Kemetic ATM/ATUM, defined conversely as the first god in the image of Man and mankind's father.

The root of ATM is TM [TEM/TUM], which has several meanings, i.e. "mankind", "people", "completion". ATUM is the complete Divine Man. A cognate root of TEM is DEM, which means, "to name", as the biblical Adam was the namer of animals. Note also with reference to the Great Year that Genesis represents not only the creation of the cosmos but also the beginning of a new cosmic time-cycle. The Great year begins in the Age of Leo [circa 10,000 BCE]; ATUM is the lion-faced one, who creates Shu and Tefnut, also represented in lion forms. Another parallel we should take note of is that in Hebrew adam is "adu-mah" (clay like/ made of clay); the Kemetic deity Khnum - who is shown as a Ram - is depicted sitting at a potters wheel fashioning the gods out of clay. Then we have Adam's consort Eve [Heb. CHAVVAH/HAVVAH] seduced by the serpent in the Tree of Life. The Kemetic Great Mother Serpent is HEFA; the name also means "fruit" - as in the fruit of Life. Our biblical Genesis is taken from the funerary rituals of Kemet. The parallels do not end there; the Garden of Eden [Heb. ADN], the mythical land where they are created is also represented as the great enclosure in religious motifs while in Kemetic, DEN means "enclosure". When Adam and Eve are cast out of Eden and settle in the land of Nod. Nod is NUD in Kemet ["outside of/away from"].

Their first two children, Cain and Abel, are the warring twins so prominent in the Kemetic Mysteries [Yusir/Set]. But more than that Cain/QAYIN [Heb], who strikes down and kills Abel, is identified with the Kemetic Set and the word QEN which means, "to strike down". Abel/HABL [Heb] is rendered in Egyptian as HAB-IR - "feast" or "rite"; we can see the parallel to Abel who offers a lamb to god in a ceremonial ritual. Note also that the Hebrew beliefs come at the time when the Kemetic Great Year's Age of the Ram which begins circa 2218 BCE.

THE GREAT FLOOD

Noah's Flood is also rich with parallels; the biblical Noah [Heb. NUACH] is the one who survives the Flood, who cultivates wine and becomes drunk. This identifies him with Yusir, sometimes depicted with a bunch of grapes and, as an agricultural deity is coloured green. Further, the Kemetic NU-AKH is the Nile flood that irrigates and cultivates fields. The ark, in one sense, the boats on the Nile, but in its celestial sense, is the barque of the moon that sails across the heavenly "flood" of the night sky. In its solar mythos, it is the solar boat on its daily course. NUH means "drunkenness" - Yusir was the spirit who possessed the grapes that became wine. Wine drinking was reserved for the Kemetic priests who, in their intoxicated state, would "commune" with the ntr [to this day alcohol is still referred to as "spirits"]. Noah's son Ham is Cham in Hebrew [pronounced HCHAM]; this is the individual who has caused so many generations of blacks to suffer some the most unspeakable horrors because it was said that the curse put on him by Noah was the curse of blackness. Well this black Hebrew Cham is Kam or Kem, the name the ancient Egyptians called themselves and this means "black", thus KMT/Kemet is the "land of the blacks". Noah's other sons Shem and Yaphet also have Kemetic roots. Shem [Heb. SEM] is the mythical and eponymous ancestor of the Semites [this linguistic term has mischievously become an ethnic term to describe the white Jews]

ABRAHAM

This, the supposed patriarch of the Hebrews, though he may or may not have been an actual historical figure can be linked to a Kemetic prototype like the other mythical characters. His story begins when he as Abram enters the Nile Valley around 2000-1900 BCE. Abraham is said to be the founder of the Semitic people - again, I must caution the reader that "Semitic" is a linguistic term and NOT ethnic as it is being used by Eurocentric media, scholarship, etc. Semitic is used as a euphemism for "Caucasian" regardless of the fact that Chaldea, the region where this Abram came from was populated by numerous ethnic and linguistic tribes. Another skimmed over point is that Hagar who bears Abraham's first son, is an Egyptian woman and her skin would therefore have more than a little "food colouring"

Nevertheless, according to the story, Abraham's first son is Ishmael, albeit by Hagar. Sarai, Abram's wife [and half-sister, thereby betraying yet another parallel with Egypt], becomes jealous of Hagar's ability to conceive and forces her to run away while pregnant with Ishmael into the desert. There, she is confronted by an angel who says: " you are with child and will bear a son. You shall name him Ishmael, because the Lord has heard of your affliction". The Arabs claim him as their progenitor. However, decoding his name with a Kemetic cipher is very revealing: Ishmael is YSMAAL in Hebrew which in Kemetic can be rendered YS-MAIR. YS means "place" and MAIR is "affliction". It doesn't end there because Hagar, in this same encounter, is told that Ishmael will become a "wild a$$ of a man" evoking the pre-Mosaic veneration of the Golden a$$ Yiu, a type of Ra and Set.

Abraham himself is not without an Egyptian root given that the name, in Kemetic, means "the servant of Ra's will". AB [desire or will], Ra [the power of the Divine that causes the sun to shine], IM [fire/light], Hem [servant].

This connection with Ra is strengthened further with the name Isaac, which in Hebrew is YSAK. Isaac, according to the story, was to be burnt as an offering to God. The Kemetic YS [place], AKH [burnt offring] are the keys here. Also God stays the hand of Abraham at the last moment and provides a lamb; this indicates that the zodiacal calendar was in the Age of the Ram.

Other parallels are Ishmael and Isaac, the warring twins that feature prominently in Egyptian spiritual thought; Isaac's marriage to Rebecca - the brother-sister/cousin pairing of Yusir and Auset/Isis and then there is Jacob, both as "Jacob" [Kem. YA-QEB - the heavenly circuit of Ra]. Jacob changes his name to Israel: Kem YS-RA-IR - Ys (place), Ra (sun), IR (create), i.e. the place Ra created i.e. a place in Amenta, where souls, having been justified by Yusir, climb a ladder to Ra's boat. This is the source of the biblical Jacob's Ladder.

Then we come to Joseph. Now needless to say the biblical story is historicised mythology, copied from two ancient Kemetic legends. However, the picture becomes clearer when decoded; Joseph is YUSUPH in Hebrew, Jacob/Israel's favourite son. In Egyptian this name can be taken in three forms: YU-SEFI, YIU-SEFI, YU-SEP. YU means "to come", SEFI - "child/son", thus YU-SEFI is "the ever coming son", Heru/Horus the Christ [Karast], Horus who dawns every day as the morning Sun [of God]. YU is also YIU, the Golden a$$ - whose visible emblem is the sun. Joseph [YIU-SIF] then, is the Son of YIU. Further, SEP is a name of Yusir so that YU-SEP is "Yusir/Osiris, the Coming One", who in this guise is really Heru/Horus.

All this points to the claim by Dr. Ben, Finch, Massey and Petrie that the pre-exodus Hebrews were largely Kemitic-Canaanite Set-worshippers. Set is the reverse of the life-giving Ra, the solar fire. Set is also the Golden a$$ depicted as bearing the solar disk between his ears. This form of veneration fell out of favour when the Hyksos, the shepherd-kings who invaded and occupied Lower Egypt circa 1675 BCE, were finally expelled about 200 years later. Space does not permit the detailed exploration of all the coded names and locations found in the OT and there are many:- David, Solomon, Joshua, Miriam. However, the figure of Moses must be highlighted since this was a pivotal point in OT and Xian history.

MOSES

The historical Moses in all probability may have been a dissident Kemetic priest named Osarsiph. The name Moses [which was never Hebrew in the first place] in Hebrew is MUSHEH/MOSHE. The biblical Moshe 1) as an infant is concealed in the river among the reeds in an ark of bulrushes to escape the massacre of male children by "Pharaoh" 2) he is found in the "sea of reeds" by the Pharaoh's daughter 3) he becomes a type of Hebrew saviour. This model would be later modified and applied to the Christ figure. For the time being we will lift part of the veil of Moses to show the deeper aspects overlooked by the religious "literalists".

Moses/Moshe was concealed and taken out of the river after the Pharaonic massacre of Hebrew children. The event itself was largely fiction, but analyses of the names show us the same links to ancient Kemetic theosophical thoughts. In Egyptian his name has two forms: MU-SHA and/or MU-SAH. MU - "sea" or "pool" and SHA - "reeds" so that our biblical Moses is literally the Sea of Reeds, a papyrus swamp, but allegorically a type of Heru/Horus who in his infancy was hidden in a papyrus swamp to conceal him from his enemies. Heru is a Kemetic saviour and so is Moses. SAH means, "to draw from" and, according to the bible, "Pharaoh's" daughter took Moses from the Nile and adopted him [a romanticised fiction since Egypt, like many other African cultures traced lineage through the woman. There was no way that the very powerful priesthood, particularly during that 18th Dynasty would have allowed the Pharaoh's daughter to adopt a foreigner and a commoner at that!].

Moses' brother is Aaron [Heb AHRN], high priest and fashioner of the Golden Calf when Moses was on the mountaintop. Note the allusion here to the ancient mountain-worship still observed by some African communities [though this was also found in the Babylonian concepts of Marduk]. In Egyptian AH means "bull" and REN means "child" or "calf", therefore, Aaron himself is the Golden Calf, the youthful Celestial Bull from the zodiacal Taurean Age whose mother was the cow-eared Great Mother Hathor [still revered by Hindus]. Because of the equinoctial Precession, by the time of the Exodus the transition from the Age of the Bull to the Age of the Lamb had occurred but remnants of the ancien regime still lingered. Scholars argue that Moses' anger was directed not to the image of the Calf but toward the teaching ascribed to this avatar whose time had passed.

Mount Sinai is where Moses allegedly got the famous 10 Commandments, although six of these were actually lifted out of the Kemetic Admonitions of Ma'at/Mwoera. Remember, the historical Moses was an actual Kemetic priest and so would have known these Declarations without having to go up on some mountain. Now while the actual location of this mountain is unknown the story of the Lord appearing wrapped in fire on the summit while Moses was receiving the Laws is rich with meaning. Sinai in Hebrew is SYNY and in the Hebrew's parent language, Egyptian, SY means, "stone" while NY means, "fire". It is here that the Hebrews first learn of their god's name, Yahweh. Now Yahweh [YHVH] comes from the Kemetic YAH-WAH, YAH - " the Moon deity as Thoth, Khonsu or Yusir and YAH - "to increase" or "to grow". Jehovah is therefore the Increasing Moon, the youthful male Moon growing into the New Moon.

While lunar veneration was much older than that of the solar it still lingers in contemporary Africa and Asia in the form of traditional new moon festival and the Muslim calendar. This lunar worship was very strong in Canaan and under Moses, the lunar Yusir, YAH was installed as the worship of Yahweh. New worship, old god [and goddess since the moon was originally identified with the female].

Finally the name "Jew" itself is a coded reference to the lunar worship of the Hebrew's "pagan" past; "Jew" is YAHUDY in Hebrew, which is almost identical to YAHUDY, a Kemetic title for Thoth, and the principal lunar deity. Also pertinent is the fact that throughout the Old and New Testament there is a constant appearance of certain numbers that are sacred numbers in African sacred sciences - i.e. 13, 7, 40, etc. In fact, the New Testament is loaded with occult references to ancient Nile Valley mythologies and Wisdom Teachings so much so that it is almost impossible to extract actual events from the myth. Be that as it may, by applying the "Massey-Diop method" to the gospels, we can make sense of the texts we grew up hearing.

THE GREAT YEAR AND THE CHRISTIAN MYTH

It is not unusual that in the formation of a new religious system the creators attack and demonise the faiths that came before it even if these faiths was directly responsible for its very existence. Often the new faith is presented in such a way as to appear that it was created in isolation and/or represents the highest dispensation born in the midst of a world steeped in iniquity. The old faith is painted with a brush of evil and godlessness. Judaism, progeny of Kemet/Egypt and Babylon, branded its parents as demonic and oppressive. Christianity likewise, drew from ancestral Judaism and Kemet only what it wanted, rejected the rest and then burned its ancestral bridges. Its attempts were not thorough however; the "pagan" traces of Kemetic Wisdom Teachings and funerary rituals, the legacy of Bel and Mithra, Yusir and Auset, Zoroaster and Plato can be uncovered with the right keys. We will look at Xianity employing the methods Massey and Diop used to link Judaism to the stellar and lunar traditions of the ancient Nile Valley.

Charles Finch and John Jackson inform us that Gerald Massey traced Xianity's origins back some 10,000 years into inner Africa. It is not hard to see how Kemetic sacred science diffused to the emerging faith; the early Church found in Egypt a safe haven after being persecuted elsewhere in the Mediterranean [largely because of their own disruptive and subversive actions and not because of their beliefs as they like to tell us]. The early desert fathers like Anthony the Hermit and countless others, were the first to mould Xianity into shape. The Church's earliest saints, bishops and martyrs were African. The capital of Christendom up until the time of Constantine was Alexandria and the first two Xian churches were established on the island of Phillae on the Nile. Further, Egyptians and Ethiopians were the first people to convert to Xianity because they saw in it no difference to what they were worshipping all along.

As previously mentioned, the "New" Testament is filled with hidden references. The Kemetic Yusirian myth forms a bridge between Christianity and ancient Africa. Since the Yusirian Drama is well known and well documented, we will not go into detail but will only touch on the more outstanding points.

Yusir, as the principle of vegetation, is often depicted as a green-coloured deity. He sacrifices himself as the harvested grain, from which bread is made to be eaten as "real food" for regeneration. His "rebirth" occurs in new sprouts of the succeeding spring [in certain traditions Yusir "dies" from a scorpion sting, a reference to the harvest that occurs in the sign of Scorpio]. This sacrifice harks back to an earlier time when the Great Mother sacrificed herself [i.e. for the sins of the world] so that the community might live.

Yusir, the Great Ancestor, was identified with the grape, wine, the blood and spirit is also his blood and spirit. A Kemetic priestly ritual was to drink wine symbolising the blood of Yusir. Here we see the genesis of the Sader, the ritual mentioned in the Bible where Jesus shares bread and wine with his disciples and the origin of the Communion in Roman Xianity.

Yusir is the son and yet the consort of his mother Auset in much the same way that Jesus was the son yet consort of his mother Mary [the name "Mary" was also a title of Auset/Isis]. This also was the source of the son-mother and husband-wife/sister references we find in the Old Testament. Further, in the Drama Yusir was born in a cave to a Virgin mother; in the Book of Protevangelion, one of the gospels that was later suppressed by the Church, the same situation occurs with Jesus' mother Mary. Now Auset's name in Egyptian means "seat", "chapel", "womb" or "tomb" i.e. "cave". In most ancient African spiritual systems, the name "Mary/Maya, etc" means "the sea"; water was revered as an aspect of the Great Mother Goddess, a reference to the amniotic fluid that protects the child in the mother's womb. Thus "Mary" was more a symbolic title than a name. The symbolism becomes more apparent when one looks at the myth from its celestial origin. In late antiquity the sun reached its lowest point, the winter solstice, about Dec 22nd where it remained stationary in this position for about three days and then just after midnight on Dec 25th, the sun began its ascent on the ecliptic, reaching its zenith at the summer solstice on June 22nd. The beginning of its ascent on Dec 25th was, metaphorically its "birth" and since this ascent began in the deepest hour of darkness on the morning of Dec 25th, the sun was said to be born in a "cave".

In the pre-Xian era, the constellation Virgo, the Virgin, was position due east on the horizon as the sun started its ascent on Dec 25th. In other words the sun [of god] was "born of a Virgin in a cave" on Dec 25th. At the same time high in the western sky stood the constellation of Taurus and close to this sign lay another cluster called the Stable [Aurega]. The Three Wise men and the Star in the East is no less astronomical; in the book Pagan and Christian Creeds Edward Carpenter argues that this star was none other than Sirius, the Barker. According to him as the star stood on the southern meridian [directly overhead in that region] , to the right of it would lie in a line pointing at it, the three stars in the Orion's Belt. These stars were called the Three Kings. Prior to the Xian era the Kemetic New Year began at the summer solstice, coinciding with the flooding of the Nile and Sirius' heliacal rising. Sirius was then the herald of the new year and since Yusir was often identified with the Nile's fertilising efflux, Sirius was also Yusir's herald. The reader may also bear in mind that the entire Nativity scene is depicted upon the walls of the Temple of Amen at Luxor, first built around 1700 BCE, commemorating the birth of Heru - Yusir the Younger - in four vignettes. Thus the Nativity is as much a rebirth as it is a new birth.

These astronomical myths are our key to revealing the solar character of Jesus. After its Dec 25th "nativity", the sun's ascent on the ecliptic for the next three months represents its "infancy" and "childhood". The progressive lengthening of the day reveals the sun's "growth". At the spring equinox, the sun reaches the halfway point on the ecliptic, intersecting the celestial equator [the terrestrial equator projected into space] where day and night are perfectly equal. That the equinox had a profound impact upon the imagination of the ancients is shown by the fact that the Hebrews and Romans began their New Year at the vernal equinox. Jewish Pasach [Passover], and its derivative, Xian Easter, are both equinoctial celebrations as the sun "passes over" the celestial equator, forming a cross in the process. Thus the "sun" of God is said to be "crossified" [crucified], and since the sun remains in this position for three days, it was said to be crucified for three days [thus it "died" for three days]. Further, the celestial equator forms a broad arc through space that can be figuratively imaged as a "mount" or a "skull". Here is our biblical Mount Calvary.

The rising of Jesus from the dead can then be properly understood as the symbolic rising of the sun from the "dead", but this Son of God was originally Heru/Horus, Yusir the younger, resurrecting from his death at the hands of his evil brother Set. Set is the prototype of the Xian "Satan". Indeed, "Satan" is derived from SET-AN, AN being a mark of emphasis and also means " to come again", "to return"so that the Xian SAT-AN is "the greater manifestation of Set". Satan is popularly depicted as a red figure with the hooves, tail and horns of a goat. Set's colour, as the merciless sun, was red; the Greek god Pan was part goat and is represented as leading Zeus to the mountain top in much the same way that Jesus was led to the mountaintop by Satan. Satan was often depicted as a serpent, which was one of Set's zootypical images.

Jesus was called the Christ, from the Greek Christus. This Christus comes from the Kemetic KRST [Karast], the Anointed One, the titles of Yusir, Tehuti/Thoth, and Heru. The Jewish equivalent is Messiah from the Kemetic "MESSU" on the one hand and MES-IAH on the other. MES means "to give birth", "son". Horus had a title called "MES", making him "Horus the Son". MES-IAH then is "the son of YAH".

The dead Jesus was wrapped in bandages and laid in the tomb in much the same way that Yusir was anointed and mummified. Since wrapping corpses was practised among the Hebrews, we can see that they adopted this practise from their Kemetic sources. The story of Lazarus further betrays age-old sacred symbolism; Lazarus, the deceased brother of two mourning sisters is clearly identifiable with Yusir and his two sisters Auset and Neith who wail over his dead body. Jesus resurrects Lazarus who rises swathed in his linen bandages the same way the Yusir was resurrected by his son Heru. The etymology of Lazarus is no less revealing; Lazarus, broken up into L-AZAR-US, shows us the Semitic article for L is "al"[the], AZAR is AUSAR or YUSIR and the US may be IS or AS, "to call/summon" in the same way that Jesus called forth Lazarus from the tomb. Thus Lazarus is "the Yusir called"

There are many more parallels we can cite but the parallels are clear. The Drama of Yusir and his consort exerted profound influence upon the religions of Judauism, Christianity and, much later,I slam. This influence was also expressed in the art of the early Church; early icons of Jesus depicted a black, woolly-haired figure, often seated on the lap of his mother Mary. Some of these icons and statues were simply refashioned Kemetic deities of Auset/Isis that was carried to Europe by African sailors and Roman legions. Before the reader assumes that the story is wholly fictional, it should be noted that the biblical narratives, while largely allegorical, are woven loosely around historical events. Nonetheless, the core of the myth is still found in the heavens right above our heads and in the earth at our feet and around us. I implore the reader to explore the story further thereby unlocking the secrets that may guide us closer to the Divine Truth.

blkscholar Ain't if funny how people TODAY seem to know more about the origins of religion than even those of the PAST who were actually there during its founding?

blkidea

This reminds me of modern Western science and the theory of evolution........

Where modern scientist seem to have more theories of how old the earth is....how old humanity is...and what we "evolved" from....than our ancestors thousands of years ago who were obviously CLOSER to the beginning yet never dared utter such foolish claims.
