Hellenist in a Handbaset 2 Weavers of the Basket
Today we'll continue with the info presented by Mythvison and get further into the fabricated history created in the Hellenistic era that was backdated to claim deeper roots. I brought this out in my book, Priestcraft: Beyond Babylon and if you don't have it yet, below are links to it.

Step into the world of power, loyalty, and luck. I'm gonna make him an orphan, he can't refuse. With family, canollies, and spins mean everything. Now, you wanna get mixed up in the family business. Introducing, The Godfather, at ChampaCocino.com. Test your luck in the shadowy world of The Godfather Slodge. Someday, I will call upon you to do a service for me. Play The Godfather, now at ChampaCocino.com. Welcome to The Family. - No purchase necessary, VGW Group. We're prohibited by law, 18 plus, terms, and conditions apply. - Good morning, everybody. We will be continuing a dentist in a hand basket today. I'm gonna start with some Gnostic informant, not a really good name for a channel. A channel, but he understands that Gnostic is a, what do you call it, a derogatory term. I think you may have figured that out after he'd already named his channel, but at least he's under the awareness thereof. So we're going to play a little bit of that. It's gonna be a little bit of ammin, but it's gonna talk about the sibling cult. And then we'll get back into on this in a hand basket, a video that I had clipped out from MythVision. There's actually two, there's one about Abraham and one about Moses. We were still working on the one about Moses. I had a bunch of files get corrupted because apparently I needed room on my hard drive. So I'm actually at the moment creating a new video and there's about 38 minutes left. So providing it doesn't screw up in the process of rendering that video. I had to do it again this morning, I think it got up really. So once DaVinci Resolve is done with that, I'll have to find the place marker where we had left off and then we can continue on with that. For now, let me get, all right, now we're on Breideon too. And Breideon, for those of you out there on Breideon, the live streams haven't been saving after the fact. So I, for the last week, probably haven't been putting anything up on Breideon just because I didn't see the point since it doesn't stay there afterward. But today I said, what the heck? So if you want to find out what you're missing, just go to the Rumble channel, my Twitter, or find it on the podcasts or even on my Patreon, all right? So let's just get this started off and we will jump into some Gnostic informant. I might skip around a little bit because that one isn't something that I clipped out and just to get the important stuff. I don't have time to do all that stuff. And by the way, I am looking for an assistant. I gotta find out whether or not I have to upgrade StreamYard, good morning, Polka. If I have to upgrade StreamYard in order to make that work, I might not do it. But if I can get somebody in there with admin privileges that can pull up things when I want them to pull it up, they would probably have to have my video files too on their computer in order to do that. I'm not 100% sure how that works and I don't know how I would transfer those types of files. There's a lot of technical stuff that I need to figure out before going forward with that. But if somebody wanted to be like a VJ, video jockey, pulling up stuff during these streams, they would make it so that I could focus more on the presentation unless I'm the dicking around back and forth with StreamYard. All the cool people have one (laughs) have an assistant. All right, let's see.

I don't know if you catch that for those of you watching, but they had a guitar in a rocking chair for Roy. Roy had already died at that time. So there's a little picture of him and the chair's rocking with his guitar in it. It's pretty cool. All right. So we have Christians and syllabus, Emmon Hillman. This is a, let me make sure I grab it. Yeah, so contact me if you want, if you're interested in an unpaid, you have a highly appreciated position. (laughs) If you wanna help, when you have the ability to come on and at the same time, I'm on. And let's see if we can make it so that we can pull up stuff. If I have to send it all, I don't know how this is gonna work, but we'll just see if I can get someone else to do the tech in the background so I can just talk instead of fumbling around with all this stuff. I don't know if it's even gonna work that way. We'll see. (mouse clicking) All right. So do I like Neil? This guy, my dad's name is Neil, but it's spelled differently. Now, second format here takes me a lot. There's some things he doesn't quite understand about the world that are quite infuriating, like when he was talking about how noble and wonderful the Ukraine is against the ultimate evil. That was absolute retardation on his part. So yeah, there's things about Neil. I don't appreciate at all. And whenever he tries to talk about world politics and stuff like that, he sounds like a complete moron. So there's that. I don't know if Neil is just a really ambitious, really excitable, like, I don't know. Like he knows some stuff, but I don't think his grasp on the world is really quite there yet. So that being said, when I talk about the stuff that he can read and memorize, then he's doing all right. So let's go ahead and look at this real quick. And we're waiting, let's see how much more time. We have 31 minutes left on the rendering of that video. It corrupted. So I had to start it a little bit now. And after that, we'll have to find our place where we left off so I can continue on with that. But in the meantime, we've got this. The sibling oracles are basically what we're talking about. This is gonna get really interesting for a lot of people because you're gonna see how it was all, what they now could consider pagan. It was all part of the early Christian and early Judean things. They just try to pretend that they were different. And that's where the money is right there is to see that and realize it. - Hey, thanks for that great introduction, Neil. It is fantastic to be here. And for those of you who are sitting in the audience, I was able to hear an outline of Neil's presentation here. It's good stuff, man. This is graduate level work. So you should be proud of your work, bro. Nice job. - I appreciate that, yeah. You know, one other thing I would like to say, speaking of graduate level work, you should totally check out Prescrap Beyond Babylon. Highly recommend it. Looks like we have a connection error. Uh-oh, we're losing, we're losing here. Barely a signal. Wonder why that is. I'm just gonna give it a second because it's gonna be really grainy if I, okay, it looks like it's already down. Back to it. Prescrap Beyond Babylon. You can find the links in the description. Check it out. You want to. A lot of what he talks about in one of these books called the, oh, what's it called? It doesn't matter. One of his videos, he goes through all the gods and goddesses of the Babylonian and Sumerian cults. That's all covered in Prescrap Beyond Babylon. And yeah, there you go. Yeah, so without further ado, we're gonna get into what are these sibilene books? Because you might know Christians, a lot of Christians, especially Orthodox Christians, they know that the Christian sibilene oracles, they know what these are. They consult them. They talk about Gog and McGog and Armageddon. And those are the prophecies from their Christian sibilist. And they still consult them today and read them and talk about how Muhammad was the Baphomet. And these are all Christian ideas that are still floating around there. But how many of them know that before Christianity was even on the right, anyone's radar, sibilene books were consulted by Roman religion, called this as well. And they came out of that tradition. There were sibils all over the empire. But you have these sibilene books that were guarded by the vessel virgins. And they would be, they would use them. And it was sort of propaganda, prophecy, all types of different, they would consult these books. And for example, in two, two or four BCE, I could be off that a couple of years, two or what was that, around 200 BCE, the Romans were at war against the Macedonians and the Carthaginians as well, they were at war on different fronts. And one of their prophecies was to go and get magnumatur from Phrygia. This is a famous God that people would travel from all over the world to go and... - The great mother, magnumatur, Nicodemus, and I talk about this a lot and how she's been associated with Eris, E-R-I-S, not Eris, like the Eris of a, but that is funny that it's phonetically the same, right? Eris and the children of discord, the 14 children of discord, 14 that number again. And also how they equate her to... Some equate her to Eshira or Anana and also to Lilith, which that's where it gets a little murky and that's what I'm a little curious about now, is if there is an actual defining line there that separates them or if there's something that is legitimate about that assumption that they're talking about the same deity. Oh, I didn't play. Like, to go and visit and give offerings to. The Romans said we need to have that in Rome. The Sibilian books is what told them to go do that, according to Livy, according to others. And this was a common thing that they would consult these books, the books would tell them, go import a to God from a different land, bring it to Rome. And so that's what I wanna really show the progression over time from the Sibil. Any thoughts on that so far? - I think you're dealing with Egeria right off the bat. So people should know that back in Roman history, when there were still kings and Rome was just a city with huts. At this time, there was a sibil called Egeria. Yeah, and she transmitted to Numa, to Numa, who was a sébine, right? She transmitted to him what would become the religion of Rome, right? And supposedly, an outline of what was going to happen throughout their history, who they would fight, when they would fight them, very specific stuff. And she was a nymph, they called her a nymph. - So right off the bat, it makes me wonder, when you're given too much detail. - You slept through your alarm, missed the train, and your record sandwich, cold. Sounds like you could use some luck. - I'm Victoria Cash, and Luckyland is where people go every day to get lucky.

Do you manifest it, even if it's against your will, and you're trying to avoid it, like a fable of Shakespeare, where you know your fate, you've consulted the Oracle, you try your very best to take precautions to avoid that fate, and yet those precautions that you take actually end up causing it, right? Like that became your history because of your actions, not because the Oracle was able to say anything to make you able to change it. You know, like with the Oedipus is a good example. - And what the hell is that? - And that's where I'm coming in today is we're gonna talk about that nymph, and who that nymph is, and you're gonna be surprised. But yeah, Neil, I think you're on a, ooh, I love it, love the Roman flavor, keep going, bro. - So, you know, the Stibilene books from, I'm using it as a source, two different sources. James Charlesworth has a pseudo-pigrapha Old Testament text, and included in here is all the Sibilene texts that they found from the Jewish sources, Jewish and Christian sources. And so, and I also have the Christian, the straight up Christian Sibilene texts that are from the 6th and 5th, 4th, 5th, and 6th centuries, after the Christian basically take over the Sibil. But the oldest, the second, going back to the second century BCE, before, like when it's just-- - You can just say BC, there's no reason to say common era. - Pagan and Jewish people using the Sibil text and consulting them, you have this prophecy of, you know, war and Rome, like you were mentioning. And like, let me just read that a little bit here. Oracle against Rome, you would be among evil mortals, suffering evils, but you will remain utterly desolate for all ages yet. It will exist, but it will remain utterly desolate forever, despising your soil because you just, because you desired sorcery. With you are found adulteries and illicit intercourse with boys, effeminate and unjust evil city, ill-fated above all, a last city of the Latin land, unclean in all things, may not rejoicing in vipers. As a widow, you will sit by the banks and the retiree will weep for you, it's consort. You have a murderous heart and in pious spirit. Did you not know what God can do, what he devises? What you said, I am alone and no one will ravage me, but now God who is forever will destroy you and all your people and there will no longer be any sign of you in that land. As there was formerly when the great God found your honors, remain alone, lawless one, mingled with burning fire, inhabit the lawless and other region of Hades. A lot of the language that's being thrown around there, like here's the oracle against Rome, you will be among mortals, like cosmic destruction. But you also have in these texts a lot of what you would call pagan terminology, the name is by the earth shaker. Anyone who hears that term earth shaker, that's Poseidon. There's only one person who has that title, earth shaker Poseidon. And then it even says in the top from the earth, three and symbol, there will be almost also but be immediately assigned for the fertile Frigia when the abominable race of Raya, there's no, they're not like keeping the, keep these gods out of the tax. No, they're not real gods. No, no, they're like, no, that's, these are the race, this is the race of Raya. This is the people who worship cuy will eat from Frigia. And they're acknowledging that in these texts. I think it's fantastic. - It's hard to tell the difference, Neil. It's hard to tell the difference between that Raya as a Christian goddess and as a pagan goddess. Those terms run together, linguistically they run together. This is brilliant brother, keep going, keep going. I'm sorry to interrupt. - No, you're fine, that was a good point. And there's a lot of texts, there's a lot of talk about ages. A new age coming, even Suetonius. I'm sorry, Plutarch, in his life of solo, was talking about how learned to Treskins declared that a port and signified the advent of a new age in a new cosmic order. They said that there are eight ages altogether, each with different customs and ways of life and that the God has assigned each of these ages a defendant number of years, which is accomplished by the revolution of the great year. Whenever one great year ends and other begins, they set a remarkable port and appears either on Earth or in the sky to make it clear to those who have studied and looked into such matters that men have a different kind and modes of different life. So this is a thing, like this is a understood thing, universal throughout all these religions that there's just ages, different ages coming up. And the sibling books really go through these ages and they go through the times of Caesar. They go through the times of, there's even, they even have Romulus and Remus in here. Let me pull that up real quick. The one that has Romulus and Remus. - Don't forget, the symbol is the daughter of Noah, right? - Yeah, explain that real quick. 'Cause this is huge, 'cause they're, okay, yeah, go ahead, explain that real quick. - Yeah, she is the one who threw the line of Dukalian, preserves that righteousness, that place, that voice. And so she presents herself in the oracles, especially the sibling oracles, the early ones, three and five, in my opinion, are the most classical. Neil's talking about a transition from purely classical to this kind of Judeo-Christian approach. And those early ones, three and five, those are to me are the strongest. And they will still contain references that are crossed used by the Christians. Remember people, the Christians were first called by the pagans who thought they were Otheo. They said they were Subolistes. They were Sybilis. - Right. - They were Sybilis, yeah. - And that's the thing is, when Julian the Apostate was the emperor, they didn't, that's what Julian apostate calls them. He just calls them Sybilis, Kelsus too. Kelsus is saying, yeah, their religion is basically the Sybil, they're Sybilis, he kinda calls them a degradation of it though. Kelsus is like, they're decorating the secret rights of the Sybil. And he makes it clear that it's not the Sybil, it's a degradation of the Sybil, which I happen to agree with. - They're oracle mongers, they're oracle mongers. Now they're trying to use the oracles for their own benefit, he says. Yeah, and here, you know almost like there's a pure art and there's a tainted form of it. And the Christianity was tainting that pure art. And the minds of the people who lived the pagan life. - Now this is interesting because one of the earlier versions, right, one of the earliest versions of it, we have this outline where it's going through all the different ages, talks about how Cyrus will rise up, talks about how, and I can, you can, okay, if you wanna, I'm not gonna go, I'm not gonna be able to show all of them 'cause it's gonna take hours. You can find it all in here. James Charles, this is literally a screenshot of this book. But it starts off with Cyrus, Cyrus. Oh no, I'm sorry, it goes back even farther than that. I'm dumb, talks about how the Tower of Babel will be built. And then it'll be, everyone will be spread out across the earth. It talks about Egypt, the kingdom of Egypt will rise and be a great kingdom. The kingdom of Babel on will come after that and be a great kingdom and it goes through all these. - What this did tell you too and show you is how they're putting together their later books, right? And what they're following as far as their blueprint, the details that we don't see, if you're just looking at revelations as to what's gonna happen and how and what, how you can tell it's being manipulated by man, by people, by the Yauist cult that is actually the cult of Saturn. And what we're seeing throughout the world right now happening, you'll get more of the details and understand why there's more of these references to these symbols and these cult figures of the past. If you have the sibling oracles to go with, to go along with the revelations because you know this is something that's being manipulated and artificially produced so that people who are of faith will believe that it's coming from God and not from man itself and that's where the big mistake is because they're following people over the edge of a cliff like a bunch of lemmings. - These different ages. And then it says, - Which apparently don't actually really do that. I think that was a lie about lemmings that they actually like killed these animals for a video documentary and it wasn't even how they live. It's not really what they do. Then it starts getting into Alexander the Great will conquer the East. And then after Alexander the Great Rome and then it brings you to Romulus and Remus. Like, wait a minute, Romulus and Remus, see? And so there's no borders between religions in this time. There's no like, oh, we're over here in Christian land and we're not allowed to talk about Romulus at Remus or the Trojan War. No, they believe this stuff, the Trojan War. Look at it says right here. Now you, wretched Frigia, do I be well pitiously, for on you will come captivity from Greece, which subdues horses and terrible war. One of these will be a mighty warrior will be a king for the sake of his brother. He will perform most evil deeds. Those they will destroy famous walls of Troy, of the Frigians when the son of Cronos for twice five revolving years fulfills the murderous deeds of war. A great man from Zeus, a king, will have the name. So there is no separation from... - So then I have to ask, are these revelations after the fact, are these like what do you call prophecy after the fact or is it something that predated it? That would be my first question because if it's very accurate, my first suspicion would be that it's not just some oracle talking about it. It's because they wrote it after it happened. - That happens a lot, especially with the old and new Testament. - Homer and Hesiod, there's no separation. The texts, and you can almost argue that the Old Testament is a... You have a realization of these texts where they're taking these demons and lower gods and putting them in making them people basically. And you mentioned Noah. So one of the sibling texts right here says that Saturn represents Noah or... - Also look up Atrahasis or buy my book because I talk about the original Noah from the Enuma Elish, which is the Babylonian Genesis story. - For the sons of Noah may be Saturn, Titan, Yaputus. The flood is described 40 days. This is where the Gentiles tradition in the rain 40 days, talking about Dukali on its flood. This is from Hesiod. - So I also wanna highlight something because they're talking about Frigia and they're talking about it in derogatory sense sometimes. Like Frisians, Frigia, Scythians, Goths, Germanic people, lots of different sub-sex in between, right? Those who were favoring the marketplace to be pirates, to be Lestes and do human trafficking and who were being taught or corrupted by the Magi or those who conduct the dark arts, they were the wrong group of people that were no longer welcome in places like when we talk about the Orlando book. The Orlando book describes the difference between them and how you have Freya, you have Lita and you have Finda's children, right? So there's some overlap here, but just say that when they say Frigia don't think, oh, these guys are contradicting the Scythian and Frisian. No, there's because there's more than one group of people just like everything else. And some of them were quite lost according to the other ones who said, this is not how you conduct life. It's a major article, society, family, you know, this is all, you know, we cheated by like family, we're fair, we're honest, this and that. And then the other ones who would like be for the marketplace, the bandits on the road, right? The merchants and thieves, the cutthroats, those are whole separate group that went off and were jerking around with the magic and getting into some weird stuff like the burning purple. - Deod. And then it says the Iranians are derived from the Frigians and spoke the same language comprehended as old Frigia. This is where. - Armenians, he says Armenians, Armenians. - The arc landed supposedly, right? So they're all, this is all one thing. This is not like, there's no separation. There's no like borders between these religions and it. - But that is interesting to say that the Armenians were derived from the Frigians and spoke the same language. - So for some reason in older writings, the letter F is a lot of times in place of the letter S. So once you understand that, you can read this a little bit better. So F is for F and F is also for S. So it says F-P-O-K-E for spoke. F-A-M-E, which spells fame, but it's actually in the context, it's same, right? - With the Lucky Land slugs, you can get Lucky just about anywhere. - Daily Beloved, we're gathered here today. Has anyone seen the bride and groom? - Sorry, sorry, we're here. - We were getting lucky in the limo and we lost track of time. - No, Lucky Lane Casino, with cash prizes that add up quicker than a guest registry. - In that case, I pronounce you Lucky. - Thank you for free at Luckylands slugs.com. - No purchase necessary. - BGW grow boy were prohibited by law, 18 plus terms and conditions apply. - So the sadder thing's interesting because you also have you Sibius later on, talking about how Kronos, he says right here, Kronos, with the Phoenicians called Elus, who was the king of the country and subsequently-- - Like the Aleutian mysteries, Elus, right? - After his decree was deified as the star sadder, had a nymph of that country named Anobret, an only begotten son whom they, on this account, called Yedud, the only begotten-- - Yedud? - And being so-called among the Phoenicians. And he's citing Sanco Niethon for this, an old Phoenician priest, as you see in the second paragraph. And his translation of Sanco Niethon about the Phoenician alphabet, says concerning the reptiles and venomous beasts will contribute no service to mankind. So right away, we're seeing this imagery of serpents being evil and wicked, right? Whereas before that, the serpent was a symbol of power. And now-- - Wisdom is what it was. But it says, I want to read this part to you because this is kind of interesting. In this translation of the Sanco Niethonian about the Phoenician alphabet, says concerning the reptiles and venomous beasts, which contribute to no good service to mankind, but work death and destruction to any in whom they inject their curable and fatal poison. It's also, he describes saying word for word as follows, and then it goes into some more stuff. But what Neil is making a mistake of here is that they always revered and feared the snake, but they, through their magic and their pharmacia, their medicine, their drugs, started manipulating and playing around with it, because when you have waves and captives, which, again, when you're talking about Phryzians, they didn't keep cactus, they either killed you or they made hospitable with those who they conquered. So again, that would be another one of those practices that the core group of the Phryzians, at least, would not have been partaking in. And you read about that all throughout the Orlando book. But those who do that were also the same type that would trade and sell those people, and that's where you get those, there was a laystace in the pirates on the Berbers, right? The pirates on the sea. I know Berbers is not the right word because it's usually directed towards a different group of people, but you get it. The reason why they called that in the first place, 'cause barbarians, 'cause all their languages sound like bar, bar, bar, bar. That's why they were called that by the Greeks. Like they said, their language is inferior and they sound like a bunch of Neanderthals, basically. So this whole thing about the serpent has multiple. But what they're saying is it's about who's applying it and what they're using it for. And there are those who wish death upon you. So therefore, they're going to poison their arrows with the venom and things like that that will bring only death and destruction, right? - Oh, it's divinity. - Yeah, you notice that that serpent is right in there in that coat, right? They can't be using the drugs and not make that a part of all the imagery, right? I love this passage, by the way. - And the last one is the nature then of the dragon and of the serpents, Tothus himself regarded as divine. And so again, after him did the Phoenicians and Egyptians for this animal was declared to be by him, be all reptiles, most full of breath and firing in consequence of which it also exerts an inserpable swiftness by means of its breath without feet or in hands or any other of the external members, which other animals make by their movements. It also exhibits forms of various shapes and its progress makes spiral leaps as swift as it chooses. And so, I don't know, there's so much going on here so there's so much like cultic language and symbolism being thrown around here. He then says that in the next page over, he says, the mysteries of, oh, he says, the phallus derived as a symbol of generation to those who are being initiated into the adult adulterious art and they pay a piece of money to her as lovers to a harlot. The mysteries of Dio and the armorous embraces of Zeus with Demeter, his mother, and the wrath of. I know not what to call her now, his mother or wife Demeter, an account which wrath they say she was called Bremo, the supplications of Zeus and the drink of gall, the plucking out of the victim's heart and the unspeakable deeds, these things to friggy and celebrate in honor of Addis and Kibalee and the Cory Bontas. - Wait a minute, wait a minute. Just for the benefit of the creeps in the audience, like me, what are they doing in this rite? They're drinking the gall, okay, I've seen the gall of the echidna, these are, that's the specific drug. So they're drinking the gall and plucking out the victim's heart. Wait, where do we use the heart in here? And what does this have to do with that? Breath of fire, right? This is all related people. That breath of fire is all related. That's why people went to see Medea because she could do it through the serpent, right? So, okay, fantastic. And it's all for the celebration of Addis and Sibley. You saw that, Neil. Now we can't deny it. We can't deny that Sibley and Addis are those, you know, the heart. And notice when the Sible says, go get and bring Sibley here, right? - Yes, that's the whole point of what I was gonna say is, the Sibley books are the actual books that told her to go get her and bring her to Rome. Isn't that fascinating? You can't deny, that's, I mean, like, and you'll see, I'm gonna show you, 'cause the later Sibles are trying to like, trying to, I don't know how, it's like they're ashamed of their past 'cause there's a Sibley, there's a text that I'm gonna show later on where the writer is saying, just ignore all the pagan Sibley and texts. Those are all fables. Who cares about those? Like, what? You're just gonna throw that out there. It's like, but anyways, I'm gonna build up to that 'cause I really wanna show this. He says that they also have made up a story that Zeus, having torn off parts of a ram, brought and threw them into the lap of Dio, paying a fraudulent penalty for his violence, as though he had been parts of himself. The watchworts of this initiation, if set before you, merely for amusement, well, I know stir your laughter. Although you may not be willing to laugh because of the exposures, I ate out of the drum. This is the secret. This is what you say when you get initiated. I ate, and the Clement of Alexandria writes about this too, I ate out of the drum and drank out of the symbol. I danced the kiero, kiero, kiero, paria. Is that what it says? Yeah, I slipped into the bridal chamber, are not these watchworts in outrage, are not the mysteries of farce. But what if I shall add the rest of the story? Demeter has a child and her daughter grows up again. This Zeus, who begat her, seduces his own daughter, Farafata. After her mother Dio, forgetting his former crying, he approaches her in the form of a serpent. It is thus proved who he was, according to the Sabazian mysteries. The sign for this, who are initiated, the God gliding over the breast, and this is a serpent drawn over the breast of those who are initiated. A proof of the incontinence, incontinence of Zeus. Parafata also gives birth to a son in the form of a bowl. So he had this, this cultic imagery that they're throwing out there, of these pagan rites, right? That whole God and the breast thing is huge, Neil, because that's how they identified people who were following the Orphic mystery, was through that symbol. People have argued, I've heard classicists argue, but what exactly that means? What is the God and the breast, right? Was it some kind of mark, was it some kind of indication, some kind of, oh, they flash hand signals, right? When you, that's what the classists are trying to figure out. When you look at the drugs that are being used and how they're being used, the serpent and the breast makes a lot more sense. It's gonna be those people whose eyes have been opened and they now see via that serpent vision, that reality via the communion. So yeah, and I'm gonna show you how Mary, oh, surprise, I'm gonna show you how Mary does it, that exact thing, right there, gorgeous text. By the way, guys, these are gorgeous texts. You can't get them. - I love it 'cause it shows you what, there's that competing ideologies of religion happening in these times. And then he says this, this is the lesson, but he, this is the last thing he says about this. He says, these are the secret mysteries of the Athenians. These are the things that Orpheus records, by the way, there's Christian Orphic texts in this time where they're claiming Orpheus. And Orpheus is talking about, he actually in one of the texts, I wish I had it with me, I can show it to people later, where the God's name of the Father, God, is Zeus. Jesus is like the son of Zeus in this passage. But anyways, these are the things that Orpheus records, but I will set before you the very words of Orpheus that you may have the master of mysteries himself as a witness of the shamelessness. She's spake and quick, her flowing robes withdrawn, showed all the secret beauty of her form, the child Yachos laughing, stretched his hand to touch her tender breast and Babo smiled, and two, the goddess smiled with cheerful thought. For some reason, this is a really important passage. And you see it, it's excited by so many writers in the ancient world and took the shining bowl, which held the drop. There is also a watchword of the Elusinian mysteries. I already said this, I fasted, I drank the drop, I took from the chest, I finished, you know, obviously, worthy rather are the mysteries of nicks and of torchlight and the great-hearted or rather weak-minded people of the Erechthidai and also the Greeks, men of whom remain after, I can't see that last part on my screen right now, but after death, things that they took little for. - Nice. - So nice. - Cibius is like really getting into this stuff. And he's trying to, what he's trying to do here is he's trying to say that all these people who are looking for this divine child, this divine soter child, we found him guys, stop looking, he's here, is Jesus. He's trying to say that all these pagan mysteries that are all looking for this one thing are all pointed to Jesus. That's the whole point of this book. It's called "The Preparation for the Gospel." And then he's basically saying like, you know, all the stuff that Plato wrote about, all the stuff that Pythagoras wrote about, they're just looking for Christianity. Christianity's the answer to all this stuff. That's what he's trying to argue in here. But it's fascinating, they have to go through the old ways to get to this. You know what I'm saying? - I totally know what he's saying. There was some dirty stuff in the third to last, and the very last one you put up there. - Yeah. - Yeah, bring that up again if you can now because there's something. - Which one? - Just the last one you put up there. The last, the last, yeah, there you go. Look at this, she spake and quicker flowing rose withdrawn. You said this one is super important it is. It's all over the place. - Yeah. - It's hugely in cult symbol, right? We talk about this passage for its cult symbol, right? And what is this doing? Babu is exposing herself, right? And quicker flowing robes withdrawn. She's showing the child her secret beauty. She's showing the child her secret beauty. And that child is Euchos. That Euchos is what you are when you are in the right. - Your beauty shows us this, right? Technically it's a shout, y'all. - And just to highlight how important this is. - Y'all. Let's ask something like, yeah. - Just to show you that when archeologists are digging all over Greece, especially in Athens, they find these, these idols of women exposing themselves. That's Babu. So this was a, sort of like how you have with Priapis, like the charms basically, they would hold, they would have these in front of their houses, you know? - Dick charms. - There's a power to that exposure, right? And notice, in this part of the mystery is launch what happens with the kid. Can we get that text again now? - Yeah. - Yeah, to touch, so the kid extends his hands, touch your breasts, right? And Babu smiled. Then to the goddess smile, which you're full thought, that goddess that they're making smile is Demeter, who is returning back to a happy place from her, from the abduction of her daughter, right? She's looking for the abduction. - Persephone. - Looking for her daughter, right? Then they took the shining bowl, which held the draft. Remember the only thing that she's consuming at the time Demeter is that opium, right? She's drinking that opium. The text specifically say that. So this is a very practical right, right? That has to do with a child and the exposure that brings the new age, right? Then there's a new ruler in the underworld, right? She's a queen. It's the only reason Demeter doesn't walk away from everything, right? Because that idiot who witnessed it said, you know, she's a great queen. Anyway, that wonderful passage, Neil, they thought that was hugely important in antiquity. - Oh yeah, this was like a super important ritual from in Athens. And by the way, notice how there is no, there's no epistle to the Athenians. Christianity, Athens was holding steadfast to their rights as the rest of the Greek world was converting to Christianity. The Athenians were the last ones to stay like, you know, it's just interesting how that is. - With the Lucky Land Sluts, you can get lucky just about anywhere. - Daily Beloved, we're gathered here today.

It's sad. And so whenever a modern Christian tells you everything in our society is built, no, no, no. You guys trashed another society. - Well, this was actually written about by one of the symbols that said that Rome was gonna fall because of this. And in response to that, late, like centuries later, somebody was commenting on that. And I have the text here. It's from another, let's see, where is it? He says, "Woe is me." This is Sibley Oracles. Talk about the fall of Rome. I shall see the day of which the unfortunate to the oh Rome, most to all Italy, the soldiers imagined with anger. Him who ascends the Trojan chariot who came from Asia. Talk about Aeneas, you know what I mean? Is all their references to the Trojan War and how Rome is basically this founding city founded by Aeneas. And then on the bottom, the person writes the Sible, like the other poets, supposes the law that day that Rome fell, but none can think that will be alive then. Therefore, such a fiction of former Sibils ought to not be objected against their oracles, the Trojan chariot. Like notice how he's ignored, he's talking shit about the former Sibils because they're, because it's pagan. You know what I mean? He's like, just ignore it. Just ignore the Sibils from the previous ages. There's a bunch of pagans. They don't know what they're talking about. But I wanted to set this up for this, because after Romulus and Remus, we get these oracles against Rome. And then, they start talking about Nero. See, which one do I got? I got a bunch of these different Nero texts. Let's see, they'll start this one. I don't know which one's in order. It says against an oracle against the Gauls. Then there's an oracle against Ethiopia's. Then it says the return of Nero. - If you guys hear something weird, I'm gonna have to try to just test that video that just finished rendering to make sure that it's not corrupted. And so if you hear anything doubling over, I'll just pause it quickly. Just, I just had to verify that it's gonna play that so. You too, Corinne, be well, the mournful destruction within you for when three sister fates, spinning with twisted threads. By the way, that's kind of a pagan thing. Sister fates, right? - Totally. - Yeah. Beyond the bank of the, you don't hear that in church that they're talking about the sister fates, like they're not talking about that. This is old terminology being used by Christians. Anyways, who formally cut off the rock with ductile bronze. He will destroy and ravage your land also as is decreed for to him God gave strength to perform things like no previous king, one of all the kings. For first of all, cutting off the roots from the three heads, mightily will blow. He will give them to others to eat. So they will eat the flesh of the parents of the impious king. For the murder and terrors are in store for all men because of the great city and righteous people, which is preserved throughout everything, which providence held in special place. And then it says, let's see where to go. This is also about Nero in the same book. The career of Nero and his flight to the east. The poets will be well thrice wretched Greece when a great king of Rome, - wretched Greece, huh? God like man from Italy will cut the ridge of the isthmus. Him they say, Zeus himself begot Lady Hera. Playing at theatricals with honey sweet songs rendered in melodious voice, he will destroy many men in his wretched mother. He will flee from Babylon, a terrible and shameless prince from all mortals and noble men to spies. For he destroyed many men and laid hands on the womb. He sinned against spouses and was sprung from abominable people. See a lot of people Christians did not like Rome, by the way, they did not like Rome, call them abominable people. He will come to the, to the meaties, the means and the kings of the person. - Who are the Christians back then, right? Just another Judean façade, right? - Christians, those whom he first desired to whom he gave glory. Lurking with these, by the way it was well known that Nero was well connected with the Persian satraps. He had a lot of allies over there. That's why they were so afraid of him fleeing from Rome and going to the east to set up a new army and come back. This is what, they thought this was actually gonna happen. So it says, he sees the divinely built temple, talking about Jerusalem and burn the citizens and people who went into it. Men who my rightly praised for on his appearance, the whole creation was shaken and kings perished. And those in whom sovereignty remained destroyed a great city and righteous people. Notice how Zeus and Hera are in here like it's no big deal. Zeus and Hera, imagine a Christian, imagine, imagine going to church today. I don't care what your nomination is, imagine Baptists, whatever, Catholic. Imagine that the pastor was like, I wonder what Zeus thinks about all this. Let's ask Hera what she thinks about this. This doesn't happen anyway, they don't exist. The way religion is now, those these gods, their fables, their fiction, their myths, they don't exist. But in this time period, these gods existed still. They were Daemons. Some even thought Zeus was Yahweh. Some thought he was Saturn. There's different ideas floating around there. Wouldn't that be the same thing? Like I mentioned how the Phonnesians called El Saturn. And I thought it was, and so. - Well, yeah, Isis also says her father is Saturn, which is interesting. - A little point on that. There's another sibling text. I'm trying to find where it is, it's in here somewhere. Where they laugh, they're basically making fun of Bacchus. Let's see, is this the one? No. - All right, we're gonna transition over. We might come back to this later. When I have a chance to edit and get to the meat of these videos, I have a whole bunch of other things planned. Including something that you'll see that will hopefully be laughable in some respects and sad in others. But, let me see if I can even just show you real quick what I'm talking about. In case you wanna jump ahead of the game and take a look at it yourself. Let's go to this. I'm just gonna show you this real quick. On my, it's in my history here. It was. Well, there's a video from Danny Jones where he's talking with, it's probably, I don't see it yet. It's not this one. He's talking with a guy who is a Christian apologist. He's actually a Mormon. And he is going on and on about the, he's trying to fix what Emmon had said prior to. And being there. And he does a miserable job of it. Like so bad that it makes the whole argument even worse than it was before. So we will get to that. I don't know why it was in my history until I went on to look for it. That was not there. But I forgot the name of the guy. I think it's like Dan McClellan or something like that. And he was on Danny Jones talking afterward and he's kind of trying to do a rebuttal of Emmon. And again, Emmon's not the, the be all end all of anything. But his, the points that he does make some are valid. So it's worth listening to the rest of the stuff that goes along with Em and you can take or leave depending on your preferences there. But it's a little bit on the odd side. But the, I mean, if the Greek says what it says and they were trying to deny it or change, this would be what McClellan, I think his name is, was trying to do is just, oh, it's the context. Like words mean something, words mean something different if a Christian says it in the Bible. It doesn't have the same definition anymore. It's basically what his argument was the whole time. And it's, it was such a bad argument. It made, it made the rest of, you know, anyone else to defend it made them sound even worse. Like he did have the exact opposite effect of what he was trying to do. Plus he's a Mormon, right? So I'm not saying that, you know, whatever. But it's, you know, Mormon has a really big SRA problem, satanic ritual abuse problem. They, they, they hide people, they, they protect them. They do all kinds of strange things. And they're really guilty of a lot of the stuff that we hear about with the elites. And a lot of the military intelligence comes out of them too. So something to think about. Oh, let me get to the video now. So I'm going to have to try to find where we left off. So it's going to be a second. This is again, it wouldn't have happened if it was video didn't get corrupted. I would have already had it ready to go, but it wouldn't play back for me. So that kind of sucked a lot. It's going to start playing on its own. It seems like total up is what it does. All right. So without being able to see a preview beforehand, I have to find out where we were, isn't that fun? So the picture looks like that. It's a cow. I got to find that picture of the cow and then start playing from there. That's just going to be awesome. Yeah, wait. Show me the cow. Show me the cow. Big cows, no lammies and stop. Stop at a lammy, damn it. This doesn't seem like it's the full video at all. Not even close. Hopefully I'm wrong. Yeah, probably wrong. This is lame. I haven't defined this like one little picture is like so stupid. It's like the worst thing I have to do. Let me just go, I can take a look one more time. I have a pause on my old video that I had done, but now I got to kind of, oh, wait, hold on. Wait, where were we at? Oh, so close. So that picture right there, if I find that one, we might be good. All right, all right, let's see. I think I was close to it. This is so stupid. You know, I think we're going to do, I think we're just going to play it. If we're overlapping, we're overlapping. It is what it is. We went through that man, oh, man, to have an assistant, to have an assistant. Xerxes, we heard about that. We heard about that. I think we might be getting close here. Oh, yeah, let's start that off with this. Resulting in the loss of their chance to return home, this rebellion is notably executed while Odysseus is resting. A circumstance that recurs in Threnakia. In another foreshadowing instance, Eurylokus tries to discourage the crew from accompanying Odysseus back to Cersei. Even though he's unsuccessful here, Eurylokus positions himself as a representative of dissent, embodying the voice of those who will later rebel in Threnakia. The next significant act of insubordination happens as the crew lands on Threnakia, drawing them closer to Helios' sacred cattle. Both Tereseus and Cersei had cautioned Odysseus. - I know we've got past this 'cause we talked about the sacred cattle. There's the picture right there, all right, cool. - Particularly their fear of impending starvation. This mirrors Eurylokus' bleak perspective where he states that perishing from hunger is the worst kind of death. Subsequent to these events, when the Israelites set up camp at Refidim and are unable to find water, a fresh conflict emerges between them and Moses concerning their thirst. Moses perceives their defiance against him as tantamount to rebelling against God. Posing the question, why do you dispute with me? Why do you challenge the Lord? In several narratives, the absence of a leader plays a pivotal role in the ensuing insurrection. This is evident in the tell where unable to depart from Threnakia for a span of 30 days, Odysseus isolates himself from his crew to seek divine intervention. Such a circumstance offers an opportune moment for the crew to defy his instructions, seeking to further their own interests. However, it would be incorrect to suggest that Odysseus bears the blame for their mutiny. As some scholars occasionally assert, this perspective seemingly overlooks Zeus' fundamental proclamation on the liability of mortals. Additionally, it fails to recognize the thematic likenesses, the odyssey draws between the crew and the suitors, especially their engagement in rash deeds pinpointed by Zeus. Both entities exhibit a thematic lack of restraint, which will be further elaborated upon. Conversely, the absence of Odysseus provides insights into his character and how he stands apart from his crew. Modern readers might be taken aback by these traits, but Odysseus' pursuit of divine guidance reflects his moral compass and leadership's wisdom, emphasizing the captain's devotion in virtuous aspirations, further as Stanford remarks. - The choice of Odysseus to commune with the deities in seclusion mirrors the tendencies of a Hebrew prophet, more so than the collective and ritualistic spiritual practices of the Homeric hero, in Exodus. - Lucky Land Slots, asking people, what's the weirdest place you've gotten lucky? - Lucky? In line with the deli, I guess? - Uh-huh, in my dentist's office, more than once, actually. - Do I have to say? - Yes, you do. - In the car, before my kids' PTA meeting. - Really? - Yes. - Excuse me, what's the weirdest place you've gotten lucky? - I never win and tell. - Well, there you have it. You could get lucky anywhere playing at luckylandslots.com. Play for free right now. Are you feeling lucky? - No purchase necessary, VGW group, would be prohibited by law, 18 plus terms and conditions apply. - Yeah, and again, if you want all of the people that you are in command of to follow your lead, why doesn't the deity show the himself to everybody? That would settle the argument really quick. Would it not? So going off in seclusion and leaving your people to fester and wonder what you're up to and wonder what the heck if you just abandoned them or not and then come back 40 days later and be like, hey, what's been happening? Why didn't you just, there's a better way to do that? And it would have settled all the questions right away. But nah, nah, to take my word for it, everything's good. I talk to God, you can't, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It doesn't make sense. If you wanted them to follow, why wouldn't God just up and do what he's seemingly able to do with one person? Hey, I'm here, this is me, this is what I do. See how I do it? You should follow this guy 'cause I put him in charge. It would have been settled. - This 32, the prolonged absence of Moses is what agitates the Israelites, a scenario reminiscent of three nakia where the crew's restlessness precedes Odysseus' solitary quest for prayer due to the winds. The correlation between Moses' absence and the Israelites' subsequent defiance is delineated more overtly than in the Odyssey. As illustrated by the phrase, the peoples saw that Moses was so long and coming down from the mountain. Moses' absence spans 40 days. And within this timeframe in Exodus 24, when he departs to converse with Yahweh until his return in chapter 32, the Old Testament authors interpose an episode which doesn't directly pertain to the insurrection. The narrative of Moses' divine engagement atop the mountain as captured between Exodus 25 to 31 synthesizes to mythological. - I always thought that this thing right here in the middle with a little, it looked like a camera. Like they're setting up for a video or something. It just looks funny. It's like, yeah, and action. - Well, structures, anabasis and the visionary experience, Moses as a scent or going up referred to as an anabasis in the Septuagint is analogous to a celestial journey. As Moses scales the peak, he metaphorically nears the heavens. Here, he is endowed with a modified visionary experience with Yahweh serving as his otherworldly mentor. In both tales, the leaders' absence stems from their engagement or attempt to communicate with the divine as seen with Moses and Odysseus. While the respective followers act in defiance of their deities intent, in moments of exacerbated impatience, people often seek alternative leaders who, in the absence of a direct connection to the divine, tend to oppose sacred edicts to fulfill the demands of the disappointed. Urilikos exhibits such tendencies on numerous occasions. He is believed to be the unidentified crew member who tempts fate by opening Aeolus' bag, a transgression that notably occurs during Odysseus' slumber. Urilikos directly confronts Odysseus on Ayyaya and plays a pivotal role in the decision to dock at Threnakia. In Exodus 32, Aaron. - Pants just seem to slow these people down. No need. - And Moses' sibling and the high priest tasked with leading sacrificial rights steps into this surrogate leadership role. It's essential to note that Aaron was not originally a front runner amongst the disgruntled. In previous narratives, he was in fact a target of their rage. The Israelites fault him and Moses for their predicaments with Pharaoh and for their tribulations en route to Canaan. However, it's during their prolonged stay at Mount Sinai's base and the protracted absence of Moses. The Aaron rises as the leader of the dissenting group. The disparity in behavior. Urilikos' recurrent confrontations with Odysseus in contrast to Aaron's loyalty to Moses up until Exodus 32 becomes more pronounced when assessing their eventual destinies in the culmination of their respective myths. Both protagonists and the narrative share the trait of having a relative in a secondary leadership role. Urilikos shares family ties with Odysseus being connected through marriage as highlighted in Odysseus' recounting. This bond becomes particularly significant when Odysseus contemplates retribution against Urilikos for attempting to deter the crew from journeying to Cersei's abode. Despite the degree of kinship not being as close as that of Aaron and Moses, the fundamental sentiment remains consistent. It is unexpected for a relative to exhibit disloyalty to the main leader. Aaron's introduction into Moses' overarching narrative comes notably late. His emergence is only recorded post Moses' marriage and extended tenure with the Midianites. Specifically, it's upon the conclusion of the Burning Bush episode where Yahweh designates Aaron as Moses' spokesperson. Interestingly, while Moses' sister gets a mention, albeit without a name, in the primary narrative, Aaron's conspicuous absence despite his significant involvement later on is intriguing. Some scholars underscore this delayed introduction, remarking on the absence of prior mention of Aaron, saying, "No previous report of Aaron's existence "had been made." The apparent contradictions in Aaron's portrayal, ranging from being a leader of the dissenters to the progenitor of the priestly lineage, could likely be attributed to the merging of disparate narratives resulting in certain incongruities. Prior to significant divergencies in their narratives, both Eurylochus and Aaron are portrayed as collaborators with the primary protagonists. Eurylochus, although frequently portrayed as confronting or opposing Odysseus, also aids him on several occasions, especially in religious rituals. In the realm of Hades, Eurylochus, along with another crew member, Paramedes, helps with the sacrifice of two rams in line with Cersei's guidance, following her previous directions. When they later confront the sirens, it is Cersei's explicit instructions that save them, detailing how Odysseus can listen to their song, yet remain unscathed, emphasizing that should he request to be released, his bindings should instead be tightened. When the song's allure proves irresistible to Odysseus, it is Paramedes and Eurylochus who enforced his bindings. Following Cersei's divine commands, evoking the ritualistic nature of the event came to the Hades sacrifice. In the same vein, Aaron, in relation to Moses, echoes Eurylochus's relationship with Odysseus, though he later spearheads the rebellion in Exodus 32, Aaron's earlier representations depict him harmoniously collaborating with Moses. His inaugural mention in Exodus reveals Yahweh's intention for the brothers to act in concert with Aaron as Moses' mouthpiece. Throughout Moses' engagements with Pharaoh, Aaron consistently partners with him, showcasing their collaborative spirit as the inaugural High Priest of Israel, Aaron's intimate involvement in sacrificial rights is evident. Their collaborative endeavors peak when they jointly petition Pharaoh for permission to conduct a sacrifice to Yahweh. When Pharaoh's subsequent denial, Aaron's capacities are highlighted as he executes a series of miraculous acts, including transforming the Nile's waters to blood. These acts, intriguingly foreshadow, his capability to fashion the golden calf later on. (gentle music) Disrespecting the divine. In his desire to avoid death by starvation considered the most tragic demise, Eurylochus suggests slaughtering the prime cattle of Helios. - And now we know why the communists love the star of people. - As an offering to the gods of Olympus, he then proposes to perform rights in honor of Helios once they return home. The transgression is artfully concealed within the framework of ritual practices with Odysseus away and slumber. Eurylochus and the rest of the crew proceed to see several of Helios' cattle. They offer prayers before slaughtering, skinning and roasting the animals, committing a profound sacrilege. In a parallel narrative, certain Israelites resembling the most unnamed crew members of Odysseus save four prayer meaties, approach Aaron with a request to create and venerate idols not dedicated to Yahweh. Heating their wishes, Aaron collects their gold earrings and crafts the golden calf, even constructing an altar to worship it. This act of using... - They said we want a God we can see. Again, yeah, we could have done something about that if you really wanted to. - In gold, Jory, can be traced back to an earlier episode in Egypt where the Israelites had acquired gold and silver ornaments from their neighbors. Although Exodus 32, two to three, specifically cites the nose rings as the source. - What they're doing here also is a parable to the pagans and the image ring because the image is what they call the idol, right? The idol worship or whatever. The image was important in the pagan rites of the drug induced death and rebirth. They would actually even jot down after your experience of what you could say in words. They would write your experience out, see if they could find, is this from a book or just as analysis? It's pulling from a bunch of different sources. I don't know what myth vision does in the backside of their performances, but I don't know, Boca. He's quoting the Exodus an awful lot and stuff like that, but as far as it's comparative between this and the exploration and the Greek myth. But what is I saying about the image is that they're kind of with the golden calf, they're kind of bringing up the idea of the pagan being, of course, against Yahweh, which we were just listening to Nasek and Forman and how that wasn't separate before. It also kind of shows the dating to be much later in history than what they say was written. The golden calf, there's a possibility that it indirectly alludes to the jewelry mentioned in Exodus 11, too. In both Greek and Old Testament narratives, divine prohibitions play a recurrent and crucial role. A comparison can be drawn between Adam and Eve's violation of the ban against consuming from the tree of knowledge and the Greek myths wherein Epimetheus is warned not to receive gifts from Zeus and Pandora, as cautioned against opening the urn, as recorded, in works and days. These stories symbolize the initial pairs in both Israelite and Greek mythologies. A reoccurring theme in these tales is the failure of humans, early humans, to honor agreements with deities, especially in heating divine prohibitions. In the biblical story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, an angel instructs Lot and his family not to glance back while escaping. The dire consequence of ignoring the divine command is vividly illustrated when Lot's wife, defying the command transformed into a pillar of salt. In Homer's Odyssey, Cersei reiterates Tyresius' warnings to avoid harm-- - Nice God, right? - Farming Helios' cattle, elevating a seer's warning to the stature of a divine command, central to the-- - And of course, that's also symbolism in cryptic language, it's not a literal thing that happened. They're talking about some type of right or ritual that they're conducting, and it's portrayed that way. - Exodus narrative, the Decalogue is comprised solely of divine prohibitions by crafting the idol and participating in the ritual. Aaron and the dissenting Israelites breach three of these decrees. - You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven, above or on earth, beneath or in the waters below. You should not bow down to them or worship them for I, the Lord, your God, and the jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation. - That sounds like a psychopath to me and a jealous one. Of those who hate me, Exodus 23 through five. - Subsequent to this initial version of the Decalogue, Yahweh expressly instructs Moses. - You must not make gods of silver to be worshiped beside me, nor may you make yourselves gods of gold. - This additional divine prohibition is also infringed upon by Aaron and the defiant Israelites. A striking similarity in both myths is the direct conveyance of divine prohibitions by the deities Cersei and Yahweh to the pivotal figures Odysseus and Moses respectively. Both myths depict the rebels' rituals as a skewed imitation of authentic ceremonies. In the Odyssey, Yerilakos and his team are primarily driven by hunger with the sacrifice to Helios serving nearly as a cover. The genuineness of their sacrifice is further brought into question by their use of unsuitable substitutes. In place of barley, they scatter outleafs and without wine, they offer water as libations. The legitimacy of their ceremony is questionable, disregarding the divine prohibition surrounding the cattle. Their subsequent banquet spans six days and is punctuated by eerie omens, including moving cattle hides and sound of mooing from the meat being roasted. As some scholars have pointed out, this last feast with its unsettling omens bears thematic similarities to the final meal of the suitors in the Odyssey and theocliminuses foreboding vision of a palace drenched in blood haunted by ghostly apparitions. A comparable narrative emerges with Aaron and the Israelites, their creation of the golden calf defies divine mandates. The following events are marked by a day long feast where they sat down to eat and drink and later engaged in festivity. Scholars draw attention to the disparity between this ritualistic behavior and their subsequent hedonism, highlighting that. - The people's actions mimic the covenants formulation in chapter 24, which also encompass sacrifice and a holy meal in the presence of a discernible deity. - In both myths, there's an association of the same animal type, whether it's a cow, bull or a calf. While these animals are commonly used in sacrificial rights and represented as divine symbols, this similarity, albeit broad, provides yet another parallel. In Exodus 32, the bovine representation of the idol adds a layer of mockery. Having encountered Yahweh, the Israelites revert to venerating a deity linked to an animal form. This serves as a reflection of the shared sacrificial traditions between the Greeks and Israelites, evident throughout the mosaic text. We must emphasize that the dissenters are actually conscious of the transgressions they are undertaking. Tereseus forewarns of the crew's doom if they harm Helios' cattle. Notably, both Urilikos and Pyramides are present during this prophecy alongside Odysseus. Later, as they sell past Trinocchia, Odysseus conveys the essence of Tereseus' warning to the entire crew, eliciting from them an oath to refrain from killing any ox or sheep, which they do least swear. The gravity of infringing upon Helios' cattle is not lost on them. Urilikos' own words, when advocating for the consumption of the cattle, attest to his comprehension of the peril. Despite being fully apprised of the consequences, they consciously decide they'd prefer perishing at sea over succumbing to hunger on Trinocchia and their wish is tragically granted. In the context of the Old Testament, given the relentless critiques against venerating any deity other than Yahweh, the Israelites would undoubtedly recognize, even if subconsciously, that they're partaking an apostasy. This apostasy-- - If you're the creator and a group of people who have a different impression of what that creator is and they worship you, aren't they still worshiping you? Because if you are the creator, you've created that thing too, right? I don't know. - Estate act is thematically known to elicit Yahweh's anger as particularly emphasized in Exodus 25. Both myths incorporate discussions regarding temple construction. In the Odyssey, while persuading the crew to sacrifice some of Helios' cattle, Eurylochos promises to construct a temple in honor of the God upon their safe arrival. Such a subject is infrequently broached in Homeric epics. Alfred Hubeck elaborates, mentions of dedicating temples are especially noteworthy in Homer, considering there are hardly any mentions of Greek temples, save for one, the temple of Athena at Athens, and another at Troy, and among the Phoenicians. Historically, dark age Greeks began constructing temples relatively later, perhaps influenced by external cultures. Eurylochos' commitment juxtaposed with his urging to harm the God's sacred livestock exudes a sense of thoughtless contradiction. Meanwhile, the Exodus narrative in the chapters preceding 32 extensively details the blueprint of the tabernacle and its associated offerings. Though presented distinctively, this is another shared motif between the myths, strategically positioned in their respective narratives. Eurylochos' envisioned temple is opulent, filled with Agalmara or offerings pleasing to the gods. These could be sacrifices, artifacts, or even idols. The Septuagint's translation also utilizes Agalmara in similar contexts. The terms inaugural, mention in the Odyssey, sheds light on its versatility, Aegistos' drawing parallels to the suitors and the crew, post-sacrificing animals presents Agalmara, comprising gold and woven artifacts, as tokens of appreciation for winning climate nestra's affection. Like Eurylochos, Aegistus offers Agalmara subsequent deeds frowned upon by the gods as emphasized by Zeus. When Nestor identifies Athena's prior presence, he pledges a gilded horned yearling cow as a sacrifice to her. This offering, later meticulously detailed, is identified as an Agalmara for Athena. Echoing the gilded calf idol in Exodus 32, the Odyssey's sole portrayal of the Trojan horse from the Trojan's viewpoint offers intriguing parallels. The Trojans, after some contemplation, consider the wooden horse a divine Agalmara, and usher it into their city, mirroring the Israelites in Exodus 32, the Trojans in linking this wooden representation to deities inadvertently seal their fate. Odysseus and Moses discern the indiscretions of their people from afar upon their return. As Odysseus wakes up and makes his way back to the ship, he detects the aroma of roasting meat even before reaching his crew, similarly as Moses descends the mountain with the tablets crafted by Yahweh, Joshua assumes the noises are from a battle. However, Moses more accurately discerns. - It is not the sound of victory or the sound of defeat. It's the sound of singing that I hear. - I think we did catch this last week or last Monday, but yeah, we'll get caught up here soon. - Exodus 32. The Septuagint further expresses joyfulness among the Israelites, which closely aligns with the atmosphere in Odyssey 12, where the celebratory feast continues for six days. The text states. - I hear their voice led by wine, Exodus 32. - Total destruction by wrathful gods. In a celestial assembly, Helios consumed by rage over an affront, warned Zeus that he may refrain from illuminating the earth, saying. - If they fail to offer me fair compensation for my cattle, I will descend to Hades and light up the realm of the deceased. - As Professor Loudon references in his book in chapter one, this represents a distinct variant of celestial assembly wherein the supreme sky deity, such as Zeus, arbitrates with an angered God who issues threats of widespread devastation. A parallel can be seen in the Epic of Gilgamesh, where an- - But here's another thing to consider. So if Helios is above Zeus in the sense here, and Zeus is equated to Yahweh, then Yahweh isn't the top dog. Enraged Ishtar confronts Anu proclaiming. - I shall direct myself to the netherworld and awaken the deceased, causing them to consume the living, outnumbering them. - Should Helios decide to cast his light solely in the underworld? It would inevitably result in a cataclysmic event, extinguishing all life on earth, yet Zeus adeptly pacifies Helios, convincing him to limit his retribution solely to those humans who harmed his cattle. Upon learning of an insurrection, Yahweh's reaction mirrors that of Helios. He is so deeply aggrieved by their act that he contemplates annihilating all Israelites. Beyond just the culprits of the indiscretion, however, Moses intervenes, similarly to how Zeus pacified Helios. As highlighted in Professor Loudon's chapter one of his book, Moses' conversation with Yahweh can be viewed as a type of celestial assembly, reminiscent of the Zeus- Helios exchange. This assembly is groundbreaking for two reasons. It involves discourse between a deity and a mortal, and it portrays Moses and a role customarily associated with a supreme deity. Several scholars have observed that in various episodes of Exodus, Moses assumes responsibilities typically ascribed to a deity, and this distinct scenario, Moses, much like Zeus or Anu, negotiates with the wrathful God, Yahweh, akin to Helios or Ishtar. Moses succeeds in moderating Yahweh's fury, convincing him to reduce the scale of punishment from a potential annihilation of the entire Israelite population to the demise of a mere 3,000 individuals. There are broader thematic resemblances between the narratives of Poseidon in Homeric literature and Yahweh in the Old Testament episodes. Both deities voice grievances about perceived disrespect as demonstrated by Poseidon at Odyssey 13 and Iliad 7. Despite this being a prevalent motif, considering the parallels identified between Yahweh and Poseidon in Chapter 7 of Loudon's book, these deities appear to share significant similarities. A speculative hypothesis proposed by E.L. Brown suggests that the Daon in Poseidon or Poseidon, as referenced in Homer, might be etymologically linked to Daegon, a primary deity of the Philistines in the Old Testament tales. Given that numerous archetypes, which is interesting because when you read the Eucharitic texts, which I don't understand why these people still get this wrong a lot and when they're doing their presentations, if they read it, Daegon was the father of Baal. Baal wasn't El's child. So that's something that I thought would be more important to them since he's the only deity in the way to call it the Pantheon that wasn't a son of El. Theologist now linked the Philistines with the Mycenaean Greek culture, the plausibility of an etymology connection between these names is conceivable. Both Odysseus from the Odyssey and Moses from the Book of Exodus are portrayed as figures, set apart from their respective companions due to their principled actions and avoidance of transgressions. In the case of Odysseus, during the episode where his crew sacrilegiously slaughters the Cattle of Helios, he is absent, engaging in prayer. He neither partakes in the sacrilegious act nor indulges in the subsequent feast. This distinction is emblematic of Odysseus' intrinsic self-discipline, contrasted with the impulsive nature of his crew, highlighting his unique moral fiber. This one says what the hecateus is going on. Biblical authors have painted vivid portraits of iconic figures, treating them as historical luminaries, regardless of some of the rather eyebrow-raising assertions. Abraham's age of 175? A walk in the park compared to Adam's whopping 930-year tenure. Through the annals of history, historians and ecclesiastical scholars, with fervor akin to investigative detectives, have endeavored to tether these biblical tales to the realm of historical accuracy. Their tools? Intricate genealogies and comparative historiography, striving to lend the patriarchal chronicles an air of authenticity befitting the second millennium BCE. Yet, as time's relentless march continues, our academic arsenal has evolved, providing sharper instruments for dissecting the veracity of these age-old tales. The unquestioned existence of these biblical heavyweights was the modus operandi, even for the most discerning scholars, until, that is, the 20th century's latter half bestowed upon us a plot twist. Upon uncovering the intricate tapestry of sources that constitute the Genesis and patriarchal narratives, theories abounded. The documentary hypothesis, the supplementary hypothesis, and their scholarly siblings arose, all questing to reconcile the improbability of Moses, single-handedly pinning this voluminous work. By the 19th century, that notion had all but retired to the annals of antiquated thought. If there ever was an exodus, it is absolutely nothing like the Bible describes it. The same can be said about the united monarchy with King David and Solomon. The more we dig, the more scandalous it seems that the Bible is not historically accurate. But is that the author's goal? Are they trying to convince their readers and hearers of a fake history as Plato recommended in his writings? In the historical pursuit of the biblical patriarchs, many scholars equipped with both archaeological tools and scripture sought empirical confirmation of these iconic figures. In Egypt, one is presented with names from first immediate period, circa 2181 to 2055 BCE, associated with Abraham and believed to be Amorites. This association arises because of the phonetic resemblance to the Amuru, from South Mesopotamia, emerging around the same epoch. Parallel, the Hixos, linked to Jacob and Joseph, are perceived as invaders with Amorite affiliations. Curiously, it's the nomenclature of these patriarchs that seemingly connect these historical dots, allowing scholars to interpret these tales as condensed history of the Near East during the 2nd millennium. When drafting foundational stories of a nation, it's likely that authors might retroject their primeval figures. It is Ryan here, and I have a question for you. What do you do when you win?

Here we have a depiction of Kronos Saturn right in front of our faces here at the hourglass. Into antiquated settings, lending a veneer of authenticity. This perspective gains weight considering the lack of archaeological traces for many sighted cities, or their emergence only in the 8th and 7th centuries BCE. How can one validate a 12th century BCE conquest of cities that archaeologically appear half a millennium later? Such narratives likely embellished retellings of pure literary creations often weave in contemporaneous nuances, inadvertently revealing their true temporal origins. To draw a playful analogy, discovering a gospel where Peter cruises in a Honda Civic. I think we did go past this. We did the Honda Civic thing. Let me bring it up a little bit. Allologists have demonstrated a contempt for the Persian period and removed its remains to rubbish dumps in order to get down to the real Israelite layers. Lemke cites A. Mazzar's Archaeology of the Land of the Bible 586 BCE as illustrated to this attitude. As for the Hellenistic period, it should never be forgotten that the revitalization of the ancient Near East only became a fact after the Greek takeover. Ooh, there you go. There was barely anything there, barely anything going on until the Greeks were involved. It is an established fact that city life vastly expanded after the conquest of Alexander. Here we must realize what happened in Jerusalem and in Palestine. Innovations that were comparable, although on a smaller scale, to the cultural developments in Syria, Mesopotamia, and Egypt. Scholars may nurse very romantic ideas about what may have happened in the nooks and crannies of pre-Hellenistic Palestine. In a society considerably poorer than the one found there. For example, during the Late Bronze Age, a more worldly and realistic assessment of facts suggest that the Persian period was not the time when the Old Testament could have been written down. Hardly any parallel exists to such a development, but a lot of evidence that says the Hellenistic age was the formative period of early Jewish thought and literature as witnessed by the Old Testament itself. The myriad of laws within the Hebrew Bible draw parallels more closely to the works of Plato rather than the traditions of the ancient Near East. Both American and Philip Wajenbaum theorized that Plato's philosophical treaties were seminal influences, shaping the biblical authors formulation of idealistic national laws. When we look at Greek literature, we can see that the biblical tales of the Israelites' exodus under Moses and their conquest under Joshua are quite similar to the Greek Foundation stories. Even though this kind of storytelling wasn't common in the ancient Near East, it was very popular among the Greeks during the Hellenistic period. Land promises given to the biblical figures like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and those given to heroes like Heracles and Aneas. The stories of these patriarchs served as a prelude to the foundation of the Israelite nation by Moses and Joshua. Similarly, Greek tales about ancient heroes and foundational ancestors provided a historical context for subsequent movements and conquests. The Israelites' journey and settlement into the Promised Land mirrors Greek myths like the return of the Heracles, usually foundation stories, which explain how a group settled in a new territory, begin by detailing the problems that made them leave their original home. These issues could be overpopulation, famine, disease outbreaks, natural disasters, economic problems, internal conflicts, forced exile, military defeats, or escaping potential conquest and enslavement. In one ancient Jewish story written by Hekateus of Adera, around 315 BCE, it's said that Egypt became overpopulated, leading the Egyptians to sin settlers to places including Babylon and Judea. Another tale from Manitho, written around 285 BCE, claims that Jerusalem and Judea were first inhabited by the Hixos. Foreign rulers who took over Egypt, but were later forced out by the Egyptians due to a disease outbreak linked to the Hixos' ungodly practices. In contrast, the biblical Exodus story, written around 270 BCE, presents a different viewpoint. The Egyptians faced plagues as punishment for enslaving the Israelites, and only after suffering these calamities did the Pharaoh let them go. This narrative of escaping from bondage fits the pattern of Hellenistic foundation stories, and is a consistent theme in biblical tales. Their quest for freedom aligns well with Greek tales, a pivotal moment in the Exodus story is when God chooses Moses to be the liberator and guide for the Jewish people. This revelation occurs when Moses, in exile from Egypt, discovers a holy sight in the Sinai desert. God informs him that he has been chosen to lead the Israelites out of Egypt to a new homeland with Aaron's assistance. Although hesitant and unsure, Moses accepts this significant responsibility. In the biblical story, Moses' divine selection to lead mirrored a common trend seen in Greek foundation tales. Typically in these tales, an oracle, usually at the famed Delphi sanctuary dedicated to Apollo, would choose the leader, termed Oikest, for a colonization mission. This Oikest held various roles, expedition head, military leader, spiritual guide, and law enforcer. It was a reoccurring theme for these leaders to be unexpectedly chosen. Guidance for their journey, including specific landmarks and signs to determine settlement areas, often came from the Delphi oracle. On some journeys, a prophet or spiritual guide accompanied the leader, aiding in establishing the new settlement. The biblical account showcases the Israelites as an organized, armed group, constantly prepared for battle as they journeyed from Egypt. Moses was their military strategist, but their triumphs, whether in battle against various tribes or major exodus from Egypt, were attributed to the divine intervention of Yahweh. This description of the Exodus sets the stage for the next phase, the conquest where Joshua takes over Moses' military role. Throughout these narratives, the main emphasis is on the armed men. Women, children, and livestock are seen as under their protection, while the fighters are the focus of accounts and are explicitly numbered. The portrayal of this migration, then, is of an armed group transitioning from one territory to conquer another. This depiction aligns with Greek tales where colonization parties often journeyed as armed contingents. It's at Delphi that Apollo recognized as the god guiding the migrations and settlements was consulted. In the Bible, Mount Sinai serves as the pivotal spot where God communicates with Moses. This return to Sinai in the Exodus narrative is the backdrop for the profound moment where Moses climbs the mountain and receives God's commandments. In Greek tales, the leader often revisits the Delphi oracle for advice on pressing issues. This trip back to the oracle sometimes left the expedition group alone for extended times. Akinda Moses' 40-day stay on the mountain. Moses, as the law-giver, fits seamlessly within the Greek narrative structure. In Greek tales, the weakest typically established laws for the new settlement. Historical accounts and legends often credit ancient law codes to singular, prominent figures such as Lycurgus or Solon, who sometimes were believed to have received these laws directly from deities. Established processes, even allowed for proposed law codes. For those of you just listening, they show the loyal leaves around both of those coins or so on. And Lycurgus, same thing that you see around the United Nations, so you have that whole Club of Rome aspect in there too, which kind of indicates that the Roman Empire is alive and well, just in a different form. It's to be presented at an oracle. Like Delphi, to gain divine approval. While Greek narratives often depict law givers getting divine laws via specific ceremonial methods, the Bible portrays Moses directly meeting God at Sinai amid an awe-inspiring natural display. At Mount Sinai, Moses supervised the creation of a special tent and its items. This tent wasn't just a place of worship, but was believed to be the dwelling place of God. As the Israelites traveled through the wilderness, God was thought to accompany them within this tent. Moses was the main spiritual leader for the Israelites during their journey, much like the Oikest in Greek stories. The Oikest was also a religious leader representing the God Apollo during their colonization missions. Hey, I'm just going to reply to Humboldt painter here. He says that I read that the loyal leaves represented truth. That might be a meeting, a meeting, but when it's wrapped around the entire earth, it looks more like the clamping jaws of a giant fish. It makes me think that what they're saying is that they are encompassing and ruling of all the earth, and that simple being equated to Roman. I think there's something to look at there. When the Greeks ventured into new territories, they believed they were also relocating their gods. A sacred fire symbolized this move, which they used for religious rituals during the journey. Apollo's famous sanctuary Delphi often gave them guidance on where to settle and build their new sanctuaries. In the Bible, before entering their desired land, the Israelites sent scouts to check it out. However, they were disheartened by the challenges they'd face in conquering it. As a result, they spent 40 years wandering, during which the entire soldier generation died. For Israelites, after their 40-year journey, there was a renewed emphasis on the laws, particularly in the book of Deuteronomy. This highlighted how they should live once they settled. All these guidelines were officially approved by the community and were meant to be publicly displayed in their new homeland. Similarly, when Joshua took the people across the Jordan, he quickly set up an altar and inscribed these laws, ensuring they were practiced. Like in the Bible, Greek colonization stories also focused on establishing foundational laws for their new territories. The leader or Oikist, who was similar to Moses, set these laws. The Oikist laid down rules about political, religious, and military structures. Society's class system, land distribution, and citizens' rights. Just as in the biblical narrative, these laws were approved by the community, usually with rituals and oaths. Often these guidelines were inscribed on stone tablets for everyone to see. When the Israelites reached the promised land, they were coming back to the original home of their ancestors, Abraham, Isaac. So they say. So they say. This might be a good time to drop this in quick, because I wanted this to be emphasized. From the book, "Free Strass Beyond Babylon," I quote another book called "The Laughing Jesus," and I'm going to read this quote once again. After the death of Alexander in 325 BC, his general Ptolemae ruled Palestine from Egypt. The next century and a half saw a momentous change in Palestine as Greek technology and customs were introduced into the region. Coinage replaced barter. Agriculture was revolutionized by artificial irrigation, water wheels, the plow, the wine press, and other similar implements that they did not have. They did not have it, okay? They didn't have any of these luxuries, any of these innovations, but they were a great nation. So now Jerusalem really did become a city skilled in many crafts. And that was a quote. As one of the Jewish writers of the time puts it, in this time, in this same period, there was an explosion of Jewish literature after they were taught right in Greek. It is Ryan Seacrest here.

For the first time in the history of this region, we have the beginnings of a high culture capable of creating and sustaining a literate class. For the first time. From the beginning of the second century B.C., Palestine produced many famous philosophers, poets, satirists, and rhetoricians, some of whom even became friends and advisors to influential Roman statesmen such as Pompeii, Brutus, and Cicero. The Jews had finally arrived on the world stage as a sophisticated people. But the first time. But ironically, they had only achieved this through an education that was thoroughly Greek. Almost all the Jewish literature produced in this period is written in Greek. The Jews wrote in Greek and thought in Greek. And when you understand that there's 267,000 different definitions in over 1,700,000 unique words in ancient Greek to their 8,000 in quote unquote ancient Hebrew, you understand why it is meant by they thought in Greek. Because they express themselves in their language, their primary language, which was Greek. So what came first? The Hebrew Bible in Hebrew or was it in Greek first? Uh huh. And this says the Jews wrote in Greek and thought in Greek. And yet the Jews were never Greeks and never could be. No matter how hard they aspired, the Greeks had divided the world into two mutually exclusive categories. But what's terrible about that is the entire basis of the Bible history, history in air quotes here, is dependent on whether or not you believe that they taught the Greeks or that the Greeks taught them. Dick and Jacob. The story reminds us of the return of the Heraclids in Greek tales. In both stories, a divine command encouraged the takeover of the local people. Similarly, the journey of Joshua in conquering part of the promised land matches Greek stories about the founding of new colonies. In both the Bible and Greek tales, the deity presents the land as a gift. The conquering colonizers believe they were not just allowed but obligated to take over. Of course, that's convenient. One more thing here. I'm going to read this part too. This is coming from the priest craft beyond Babylon. But it's a quote from the laughing Jesus once again. This is the Jewish fantasy factory. That's the title of the section. No sooner had the Jews assimilated their Greek education than they began to give a novel, meaning false, account of how they came about it. They had not learned from the Greeks. We just got finished teaching them, right? It was the other way around, of course. In 2020 BC, the Jewish writer Hermitus recorded his opinion that Pythagoras, the first man in the Greek world to be called a philosopher, had actually acquired all his wisdom from the Jews. Aristobulus writing in the middle of the second century BC. Remember these names so when they pop up and you think, well, that sounds Greek and realize that this is who they actually are. It's not a Greek man. We call it supporting the idea that the Jews came first. It's not. It's a Jew with a Greek name proposing that. Aristobulus writing in the middle of the second century added that Plato had borrowed his ideas from Moses. In the first century, Josephus claimed that the wisest of the Greeks including Plato, Pythagoras and Exagoras and the Stoics had learned their conceptions of God from principles with which Moses supplied them. Josephus is a dork too. According to the Jewish writer, you. You pull him this. However, the Greeks even owed their knowledge of the alphabet to Moses. They didn't have a freaking bar part language, but that they did their alphabet from Moses. He had taught it first to the Jews who then taught it to the Phoenicians who in turn taught it to the Greeks. At Japan as another Jewish writer tells us that Moses acquired the name. Moses from the Greeks became the teacher of Orpheus and conferred a whole host of benefits upon mankind, including the invention of ships, mechanisms for stone construction, weaponry, hydraulic engines, implements of warfare, and of course philosophy. In Egypt, Moses's achievements were even more spectacular. He taught hieroglyphics to the Egyptian priests, divided the nation into 36 names assigned to each. A God it was to worship and named Hermes and was named Hermes because of his ability to interpret sacred writings. During the Hellenistic period, there was no end to the Jews delight in rewriting history and playing one-up mischief with the Greeks, Egyptians, and other powerful rivals. Most of the time, the native people and why I say this, it's not to pick on anybody. It's just more fuel for that fire that reminds us that we have been taken over by a deceptive, Taoist, Saturn, cult, and they've taken all the worst elements of the past, which they call pagan too, but they are using them anyway. The rituals, the drugs, the harming of children, all incorporated into something that has been going on since the Canaanite times, which by the way they are, Canaanites. They just repolished themselves, gave themselves a false history, and resold it, repackaged. We're either defeated and enslaved or forced to move. Sometimes the takeover was explained with a moral reason, adding it to the legend. The Oikist or colony leader often became a revered hero due to his military leadership, but starting a colony wasn't always smooth. The newcomers often faced challenges from locals, which sometimes made the Greeks rethink or give up their plans. Just like how the Greeks felt shame for not taking over the lands given by their god Apollo's oracle, the Israelites were also criticized in the book of... Did you see that Tefalin on his head? You can see it right here. I don't know if you can see my point or not, but it's poking through his little hood there. That is a symbol of Saturn with a piece of a torturous girl in it, apparently. Judges for not fully conquering their promised land. The tradition of the Oikist often involved a yearly celebration that remembered the founding of the colony under the Oikist's leadership. One of the most famous such celebrations was the Dorian's Carnea Festival, honoring the establishments of Sparta. I thought I cut this part out, I guess I didn't. Thera and Cyrene. The Carnea was initially a festival that celebrated farming, paying tribute to Karnas, an old ram god. Later this god was associated with Apollo. Apollo Carneos signifies Apollo as the guide of migrations, much like how a ram leads its flock. Its particular aspect of Apollo is credited with guiding the Dorian movement to Sparta and other colonization efforts. The nine-day Carnea Festival had various activities like the sacrifice of a ram and a recreation of a military journey, which includes dances with weapons and parades with miniature ships. National Foundation myths Greeks and Jews. In a discerningly pinned blog post, Neil Godfrey delves into the intriguing parallels between Frixus and Isaac. Such a comparison, he asserts, is indispensable when examining Abraham's narrative. One cannot sidestep the intertwined tales of Isaac or Jacob. Abraham stands as the proverbial patriarch of the Jews, celebrated not only for the inaugural covenant of circumcision, but also for his heart. Yeah, thanks a lot for that there, Amy. Wrenched act of near sacrifice of his beloved son, Isaac. I hear voices in my head telling me to kill my child. I better do it. Let's base three religions on me. Sounds great. Godfrey's insights are underpinned by Philip Wojibom's seminal work, Argonauts of the Desert. Through rigorous contemplation, Godfrey offers an astute interpretation of Wojibom's contentions, showcasing his commendable grasp on the subject matter. Godfrey expresses it this way. A myth must always be analyzed in comparison to its variants within the same cultural area, where contacts between populations are proven. Wojibom is analyzing the Bible narratives as myths, though he concedes they may contain some historical elements, and comparing the accounts with narratives and laws from Greek literature. While ancient near Eastern literature offers many laws similar to those in the Bible, he thinks the Greek literature has not been explored in this context to its full potential, frixes and Isaac under the microscope. Parallelism between the Greek myth of frixes and the binding of Isaac indicates a source derivative relationship. One, Athamos, king of Biosha, married Nephili, a cloud goddess created in the image of Hera by Zeus. Gee, did we get Nephilim from her? I don't know. They don't like women. Two, Athamos and Nephili had twin children, a son, frixes and a daughter, Heli. Three, Athamos afterwards rejected... Dejected Nephili and married Eno. Four, Eno hated her stepchildren, frixes and Heli, so plotted to have them killed by their own father. Five, Eno bribed messengers who told King Athamos that the oracle of Delphi, speaking for the god Apollo, required the sacrifice of frixes on Mount Lefischian in order to end a famine in Biosha. Six, just as Athamos was about to sacrifice his son Frixes, Zeus, or Nephili in other versions, sent a golden winged ram to rescue frixes and Heli by flying away with them. Number seven, Heli fell off, hence the Hell's Pont, Heli's Sea. Number eight, the ram brought frixes safely to Kolkas, Georgia. Number nine, in gratitude, frixes sacrificed to Zeus, the golden ram that saved him, and hung its golden fleece on an oak tree. Number ten, now while it may seem quite inconsequential, probably the most important ingredient of this myth is that it is the prologue of the epic of the Argonauts, who will come to Kolkas years later to bring the famous "golden fleece" back to Greece. We can recognize the resemblance to the binding of Isaac in Genesis 22, to test the faith of Abraham, God orders him to sacrifice his only beloved son on Mount Moriah. Abraham submits to the command and binds his son. At the last moment, God sends an angel and interrupts the sacrifice. Abraham sees a ram stuck in a bush and sacrifices that ram instead of his son, but note the inversion of one small detail. In the Greek version, the ram is killed first, then its fleece is hung in a tree, whereas in the Biblical version, the ram is first stuck in a bush and sacrificed afterwards. This inversion of detail can lead us to wonder whether these stories could both derive from a common source. One could derive from the other, or that the resemblance is only due to coincidence. Therefore, we will pick up this little bit that's left here tomorrow, and then we'll go into other topics that are related, of course. All right, so goodbye everybody.
