Synopsis

This book, 'Christ and the Taurobolium. Lord Mithras in the
Genesis of Christianity', is a 10,000 year history of the deity Mithras,
who is better known today as Christ.
Twenty thousand years BC the Magdalenian peoples herded reindeer on the
frozen tundra of Southern France. About ten thousand years BC, some of
these peoples migrated eastwards to the Russian Steppe. The Ice Age ended
c. 8000 BC and the tundra turned into vast grasslands and it was in this
era that Mitra/Mithra/Mithras was born. These plains Magdalenians are now
termed proto-Indo-Aryans. A faction of these people migrated to India
taking Mitra with them. Another faction took Mithra over the Caucasus
Mountains into Iran, and both flourished. Some Indo-Aryans invaded
Mesopotamia c. 2000 BC and took Mithra to their capital Babylon. From there
Mithra migrated to Tarsus in Anatolia and he reached Rome in the second
century BC.
In the Middle East, the Hebrews and the Hellenists had struggled for
cultural supremacy since the second century BC and from the second half of
the first century BC both strove for cultural dominion in the Roman
Republic and later the Empire. In the middle of the first century AD, the
clash came to a head and the documents of the New Testament were part of
the literal inter-cultural `battle'. In these documents, both parties
supported a figure who was called the `Saving King' i.e. Jesus Xristos. The
Hebrews' conception of this personage was that he was an actual Messiah of
the Jews who had been executed for insurrection and who would reappear to
lead the Hebrews to world dominion. The Hellenistic conception of this
Saviour was of an Apollonian Saviour identical to Mithras. (The exegesis of
the New Testament reveals the true killer of Jesus Christ).
Mithras in his various guises was the main Roman mediator between man and
God Almighty. Under Constantine this mediator, with the personal genius
(Holy Spirit), became co-equal to God. Constantine promoted this Mithraic
Church. Some time after Constantine's death parts of the religion of
Goddess (mainly the religion of Isis and Cybele) amalgamated with the
Mithraic Church, and Theodosius the Great rebranded this feminised
Mithraism as Christianity. He then outlawed and anathematised all other
religions and, indirectly, he destroyed all the culture of the past
including literature and history. Only God Almighty, Mithrao-Christ, the
Holy Spirit, and the rebranded Goddess, the Virgin Mary, survived.
The hegemony of the `Church' ushered in the `Dark Ages'.

From the Back Cover

Christian information and misinformation create an awesome
forest extending beyond the horizon of the mind's eye. In the forest stand
ancient trees much older than Christianity and a few trees that equal the
age of Christianity. Amongst these trees stand many mutilated trees. Fallen
trees of all ages lie mouldering in various states of decay. Young trees
make a bid for the light. Hints of trees that have disappeared forever, and
fake trees, abound it deceive the unwary. Apart from a few glades of
enlightenment, the forest is dark and entangled. Perhaps it is better not
to enter into its depths to attempt to reach the other side and
understanding. If one wishes happiness one should believe, otherwise one
should search for the truth. This book traces one long path through this
almost impenetrable forest.
