Christ Conspiracy_ The Greatest Story Ever Sold - Acharya S [233]
As can be seen, in our quest to establish the provenance of the mythos and ritual that became Christianity, we are at an impasse in choosing between Egypt and India.
Sumeria
In fact, as noted, the current paradigm favors Sumeria as the birthplace of human culture. While that may not be so, Sumeria has an important place in the debate, in that it serves as a crossroads between the cultures of Egypt and India. Like Egypt, Sumer had the god "Anu," and, as Stone says, the "inference that there was some contact between Egypt and Sumer at the time is confirmed by the presence of Jemdet Nasr type seals." '6 Stone also notes that the tombs of Egypt's 1st Dynasty were influenced by Mesopotamia, based upon brick-building evidence and other artifacts, and that a fish trap depicted in Egyptian tombs is identical to that used by northern Europeans, evidently the same race as the early Sumerians, who, it is claimed, consisted of the infamous "Aryan invaders." Of the Aryan/Iranian invaders, Larson says:
These Iranians did more than drive the Semitic races into permanent eclipse: themselves descended from older Sumerians, they were the pre-historic conquerors of Egypt and India as well as the progenitors of the Greeks, the Romans, and the Teutons: in short, they have ruled most of the civilized world for two and a half millenniums.17
These Aryans were evidently the "Shemsu Hor" or "people of Hor" who invaded Egypt and apparently became the Horites, i.e., the Mitanni. As Stone relates:
From the twentieth to the sixteenth centuries BC, the archaeology of Canaan shows continual nomadic disruption. This is generally attributed to local nomadic warfare. But as Professor Albright, who describes the entrance of the Indo-Europeans into Canaan as a "migratory movement," tells us, "by the fifteenth century Indo-Aryan and Horite princes and nobles were established almost everywhere." 18
As noted, the Hebrews/ Israelites were a mixture of different peoples, as confirmed by "Ezekiel," who said of them, "your father is an Amorite, your mother a Hittite," which is to say an Aryan. Thus, the Israelites were a combination of "sons of Japheth" (Indo-European/Aryan) and "sons of Shem" (Semitic), as well as "sons of Ham" (Canaanite/African/Cushite). Indeed, as also noted, it is posited that the Levitical priesthood was Indo- European/Aryan, or Japhethite. In addition to their fiery mountain god and other factors, the Levitical marriage customs are similar to those of Indo-European peoples." In other words, the Semitic desert peoples were Egyptians, Canaanites and others gathered under the direction of the priestly Levites, who were apparently in large part Indo-European/Aryans, some of whom were from Sumeria.
The Abramite Migration
Another inhabitant of the crossroads of Sumeria was purported to be the biblical "patriarch" Abraham, whose story in fact reflects the merger of the Aryan/Egyptian cultures. As demonstrated, the Abraham myth is paralleled in India, such that the "Ur of the Chaldees" apparently represents not the Sumerian city but an "Ur of the Culdees" in India, and the story of Abraham's migration to Harran reflects the movement of an Aryan Brahmanical tribe into the Levant. The Abraham myth evidently represents the fanatic patriarchal followers of Brahma leaving India during a war over gender brought about by the change of the equinoctial ages, i.e., that from Taurus to Aries. This Brahmanic tribe ostensibly migrated from the Indian region of Oudh (Judea), possibly from the village of Maturea, westward through Persia, ending up in Goshen, "the house of the sun," i.e., Heliopolis in Egypt, where it established a place named Maturea/Mathura. As the tribe migrated from India, it named various landmarks wherever it settled by the same or similar name as those of its homeland. The Abramites or Brahmans later moved back into Canaan from Egypt to create their own nation, dividing the land and extant peoples into the 12 zodiacal sections under "Jacob," or Seth the Supplanter, and his "sons," who were in reality tribal gods.
