Christ Conspiracy_ The Greatest Story Ever Sold - Acharya S [60]
Furthermore, a representation of the Jewish "Feast of the giving of the law" has an image of an erupting volcano-Mt. Sinai-with the two tablets of the Ten Commandments above it. As Jordan Maxwell points out, the benediction or blessing sign of the Feast is the same as the split-fingered, "live long and prosper" salutation of the Vulcan character Spock on "Star Trek." Vulcan, of course, is the same word as volcano, and the Roman god Vulcan was also a lightning and volcano god. In volcano cults, the thunderous noise coming from the mountain is considered the "voice of God," the same voice that "spoke" to Moses in the myth.
Indeed, if Yahweh were not a volcano god, his violent and angry persona would be doubly repulsive. As Taylor relates:
Sometimes he is described as roaring like a lion, at others as hissing like a snake, as burning with rage, and unable to restrain his own passions, as kicking, smiting, cursing, swearing, smelling, vomiting, repenting, being grieved at his heart, his fury coming up in his face, his nostrils smoking, etc.25
As stated, Yahweh the volcano god made his entrance at the same time as Moses and Aaron, brothers and "sons of Levi." Moses and Aaron were in reality only made to appear to be Levites, a tribe that, it is posited, were actually "Indo-Europeans invaders" who took over the desert tribes and forced a centralized religion on them in order to gain power and wealth. These zealots, however, need not have been "invaders" as such, since Indo- European/Aryans already dwelled among the Semites. Although the "house of Levi" is purported to descend from the "sons of Shem," i.e., to be Semites, it appears that at least some of the Levites may have been "sons of Japheth," known as Assyrians, Persians, Babylonians and assorted other "Chittim," "Kittim" or "Kittaeans," a generic Jewish term for Aryans. Both of these groups, Semites and Aryans, are claimed in the Bible to have been "sons of Noah" who were to "share the same tent" and to enslave the descendants of Noah's third son, the Hamites; thus, at some point their distinction could not have been very pronounced. In fact, the Aryans and Semites are more intermingled than suspected, as some of the "sons of Japheth" became Ashkenazi, or "European Jews," as stated at Genesis 10:2-3. Indeed, the distinction was made long afterwards, when the Yahwists were compiling their books and attempting to promote themselves as strict segregationists. Furthermore, these Yahweh zealots incorporated Egyptian mythology, such that they were "Indo-Aryan-Egyptians," precisely the mix found in the Levant. Wherever they were from, the Levites certainly represented a break from the old, polytheistic Semitic/Hebrew tribes.
This break is thus reflected in the story of Moses, where the Hebrews are portrayed as having a difficult time turning from their ancient worship of the Egyptian god Horus as the golden calf, son of the Egyptian mother goddess, Hathor, who was represented as a cow. As Walker states:
Egypt revered Mother Hathor as the heavenly cow whose udder produced the Milky Way, whose body was the firmament, and who daily gave birth to the sun, Horus-Ra, her Golden Calf, the same deity worshipped by Aaron and the Israelites: "These be thy gods, 0 Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt" (Exodus 32:4.26
Even though Yahweh was also identified with the sun, the Golden Calf was so horrifying to the Judean Levites that they wrote diatribes against its worship, such as the book of Hosea, whose author rails against the Baals and the "calf of Samaria," the nation also called Israel, as well as Ephraim, after the "son of Joseph." Moses's Levitical/Yahwist law, however, evidently didn't stick, as even the exalted Hebrew patriarch Solomon set up for his foreign wives altars to the Moabite
