Christ Conspiracy_ The Greatest Story Ever Sold - Acharya S [71]
• He had 12 disciples, two of whom were his "witnesses" and were named "Anup" and "Aan" (the two "Johns").
• He performed miracles, exorcised demons and raised El- Azarus ("El-Osiris"), from the dead.
• Horus walked on water.
• His personal epithet was "Iusa," the "ever-becoming son" of "Ptah," the "Father."5 He was thus called "Holy Child."57
• He delivered a "Sermon on the Mount" and his followers recounted the "Sayings of Iusa."5n
• Horus was transfigured on the Mount.
• He was crucified between two thieves, buried for three days in a tomb, and resurrected.
• He was also the "Way, the Truth, the Light," "Messiah," "God's Anointed Son," the "Son of Man," the "Good Shepherd," the "Lamb of God," the "Word made flesh," the "Word of Truth," etc.
• He was "the Fisher" and was associated with the Fish ("Ichthys"), Lamb and Lion.
• He came to fulfill the Law.59
• Horus was called "the KRST," or "Anointed One."60
• Like Jesus, "Horus was supposed to reign one thousand years."61
Furthermore, inscribed about 3,500 years ago on the walls of the Temple at Luxor were images of the Annunciation, Immaculate Conception, Birth and Adoration of Horus, with Thoth announcing to the Virgin Isis that she will conceive Horus; with Kneph, the "Holy Ghost," impregnating the virgin; and with the infant being attended by three kings, or magi, bearing gifts. In addition, in the catacombs at Rome are pictures of the baby Horus being held by the virgin mother Isis-the original "Madonna and Child." As Massey says:
It was the gnostic art that reproduced the Hathor-Meri and Horus of Egypt as the Virgin and child-Christ of Rome . . . You poor idiotai, said the Gnostics [to the early Christians], you have mistaken the mysteries of old for modern history, and accepted literally all that was only meant mystically.62
Moreover, A. Churchward relates another aspect of the Egyptian religion found in Catholicism:
We see in the ancient Catholic churches, over the main altar, an equilateral triangle, and within it an eye. The addition of the eye to the triangle originated in Egypt-"the all seeing eye of Osiris."63
Krishna of India
The similarities between the Christian character and the Indian messiah Krishna number in the hundreds, particularly when the early Christian texts now considered apocryphal are factored in. It should be noted that a common earlier English spelling of Krishna was "Christna," which reveals its relation to "Christ." Also, in Bengali, Krishna is reputedly "Christos," which is the same as the Greek for "Christ" and which the soldiers of Alexander the Great called Krishna. It should be further noted that, as with Jesus, Buddha and Osiris, many people have believed and continue to believe in a historical Krishna. The following is a partial list of the correspondences between Jesus and Krishna:
• Krishna was born of the Virgin Devaki ("Divine One") on December 25th.64
• His earthly father was a carpenter,65 who was off in the city paying tax while Krishna was born.66
• His birth was signaled by a star in the east and attended by angels and shepherds, at which time he was presented with spices.
• The heavenly hosts danced and sang at his birth.67
• He was persecuted by a tyrant who ordered the slaughter of thousands of infants.
• Krishna was anointed on the head with oil by a woman whom he healed.68
0 He is depicted as having his foot on the head of a serpent.
• He worked miracles and wonders, raising the dead and healing lepers, the deaf and the blind.
• Krishna used parables to teach the people about charity and love, and he "lived poor and he loved the poor."69
• He castigated the clergy, charging them with "ambition and hypocrisy. . . Tradition says he fell victim to their vengeance. "70
• Krishna's "beloved disciple" was Arjuna or Ar-jouan (John).
• He was transfigured in front of his disciples.
• He gave his disciples the ability to work miracles.7'
• His path was "strewn with branches."72
• In some
