[QUOTE="Aron-Ra, post: 10924479, member: 76277"] Nope. The majority of those listed above come from the Avesta, not the later Roman religion. Couldn't find even one, huh? Alright, then the historical and EDU sites I've already listed will stand uncontested. I still think "all" applies. But I suppose I should have said 'most' just to be polite. This looks like more of the same topic to me. I guess he didn't live up to his own prophesy then. Not quite. We're not just talking about Mithras here. The whole point was that Jesus was not an original concept because the events in his life had already been told in older fables dedicated to other gods. Oddly enough, the only old legend we listed that didn't have any such clear and previous parallels were the prophesies you said did. Me too. I would have this other discussion with you, but mere mythology doesn't interest me if there's no way to bring science into it, (and thus be able to show who is right or wrong) and I don't want to have to move this discussion to another board due its lack of relevant substance to this one. Is there some other word for it? I thought I told you everything you needed to know about this series, and apologized that I couldn't find the link to the other one anymore. But I didn't realize that you couldn't trace the URL back to the right site, because I pulled the image from the wrong one. You can see the whole series here: [url="http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/rh/"]Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry [/url] What are our choices? DeBerry did a calendar series of these, in Medival Europe, in which this figure presides over the universe in every panel. Anno Domini.
