Well... if you follow the beliefs of that page, you'll end up knowing very little about the Christian religion you profess... or anything else.
A few striking blunders:
The "Passover" is the Sun passing over into the Winter Solstice from the Fall Equinox. This too was borrowed from the Hebrews who borrowed it from
the Egyptians
A neat trick, considering that "passover" meant the angel of death passing over the Hebrew children while killing the Egyptian ones (it says so
clearly in the Bible) and that Passover is celebrated during the
spring.
And then there's:
As a matter of fact,
the "Pyramid" in Egypt, was a representation of the "Volcano". "PYRA" meaning "Fire". The Volcano God's name was "Volcanus". He was
pictured to be at the center of the volcano hammering metal like a metalsmith. The sparks from the hammer smashing the metal are pictured as
lightning. The sound is hundering.
The image is Thor and the hammer with lightning bolts.
...where the author manages to completely mix up several civilizations and serve them up in a theological soup, regardless of what the original people
beleived. (The volcano god was Vulcan, not "volcanus." The sparks aren't lightning (he's forging thunderbolts and lightning for Zeus and he
doesn't have the power to throw them. Thor isn't associated with volcanos.
The author also conveniently ignores the cultural stages in the development of the pyramid which show it clearly isn't designed to emulate a volcano.
The original tomb became a masaba (bench) which led to layered formations in a triangular shape, which led to step pyramids which led to pyramids.
If they'd meant 'volcano', you'd have had a nice round cone-shape from the get-go.
And the association of "Pyramid" with "Pyrus" is (sorry to be so blunt) just plain ignorant. The original was an Egyptian word; pyramid is
derived from the Latin word 'pyramis' which describes the pyramidal figure. It refers to an older Greek word that described the shape (note: they
have different words for 'volcano-shaped') and that refers to a still older Egyptian word "pimar")
His ultimate conclusion (and he was kicked off the team for his opinions) was that Jesus was a Mushroom consumed by the Essenes and covered up to keep
the
Roman authorities in the dark about the fertility cult of the Essenes.
Much as I love the concept that Jesus was a mushroom (and kept in the dark and fed on ... waste products), I'm afraid the author of this page has
been smoking WAY too many banana peels... and not doing their homework.
Particularly "not doing their homework."
