I'm not sure if I buy into the existence of the Sumerian pantheon. I think that if there was/were all powerful God(s) they wouldn't let their religion become lost. Much of Genesis matches up with Sumerian mythology including the longevity of ancient humans in the Biblical geneologies and Sumerian King's list. Shem was still alive in the time of Abraham and so were the Nephilim such as Gilgamesh (who is named as a Nephilim in the Book of Giants in the Dead Sea Scrolls and is also a giant in Sumerian legend), Og, and possibly Nimrod, so basically it was the word of the Nephilim vs. the Patriarchs. Anyways, if there is a God, and I believe there is; only the gods of existing religions would be candidates.

oh i don't think abraham was following akhenaten religion. i think he was an enlil-enki-anu follower, like his fathers before him. i only mentioned abraham's data opening the thing up because i think it proves just how close the two cultures interacted, and that there's a reason for this, as it is inevitably interconnected. i believe the seraphim were a special group of egyptian-esque guardians, not from this planet, although they may have been the original occupants of the earth, prior to the creation of the atum clones.
the story goes like this: prior to the flood narrative, Enlil had a huge temple city in what is known today as jerusalem and another huge temple in the sinai peninsula (in particular, mt. sinai. the temples were ziggurats and pyramid type structures, or structures associated with pyramids. these were called holy mountains). the habiru/hibiru/hyskos shepherd kings, being his temple builders, when they made their exodus from egypt, were sent to rebuild Enlil's temple city in jerusalem, which they did. That's an extremely hot spot.
Enlil is hard core. Consider the 40 years wandering in the desert. That's an Enlil reaction without an Enki solution.

We can discuss your prejudices of Christianity in another thread. This thread is about Zeitgeist, which as far as I can see, has been pretty much debunked. There are better ways to argue against Christianity than to lie about it.
1.Krishna wasn't crucified (point against zeitgeist)
2. Krishna was not born of a virgin (another point)
3. Horus was not born of a virgin, was not resurrected, was not called the way, the truth, or the life, and didn't have twelve apostles (6 points)
4. The zodiac was established long after the establishment of the twelve tribes of Israel (another point)
5. Dionysus wasn't crucified (2 points because they used a forgery for this claim)
6. Dionysus was not born of a virgin (another point)
7. The Dionysus resurrection myth post-dates Christianity (2 points for coming to the opposite conclusion)
Shall I continue, or do you actually plan on watching the videos?
Again kallisti36, all you've demonstrated throughout this thread & including the OP is that you have absolutely no intention of being honest. You posted the OP with an agenda to 'poison the well.' Your criticisms of Zeitgeist part 1 have been addressed repeatedly but, you just ignore that fact. Then, you turn around and repeat the same false claims that have already been debunked, such as those above.
Keith and his videos have been addressed here
Keith "Truth" is a useful idiot
www.freethoughtnation.com...
Many other criticisms have also been addressed
www.freethoughtnation.com...
The fact remains that you have never read one single book by Acharya S. You haven't read The New Zeitgeist Part 1 Sourcebook (2010) either.
www.stellarhousepublishing.com...
It is impossible to have a rational, reasonable or objective conversation with you on these issues because you simply have no intention of having a real or objective conversation on the facts and evidence. You have not read any of the links or viewed the videos I've provided throughout this thread because you are not interested in the facts or evidence. You are only interested in your anti-Zeitgeist anti-Acharya rants. And, it appears that anything is acceptable to you so long as it's anti-Zeitgeist and anti-Acharya.
Here's an example of an intelligent, sincere and honest person trying to have a decent conversation regarding Zeitgeist part 1:
In Defence of Zeitgeist Part One & Acharya S: Saviour Deities: the Sons of God
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Maybe you could learn how to do that from him?
Here's a thread exposing that KingDavid8 website. He has an entire website posting the same dishonest crap that you spew here. He also has never read a single book by Acharya:
Jesus, Horus and KingDavid8
freethoughtnation.com...
I've wasted enough time here already. So, I hope that others here will continue to hold you accountable. The dishonest tactics at work here are utterly disgusting and unacceptable.

Here's a video clip of modern Egyptologist Dr. Bojana Mojsov admitting parallels between Osiris &/or Horus with Jesus. And, at 5:30 you'll see a stone carving of Isis as she hovers over Osiris in the form of a bird to receive the divine seed (notice there's no 'member') of Osiris. Mojsov then says, "It's a miraculous birth of the savior child."

instead of posting videos wouldent it be better for the OP to write what the debunked facts are
with references to scholar material and facts ,
LOL Why should the OP write out what you can watch on the video? Isn't a video enough spoon feeding for you already?
And honestly, this had nothing to do with being a Christian, or not. It has to do with facts. Which Zeitgeist has very little of. In fact most of the real fascts you find in Zeitgeist is when they run the credits.
This video series is so stuffed with FACT(s), not fiction, and not just 'spoken' fact, but fact that can be backed up with references (unlike Zeitgeist) - it's refreshing to get to the truth.
Applause to the OP.

His website is still online, you can read the review of his book in English
at this address: www.luigicascioli.eu... The wikipedia page you will find further information about him, in various languages, Italian, German, French, etc.. but not in English, and I hope someone can make a translation in English it.wikipedia.org... . Thanks
I am Italian and translate with the English translator of google. I hope you understand!
In Italia, Luigi Cascioli, grande esperto di Bibbia e cristianologia ha dimostrato in maniera inconfutabile, in maniera scientifica che Gesu' Cristo non è mai esistito; non c'e' nessuna prova della sua esistenza; una, che sia una!

Il suo sito è ancora in linea; potete leggere la recensione al suo libro in inglese
a questo indirizzo: www.luigicascioli.eu... Nella pagina di wikipedia trovate altre informazioni su di lui, in varie lingue, italiano, tedesco, francese, etc., ma non in inglese; spero qualcuno possa fare una traduzione in inglse it.wikipedia.org... Grazie

Zeitgeist Part One Exposed: The Film voiceofreason467 (from the info box):
"This is a film by Keith Thompson (aka KeithTruth on YouTube) which purports to debunk Zeitgeist: The Movie | Part One: The Greatest Story Ever Told. He draws upon many of sources in the film itself.
Note from the uploader: I do not in anyway whatsoever endorse this film, I am only mirroring it because KeithTruth is a censorhappy person and any comments critical of the film tend to either get flagged or removed. I am only uploading it because I want to hear what a critical community has to say on the subject."
"Its the other specific facts that are being stretched like the Dec. 25th thing and the crucifixion. "
"Osiris, the Egyptian Saviour, was crucified in the heavens. To the Egyptian the cross was the symbol of immortality, an emblem of the Sun, and the god himself was crucified to the tree, which denoted his fructifying power."
"Horus was also crucified in the heavens. He was represented, like...Christ Jesus, with outstretched arms in the vault of heaven."
- Thomas W. Doane
"I find it undeniable that many of the epic heroes and ancient patriarchs and matriarchs of the Old Testament were personified stars, planets, and constellations."
"Osiris is doubly resurrected as his son Horus, too, and he, too, is eventually raised from the dead by Isis. He is pictured as spanning the dome of heaven, his arms stretched out in a cruciform pattern. As such, he seems to represent the common Platonic astronomical symbol of the sun s path crossing the earths ecliptic...."
"I find myself in full agreement with Acharya S/D.M. Murdock"
- Dr. Robert Price, Biblical Scholar
www.robertmprice.mindvendor.com...
"Your scholarship is relentless! The research conducted by D.M. Murdock concerning the myth of Jesus Christ is certainly both valuable and worthy of consideration."
- Dr. Kenneth L. Feder, Professor of Archaeology

"The Pyramid Texts speak of "the great virgin" (Hwn.t wr.t) three times (682c, 728a, 2002a, cf. 809c)" ...
"In a text in the Abydos Temple of Seti I, Isis herself declares: "I am the great virgin"
"The Egyptian goddess who was equally ‘the Great Virgin’ (hwnt) and ‘Mother of the God’ was the object of the very same praise bestowed upon her successor [Mary, Virgin Mother of Jesus]."
- Dr. Witt, an Egyptologist
- Christ in Egypt, page 152
