I always thought some roads lead away from Babylon.
Straight to Rome.
The merchants found a home in Rome !

Wow, I just read this thread for the first time (the posts on the 1st page) and my mind is blown. Absolutely blown. Kaboom.
Thank you so much for sharing that. I have so many questions but I fear they might be answered in the 200+!! pages in this thread. It's really amazing because I'm Christian so it definitely makes me think long and hard about things.
Well, in case it hasn't been answered. Do we have any idea what the original religions taught? Like, what did the original Christians truly believe? We know they worshiped a/the figure called "Christ" but that seems to be where it ends. and what of the Jews? And obviously there were other religions too since Troy, Athens & Sparta all seemed to pay homage to the same Gods. I just wonder how many religions existed and what did they all actually believe?
Perplexed.

Right because Rome predated Sumeria by what? Negative 4000 years?

That's semantics: a road goes both ways so if it leads away , it leads to as well...

All cultures derive from Sumeria therefore it doesn't matter which one controls the world, they are all of the same origin anyways.
You are ignoring the evolution and origin of culture, language, government, religion, etc.
Rome is just a step on the ladder of that evolution.
A simplistic and basic example of the evolution works like this (I am skipping many steps in the ladder mind you for the sake of brevity) :
Sumeria ----> Greek ----> Rome ----> Britain / Spain / Dutch / Germany / Portugal / France / Italy ----> American
That is a generalization of the steps from origin to present day. Rome is in the middle of the ladder.edit on 4-1-2012 by muzzleflash because: (no reason given)

I myself also have my doubts that Caesar resurected at the 22nd of march. I think it is another myth created by rome/TPTB/iluminati/whatever, to put more romantique and dramatization to the symbolism.
The cult is heavily centralized on the symbolism of REBIRTH/RESURECTION, as far as i am capable to understand. IMHO the resurection of christ wasnt meant to symbolize thus caesar's. But could take roots even futher before the time of Rome. Maybe caesar was never resurected at all. Maybe Brutus did his job! Or maybe the whole assasination story was fabricated from the begining, and never took place, ever? What do i know?
Rebirth might be their very way to remain fresh and rejuvenated, from the dusk of civilizaton until today. This might explain the source of their determination to dominate and enslave the rest of the world? Maybe the most sacral concept of their object of worship?
