"What profit has not that fable of Christ brought us!" --Pope Leo X (As attributed by John Bale, Bishop of
Ossory, in The Pageant of Popes, p. 179, 1574)
Shocking as it may seem to the general populace, the most enduring and profound controversy in the
subject of Christianity is whether or not a person named Jesus Christ ever really existed!
"Jesus is a mythical figure in the tradition of pagan mythology and almost nothing in all of ancient literature
would lead one to believe otherwise. Anyone wanting to believe Jesus lived and walked as a real live human
being must do so despite the evidence, not because of it."
--C. Dennis McKinsey, The Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy
"There is not a conception associated with Christ that is not common to some or all of the Savior cults of
antiquity."
--JM Robertson, Pagan Christs
"The gospel story is an artificial, non-historical work. It has been fabricated from source materials that can
be identified and traced to their incorporation into the gospels. There is not a particle of hard evidence that
'Jesus of Nazareth' ever existed.
--Harold Leidner, The Fabrication of the Christ Myth
What do these people know that the Church isn't telling you?
"Prayers offered up in Christian worship in the earliest days of the faith were addressed to 'Our Lord the
Sun,' evidencing that 'primitive' Christians were quite in the spirit of Pagan forms and ideologies."
--Alvin Boyd Kuhn, Easter: The Birthday of the Gods
"The Christian religion and Masonry have one and the same common origin:
Both are derived from the worship of the Sun. The difference between their origin is, that the Christian
religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of
the Sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun." --Thomas Paine, Age of
Reason
"The Sun has attracted the attention of mankind for adoration all over the world from the very
beginning of human history. It has attained the position of pre-eminence among the deities of nature in ancient
times. The prominence and glory of the solar orb, its beauty and splendour, its importance in the creation and
maintenance of life, its regularity in diffusing light and enlightening the whole earth, its primal role in the
cosmic evolution and consequent mystery surrounding it, had secured for the Sun a history of interest and
importance equalled by none to which every age and every race has contributed its pages." --V.C. Srivastava,
Sun-Worship in Ancient India
Could it be that Jesus Christ is another mythical god in the long line of other
mythical gods, like Hercules and Zeus?
Introducing The Christ Conspiracy
Contrary to popular belief, there was no single man at the genesis of Christianity but many
characters rolled into one, the majority of whom were personifications of the ubiquitous solar myth, whose exploits
were well known, as reflected by such popular deities as Mithra, Heracles/Hercules, Dionysus and many others
throughout the Roman Empire and beyond.
The story of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels is revealed to be nearly identical in certain
details to that of the earlier savior-gods Krishna and Horus, et al., who for millennia preceding Christianity held great favor with the people in
much the same way as Jesus does today.
Thus, the Jesus character is not unique or original, not "divine revelation." These redeemer
tales are similar not because they reflect the actual exploits of a variety of men who did and said the identical
things, but because they are representations of the same extremely ancient body of knowledge that revolved around
the celestial bodies and natural forces. The result of this mythmaking has been The Christ Conspiracy: The
Greatest Story Ever Sold.
In this highly controversial and explosive book, independent scholar of comparative religion and
mythology, historian and linguist D.M. Murdock, aka "Acharya S," marshals an enormous amount of startling
evidence to demonstrate that Christianity and the story of Jesus Christ were created by members of various secret
societies, mystery schools and religions in order to unify the Roman Empire under one state religion. In
making such a fabrication, this multinational cabal drew upon a multitude of myths and rituals that already existed
long before the Christian era, and reworked them for centuries into the story and religion passed down today.
While accessible to the reader, this book is scholarly, containing hundreds of quotes
and 1200 footnotes in over 400 pages.
From the very beginning of our quest to unravel the Christ conspiracy, we encounter suspicious
territory, as we look back in time and discover that the real foundation of Christianity appears nothing like the
image provided by the clergy and mainstream authorities. Indeed, far more rosy and cheerful than the reality is the
picture painted by the vested interests as to the origins of the Christian religion: To wit, a miracle-making
founder and pious, inspired apostles who faithfully and infallibly recorded his words and deeds shortly after his
advent, and then went about promulgating the faith with great gusto and success in "saving souls." Contrary to this
popular delusion, the reality is that, in addition to the enormous amount of bloodshed which accompanies its
foundation, Christianity's history is rife with forgery and fraud. So rampant is this treachery and chicanery that
any serious researcher must immediately begin to wonder about the story itself. In truth, the Christian tale has
always been as difficult to swallow as the myths and fables of other cultures; yet countless people have been able
to overlook the rational mind and to willingly believe it, even though they may equally as easily dismiss the
nearly identical stories of these other cultures....
We have seen that there is no evidence for the historicity of the Christian founder, that the earliest Christian
proponents were as a whole either utterly credulous or astoundingly deceitful, and that said "defenders of the
faith" were compelled under incessant charges of fraud to admit that Christianity was a rehash of older
religions. It has also been demonstrated that the world into which Christianity was born was filled with
assorted gods and goddesses, as opposed to a monotheistic vacuum. In fact, in their fabulous exploits and
wondrous powers many of these gods and goddesses are virtually the same as the Christ character, as attested to
by the Christian apologists themselves. In further inspecting this issue we discover that "Jesus Christ" is in
fact a compilation of these various gods, who were worshipped and whose dramas were regularly played out by
ancient people long before the Christian era....
Horus of Egypt
"Egypt, the primeval seat of learning, was the high seat of Sun adoration. The Sphinx, with the
face to the east, represents Harmmachus, young Horus, or the rising Sun. The orb is Osiris, the ruling god of day.
In its descent it is the dying deity, going below to the land of Shades; but only to be resurrected as the
victorious Horus, piercing the head of the dragon of darkness." --James Bonwick, Irish Druids & Old Irish
Religions
The Egyptian sun god Horus (or one of the gods to whom he has been assilimated, such as
Osiris or Ra) predated the Christ character by thousands of years and shares the following in common
with Jesus:
Horus was born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December
25th in a cave/manger with his birth being announced by a star in the East and
attended by three "wise men."
His earthly father was named "Seb" ("Joseph"). Seb is also known as "Geb": "As Horus the Elder
he...was believed to be the son of Geb and Nut." --Lewis Spence, Ancient Egyptian Myths and
Legends, 84.
He was of royal descent.
At age 12, he was a child teacher in the Temple, and at 30, he was baptized, having disappeared for
18 years.
Horus was baptized in the river Eridanus or Iarutana (Jordan) by "Anup the Baptizer" ("John the Baptist"), who was decapitated.
He had 12 followers and/or fellow gods, 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.
The Egyptian god walked on water.
His personal epithet was "Iusa," the "ever-becoming son" of "Ptah," the "Father." He was thus
called "Holy Child."
Horus was transfigured on the Mount.
The Egyptian god/Osiris was killed, buried for three days in a tomb, and resurrected.
Horus, Osiris and/or Ra were called 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.
The Egyptian god was "the Fisher" and was associated with the Fish ("Ichthys"), Lamb and Lion.
He came to fulfill the Law.
The Egyptian god/Osiris was called "the KRST," or "Anointed One."
Like Jesus, "Horus was supposed to reign one thousand years."
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 the
pharaoh Amenhotep (Horus), with Thoth announcing to the queen that she will conceive; with the god Amun
impregnating the queen; and with the infant being attended by "kings" 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."
Why is the story of Horus/Osiris the KRST so similar to that of Jesus the
Christ?
