Re: Indian Influence in so called "Christianity" [Re: duncaningemar] #12886 - 03/03/02 07:21 AM Edit Reply Quote

The Hebrew under Abraham were living in Ur where they took with them the Sumerian story of the flood (Gilgamesh). In the Book Esther, the Hebrew were subjects of the Persian Empire. From the Persian they adopted in this period or maybe even in the more remote past of Mede rule, the ideas of the dual deity: Ahura Mazda (God) and Angra Mainyu (Satan). The Hebrew were so often under foreign rule that it is hard to say what was original theirs. But that the Hebrew were ethnically NOT Arya is an accomplished fact. They are cousins of the Arabs and remoter cousins of the Egyptian. It doesn't mean that the Middle-East was not culturally and commercially linked to India: The Indus Valley Civilization artefacts in Iraq-Iran do proof that Indian people were present in the Middle-East from those days on. And what to think about the Kassite(NW-Iran) and Mitanni Arya Empire(Turkey, N-Irak-N-Iran) in the second millennium before Christ. And also the Hyksos in Egypt. Or the Aryan royal names in Syria in that same millennium. If there are kings, there are also related people, like business men, farmers and ordinary peolple present. In the Shahnameh of Firdausi, some Sassanian Arya King invited a few thousand Indian people to entertain the Persian. Where have they gone? I just want to remark that no country stays isolated, when coming in contact with another.
