Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth

Genesis 1:11-16 contradicts astrophysics. Luke 3:23-38 and Matthew 1:2-17 contradict Australopithecus afarensis and Neanderthals. Lilith was Adam’s first wife, not Eve. Lilith (Genesis 1:27, Isaiah 34:13-14, Dead Sea scrolls 4Q510-511, Zohar, Sirach) was created at the same time as Adam, not later from Adam’s rib, like Eve (Genesis 2:19-22).

Among the advocates of the non-historicity of Jesus, John M. Robertson and L. Gordon Rylands are widely known (pg. 26). Jackson’s interpretation of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is much more accurate than that of Hal Lindsey’s jabberwocky (pgs. 30-31). The trial of the soul before Osiris in the Hall of Judgement is described in detail in the “Book of the Dead”. According to the Hindus, Krishna will occupy the judgement seat on the last day (pg. 35). Quetzalcoatl was born of a virgin (pg. 22).

Sir E.A. Wallis Budge, Bruno Bauer, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Antonio Gramsci, Jack London, Mark Twain, Harvey Spencer Lewis, Abraham Lincoln, and A.E. Waite would have enjoyed Jackson’s booklet. David Rohl’s “A Test of Time” is fantasy literature that tries to masquerade as non-fiction.
