Was it not possible, scholars at the Congress asked, that the Roman cult of Mithras was actually a new religion, and had simply borrowed the name of an Iranian god in order to give itself an exotic oriental flavor?

Sounds like the marketing of New Age religions in our own time!

Many fascinating points in this article, and beautiful illustrations.

My eyes glazed over despite a valiant effort.
Thanks for posting, anyway. ;)
