	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks Renfield! AFAIK, the Sarmatians brought the worship of Mithras into the Roman Empire, via their role as auxiliaries (cavalry) in the Roman army.

Very interesting. Thanks.

Why were the Romans, so opposed to Christianity, so tolerant of Mithracism, which was from the arch-enemy Parthia?

[Little Bill]

Didn't they find a Mithraea in England a while back?

Seeing how bull and sun worship were prevalent in the locale for a longish time, this seems like a new twist on the same old thing. Not being critical, just sayin’. I think it is interesting. I kinda dig Zoroaster myself. No bull.
