Does anyone know of good books (primary sources preferred) about the Persians, their origins and system of government/beliefs? I'm particularly interested in anything that might cover pre- as well as post-Zoroastrianism Persia.

The only primary source that comes to mind is Herodotus. Any non-pozzed secondary sources (or anything written pre-WWII) would be welcome as well.

It seems like the Fed is in hot water right now so I again recommend the works of Eustace Mullens.

Eustace Mullins has been on my to read list for ages now. Fascinating history he had with the poet Ezra Pound

Which philosopher spoke about freedom's relation to passions/vices and how law is the answer? Was it Kant and if so, can someone recommend a particular book/essay?

Might is Right, by Ragnar Redbeard.

Naturalist, ultimately quite naive bullshit, but interesting, sobering and emotionally maturing to read.

Seems like I can learn something.

Care to elaborate why is it naive?

I'm wondering if anyone has any reading suggestions on Jesus Christ the man? Is there a book or a collection of writings from a perspective on who he was as a person and not who he was as a savior?

I am trying to disprove that he was Alexander, son of Herod and I can't seem to do that.

The books in the bible are all written 300 years after the passing of the historical figure called Jesus Christ, yet there are books about Rome that were made from texts of that time (BC 350'ish) so there has to be texts about Jesus in the time Jesus was alive, right?

When I look at the life of Alexander (pic related) and imagine writing about him 300 years after his passing, I can imagine him having become the historical figure referred to as Jesus for a number of reasons.

(I stated this in another thread)

  1. He was beloved by the people

  2. he completely challenged the Pharisee and about destroyed the religion that is today referred to as Judaism

  3. He had coins stamped with Roman faces so the pharisee could not handle the coins

  4. he had his temple built on a graveyard so the pharisee couldn't enter it and manipulate his teachings or sell coins

  5. he as hanged (by a cord) by his fathers orders (father, why has thou forsaken me?) - the Talmud only makes reference to the historical figure Yeshua (deliverer) being "hanged" not "crucified."

  6. he was said to have risen 3 years after his passing.

  7. His mothers name was Mariam

  8. His stepfather was Joseph

  9. He had close desciples

It goes on. The parallels are uncanny and certainly more than just coincidence. So I'm wondering if there is another historical person that represents Jesus or if maybe history has been twisted to make it so Alexander is really the historical figure?

Here's the lineage:

Herod Antipater - Doris (Herod Antipater II mother)

Herod Antipater II - Mariam of Arimathea (jesus mother from Sepphoris)

Jesus from Galilee/Decapolis (same thing) Includes towns Capernaum and Magdala

Firstly, Tacitus wrote about Christians much sooner than 300+ years AD.

Great leaders tend to be talked about in similar ways.

Christ rose three DAYS after death. There are so many more sources that say crucifixion rather than hanging, I have no clue where you're getting this from.

I don't have any stake in this discussion, I just recalled something concerning the word "day" upon reading your post:

Segment of time that includes the night ( Gen 1:8 ) as in a twenty-four hour day. "Day" also stands in contrast to "night" ( Num 11:32 ; Luke 18:7 ; Rev 7:15 ). The term may refer to an era ( Matt 24:37 ) or to the span of human history ( Gen 8:22 ), or specify a memorable event ( Isa 9:4 ) or a significant time ( Zep 1:14-16 ). The term often has a metaphorical meaning. A "day" is important largely for what fills it rather than for its chronological dimension.
