Here’s an excerpt:

Although the tiny Orpheos ornament disappeared during World War II from the Berlin Bode Museum, there exist drawings and photographs of both it and a cast of it made in modern times. In 2001, a line drawing of the artifact was pictured on the cover of Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy’s The Jesus Mysteries, which created a bit of a sensation, as apologists scrambled to debunk the object because of its similarities to supposed “Christian” iconography. Very soon, cries of “forgery!” were ringing out on the internet and beyond, and the integrity of the Jesus Mysteries authors was impugned with fury, for exposing the amulet to the light of day. But were such charges of forgery appropriate and based on a thorough scientific investigation?

A Message from D.M. Murdock/Acharya S

Hi folks!

In this ebook, I have put together some very important and special information that sheds a tremendous amount of light on the environment in which Christianity was formulated. Without this fleshing out of the milieu of the place and era, we cannot understand how Christianity came about.

I think you will really enjoy my work here, which breaks it all down into subsections with many illustrations. While my work is scholarly, with many footnotes, I am always aware of the lay reader and attempt to make the information both interesting and accessible.

I can always use the assistance, but if you would like a copy of my latest work, please feel free to obtain one, since you can always cancel your subscription at any time after the initial payment and keep the ebook.

I hope you enjoy my ebook!

Thank you as always for your ongoing support.

D.M. Murdock/Acharya S
