I wanted to express my gratitude for your incredible effort in creating this video. As a Persian deeply passionate about the Shahnameh and its timeless epic tales, your work resonated with me on a very personal level. The legendary characters of Shahnameh-like Isfandiar, Zahhak, and, of course, the unforgettable Rostam and Sohrab-hold a special place in my heart. Your presentation brought them to life in such a captivating and meaningful way, and I truly appreciate the dedication you’ve shown in celebrating this masterpiece of Persian literature. Thank you once again for your amazing contribution to preserving and sharing the beauty of our cultural heritage. I look forward to seeing more of your creations! Reza

There is only one truth yahuah yahusha, remember all nations known of the prophecies of yahusha, but when he was here they doubted him, and turned to there own way of understanding but things are being revealed Hal Alu yahuah yahusha we know who we are for salvation is of the yahudam ba ha sham yahusha

I’m reading Samuel butler’s translation and this is my first time reading any form of the Iliad. I’m like halfway through book 3 and I love it

Carnuntum does not lie in modern day Hungary, but it once was the capital of the roman province Upper Pannonia, which includet areas that now lie in modern day Hungary.

@allandidonato Thank you for this magnificent channel and playlist. Is there some additional material with this; like additional slides to download or readings or similar?

Are these lecture for academic learning purpose only?

Have some respect from the Persian culture you guys clearly gained knowledge from you can argue semantics, but the overall story is the story of Mithras 💯🇺🇸

I think the most impressive out of all the translations is Alexander Pope's translation, which is for my personal experience is a work in itself. Preserving the rhythmic tone with a tantalising variety of words.

It’s quite strange for how well read you are, your Islamic knowledge is quite shallow. You had a couple videos and it seems like you took well to an English translation, but you missed a couple key ideas: 1) You didn’t establish that the Qur’an isn’t from God 2) You didn’t investigate the prophetic miracles, nor the linguistic ones 3) Did you miss the challenge of the Qur’an? If it isn’t from God, why hasn’t anyone written a chapter like it? It seems like everything you’ve done in life thus far is basically living in ignorance of this reality. Isn’t English simply a creole of European languages? Why did you miss the richness of the Arabic language?

This is the great explanation Allan, i would like to know the steps involved in this kind of integrations with Brightspace. We are basically a plagiarism service providers and looking for the similar integration with brightspace.

Why did you make such an effort to defend Christianity if it is so right. The animals are all from the zodiac callender. The 4 gospels are the four fixed signs.

A new genetic study (again) supports a very high influx of a Persian (neolithic Iranian) genetic component, just prior to the establishment Imperial Rome. .....www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.10.07.617003v1.full.pdf

Hi professor. I’m self teaching myself this class and I had made flashcards from the videos. Some of your videos do not have transcript in this playlist. Is it possible you can add the transcript on? I am not sure why some videos do not have transcript.

There are many pieces of information to prove Jesus is a copy of Mithra: 1- Who would take sheep out in December as mentioned in a Bible?! Made up stories. 2- Mitre and Tiar (names for Bishop hats) are actually pure Iranian names. 3- Sunday has been called the day of Sun for two thousand years in Iran before Roman empire started to use it and of course later they denied and banned it. After all Mithra has been the God of Sun or light for four thousand years now. 4- December 21 is actually an important day of the year in the northern hemisphere and it's still celebrated in Iran seriously because after that the Sun was believed to be born or something (important for agriculture). You can watch this video for further evidence. The video can easily be translated since the professor talks clearly and slowly: ua-cam.com/video/efPXL1k3N78/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

Exactly what I’ve looking for!!

Best time to finish school is right now. Before those Ai systems catch up haha.

Really insightful content, truly underrated ! Thank you.

New student

Love mythology. Thank you ! 11/16//24

There’s no such thing as equality no two people are built alike. I want to play for the Lakers, but that’s not gonna happen because of age height, skills environment on and on and on. I’d like to be equal to a Rockefeller and have trillions, but that’s not gonna happen

This is a nice review for me and leading up to Ethics. Which I haven't covered.

False. Actually study the small material we have of Mithraism, the alledged "similarities" with Jesus just aren't there. Mithra was NOT born of a virgin, did NOT have 12 disciples, etc. Like the other claims of Jesus having similarities with different gods/ goddesses, this one too is easily debunked.

Hi, I've been going through this series and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I was wondering other topics are left that have not been covered in this series yet. Are you planning to add those in soon? If not, can you refer to a good source for those? Thank you!

Receive much blessings from Kenya sir

Thank You for the lecture series. can we say the unconscious is identical to subconscious ? Im asking this becouse i am bit puzzled relating the conscious and unconscious with the What and How issues. One other question i have regarding bias is how do we identify biasness in a scholarly study ? in my opinion I guess one can identify biasness in research questions right ? where else can we spot such issues ?

Mitra is the Hindu god of friendship, harmony, integrity, and order among humans. He appears in the pantheon of gods from the Vedic period of Hinduism. which generally dates between 1500 BCE and 800 BCE. Mitra is one of the sons of goddess Aditi, or one of the Adityas. In the early texts, Mitra plays the role of a protector of treaties. The Vedic period word mitra-m is Indo-Iranian and roughly translates to things such as ''oath, treaty, contract, or covenant,'' and later on, takes on the meaning of ''ally'' or ''friend.'' However, academics have also considered that Mitra is also a solar deity during the Vedic period.

Mitra is an ancient Hindu god of friendship. Mitra first appears in texts from the Vedic period, and he dates to the 14th century BCE.

I am Egyptian and I thank you ❤

The Iliad blew my mind when I read it for the first time, translated by Robert Fagles. How has your experience differed, if at all, with each translation that you read? Is it even noticeable?

Is Philosophy is Logic ?

thanks man in my college (INDIA) theres a subjet called as LLC-critical thinking and our sir teached us more than 100 hrs of critical thinking and told us to watch ur vids for revision

Interesting video, I'm trying to collect all the theories about Minoan religion that I can find... A theory that I am a bit partial to is that around 1450 BCE there was a conquest of Crete by the Mycenaeans, possibly capitalising on socian arrest at various sites - this leads to the collapse of many palatial sites except Knossos, which is used thereafter as a Mycenaean Anaktoron. So the throne might have been used by a greek wanax. Before that event it could actually be a seat for a cult statue, if it is earlier. Now the palaces... I believe there is almost no evidence that they were palaces in Minoan times. It is just as likely as not that there was no king. They were probably cultural and economic centres, they might have been collecting the resources from surrounding lands and funding artisans and religious activities, holding common meals - that persisted to classical times, and holding religious festivals there. Also if there was a royal residence, which I very much doubt, it could also be found in the upper floors which have mostly not survived. And about the Minotaur, it is very likely that the origin of the story was Mycenaean too rather than Minoan, hence the prominence of Minos, because there likely was a king after the Mycenaeans invaded.

Helpful! Thanks!

I go shopping with a list and generally buy the cheapest of a given type of item. Though layouts are changed periodically, I learn where to find what I need to get and go to those parts of the shop.

The first mistake here is to date Christianity to the time of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, before the end of the first century. The beliefs of the originated with the later interpretations of his life and teachings, and that was happening after the earliest date given for the Roman cult of Mithras. The beliefs were quite divergent for 200 years after Jesus’ death.

Great content! The way you break down critical thinking into understandable concepts makes it so easy to follow along. Thank you for making this course enjoyable! 🙌

And the biggest proof is just there: December 24th - the day Jesus is said to have been born and the birthday of Mithras. That's the longest night of the year, and it is celebrated by Persians for 3000 years. And of course, the parallel of Easter (which was added much later to Christianity) with Norooz -- first day of Spring celebrated by Persians for 3000 years.

You're lying. There are so many Mithraic houses of worship in present date Iran and they all go back to before Christ. Famous ones are in Maraghe and in Kangavar. Please don't spread lies.

Brilliant ❤

I want to pull my hair out listening to non Iranians teach our history. It’s very scant and inaccurate

Hi Allan thanks for this great course is it possible to access the slides as well? I found them very helpful and keen to review them more often to grasp the knowledge

Okay, I'm sorry jon and dany werent in the book, they're in the next book tho so look forward to that. But more importantly, thats not a good critisism. Like you cant just its bad because your favourite guys arent in it. What did you think of the characters and storylines that WERE in it. (I think they're brilliant) react to the book as it is not what it isn't

I detect that the above video may have been produced by someone who might be sympathetic towards a current leader from Jainism or maybe towards other leader from other religions too who are trying to discredit Christianity by spreading lies about how Christianity is encouraging violence in their members which is only a pack of lies. The means which people like that are using now to try and triangulate Christian communities against one another are getting more extreme all the time. Like for example at best only using circular based on the from historical cases only and cases which are being overgeneralized based on the superficial in the community which those wolves in sheeps clothing had been using at the time during history thus being used in only their deeply flawed in both reason and so logic too arguments; At worst when producing fake news about current Christian modern day leaders while misconstruing some of their statements and phrases too said taken out of context and then distorted to mean something altogether different sometimes while using software next in a smoke and mirrors effect which should be only used to help speech therapists offer biofeedback to their clients during their speech therapy exercises while instead it is being used to create deep fake videos. The kind of person who is not just exploring their spirituality at the time while healing from their wounds caused by a wolf in sheep's clothing who is behaving in a way which is revealing instead how determined they are to be discrediting Christianity in general is only revealing more as time goes on how they too are probable a wolf in sheep's clothing too.

What an absolutely atrocious take. Completely missing the point of the book.

L take

Thank you so much for sharing, I'm 59 years old and going back to school!

It would've been beautiful if I could get these notes.

Brightspace is great for people who have hours and hours to play around with all the bright shiny objects. But I don't. Bring back Blackboard. It got the jobs done without all the whistles and bells.

Super helpful. Please note: Course Tools is now called Course Admin at least on the CUNY version.
