Mithras is actually the constellation of Orion, who is kiIIing the precessional constellation of Taurus. This would have happened in 1750BC, according to the precession of the equinox - when Taurus ceded to Aries in precession. It is the same story as Gilgamesh (Gilgamesh is also Orion). And we do have an ancient narrative. Arthurian Legend (13th century) says that Pompey the Great brought the cult of Mithras back from Anatolia, during the Pontic war. And the name for the cult was derived from the Pontic king Mithradates VI - and nothing to do with the Persian Mithra. According to Arthurian Legend the ‘Mount Olympus’ mentioned is actually Gibraltar - a Pillar of Hercules. There was a large cave in the Pillar (a Mithraeum), and Pompey defeated the Pontus Pirates there. See book: The Grail Cypher Ralph.
Thousands of years we iranians have celebrated this night as the birthday of MITHRA at the end of the longest night, even now we are following our ancestors and celebrate it as one of our most important nights in our calendar! Mithraismus is and will be always iranian! You eurocentric deniers will fail in your attemp to helenies Mithras!
Not all who follow Mithras deny his connection with Ahura Mazda. He is not just a god for the Persians, but he is there for anyone who wants to follow him. Plus the oldest version of his worship comes from the Hittite empire in 1400BCE where he is mentioned in one of the worlds oldest written peace treaties that was written between the Hittite and the Hurrian kingdom of the Mitanni in the area southeast of Lake Van in Asia Minor, the name of Mithras is invoked as witness and keeper of the pact.
Mithraism is not persian. As you said mithraism predates iranians. Hurrian and Mittani actually was the name of armenian kingdoms. The cult to Mihran was destroyed in Armenia by the christianism in the fourth century. But still exist yet and Mihran is very commom name among them, as Anahit for women, and they call something like the ancient sun Ara-vadz to the christian God. The sun shine over you brother, we are all theyr kids and the aryan blood unites us from west to east. Thanks for the video. Mazdeism was created later by Zoroaster but it mantains some mithraic symbolism and names.
Mithraism influenced Egypt as well. Check Osiris and Nefertiti from Mittani as some data for departure. For sure you know already, but all that civilizations was interconnected.
I agree, Mithraism is Persianisque.... The Romans ever referred to their belief as "the Persian religion", dressed as Persians. However, it's likely that proto-European groups, which according to modern consensus (Max Plank Institute, David Reich, and Wang et al) originated in the nexus between Armenia, Iran, and E. Turkey, probably had some type of Mithra worship. Some it's either proto-Persian (assuming Persians didn't exist at the time of PIE).
I love how this cuts out. So, anyone have a source for the "dagger he uses belongs to Saturn"?
Have u found the source my fellow mithraic frien
