    Creator of video: Do you think that there is a Mesopotamian influence governing the designs of human heads with animal bodies? I have only seen it with sphinxes in Egypt and, of course, with Ammit, the Soul Eater, which is often part hyena and crocodile, sometimes hippo hips. Now the lammasu of the Sumero-Akkadian era is often a bearded man’s head on the body of a bull. Apkallu seem to have more of an Egyptian motif as they just have bird heads So... sphinxy like Egypt or lammasu like Sumer? (I’m looking for a link to Mithras of Asia Minor)

    The great video serapis went on for about 300 years and nobody like the disciples and nobody brought it up in the Bible and there's something great video again

    You left out the Christus part after Serapis. You also left out his followers were called Christians.

    Those coins blew my mind. this is what I saw with only using my eyes and memories. the first one Is Caracalla a 100% mabye he used the name of The real Antoninus Pius to... I have no Idea. And the Second one doesn't look even a little like Nero.

    My mother (Egyptian) was born and raised in a very old neighbourhood called Karmoz, and her family's house was just facing the Serapeum of Alexandria, where Serapis had been worshipped for more than 600 years. I was lucky to see the destroyed ruins of the Serapeum (as well as Pompey's pillar) whenever we visited the old house. FYI, the Serapeum was destroyed by angry Christians by the end of the 4th century.

    Good video! Have you dove any research on Arias, the Libyan Priest who opposed the existence of Serapis?
