Morgan: Inanna/Ishtar also descended and got reanimated 3 days later, though she went underground voluntarily to her sister; Ereshkigal, who killed her.

I wonder if maybe it would have been better if Ereshkigal hadn't let Inanna/Ishtar go.

Across ancient civilizations, long before the New Testament was written, strikingly similar stories were already being told—divine births, miracle-working saviors, death and resurrection narratives, and gods who offered salvation to humanity. From Egypt to Greece to Rome, these themes appear again and again.

In this video, we explore the controversial idea that the story of Jesus may have been influenced by earlier pagan traditions. Is this coincidence, shared symbolism, or something more deliberate? By comparing ancient myths with the Gospel accounts, we uncover patterns that challenge traditional narratives and raise powerful questions about the origins of one of the world’s most influential religions.

This isn’t about attacking belief—it’s about examining history, evidence, and the stories humanity has told for thousands of years.
