Genetic study The arrival of the Near Eastern ancestry in Central Italy predates the onset of the Roman Empire

[—BoNe—]

Most likely you meant the 4th century AD. The seal is from the early Sasanian period and the date of production is about the 4th century, according to the British Museum, possibly made in Mesopotamia, so yes, we are clearly in the Roman Imperial period.

The Sasanian Empire succeeded the Parthian Empire, there are some examples of Sasanian seals with references to Greek mythology, especially in the area inhabited by Assyrians. So nothing strange if a myth prevalent in Rome could have come so far, given that we are just a step away from the southeastern borders of the Roman Empire.

Yes, I meant the year 4 AD, thanks for the correction—I hadn’t realized I mistranslated it. I meant after Christ, not before.

The she-wolf of Rome symbolizes a priestess-prostitute who raised a pair of bastards as if they were princes, and they became kings.

In this case, as you say, everything points to it being an adaptation of Roman mythology tailored to their own aesthetic.

Chimeras like the goat he showed us are typical of the Mesopotamian, Iranian, and Indian regions, and they’re something else entirely: they represent the fusion of various primal instincts. These abstractions are older than breathing or pissing standing up, and they weren’t invented by them—they came from the Northwest, from the Göbekli Tepe area, and later with the Indo-Aryan invasions

The six-pointed star, the eagle, and the swastika are European, with their earliest known representations found in the Vinča culture (5000 BC).

The stories of wild animals raising deified children also come from European mythologies, like Zeus in Crete being nursed by a wild goat or deer, or Habis in Hispania being raised by wolves.

These myths actually refer to children born with extraordinary abilities—children who, as if by nature, needed no human teaching to become the most human of all. (A violated Vestal priestess loses her honor, but not her functionality.)

The most practical translation of the myth of Rome’s founding is:

An Etruscan (or any other) popular uno attacks and sodomizes a Latin population; the leader of the raid claims the local Vestal priestess as a prize. Out of a sense of justice, she raises her bastard sons as military leaders to seek revenge—and a thousand years later, half the planet speaks Latin.


And so, we get Shi’ites claiming to be the original Indo-Europeans while praying to an imported Semitic god…

The joke writes itself.
