The lesson of this series is "Don't automatically assume that the voice in your head is God."

[@christbenitez8797]

Exactly

[@andrrww307]

But it was ''God''. That Snake is the ''son of Sol''. Sol Invictus was the God of the Romans, that Black Cube represents the worship of Saturn, which by Christian interpretation, is Satan. The Snake is represented as Satan too by Christians. Therefore, this God not only is real, but it is the devil

[@dionemoolman]

@@andrrww307 But we don’t know whether it’s a god or a powerful being. Sol could very well be a powerful alien who lives within Kepler 22b who can communicate via thoughts. Much of the symbolism could very well be incorrect interpretations of this being. In conclusion, Sol may be a powerful being, but he isn’t god.

They're not actually atheists btws. Its like how the Romans considered the Huns to be Atheist because they had no shrines or temples.

[@lonewolfM16]

The Romans also described the Christians as Atheist, since a refusal to worship, and outright denial of the existence of, the gods was seen as a fundamental rejection of religion and the divine. The fact that the Christians had their own god wasn't seen as important in light of their rejection of the polytheistic gods. Though the Sol Invictans, who were a Monotheist cult that believed all divine beings were aspects of the one supreme sun god, identified their god with the Christian one and opposed their persecution.

I love how the writers are re-imagining Earth's most ancient history. The storyline of humans (mammals) being forced underground by extremely hot, dangerous weather, and the serpents (dinosaurs) taking over is the story of the early Triassic, which is also the era that evolved motherhood, both by protecting the leathery eggs (dinosaurs) and live birth underground (marsupial mammals).

*"Temporarily killed...but got better afterwards*

[@Hasutora]

The story actually appears to have a lot in common with the story of Cadmus. He comes to a new land and attempts to found a city. He builds a temple to the moon and then sacrifices a cow. However, when he sends his men to get water, they are all killed by a serpent belonging to Ares the god of war. In many descriptions, this giant serpent lives in a lush paradise. Cadmus slays the serpent then he plants the teeth of the serpent in the ground and a fearsome race of men rises up. They kill each other until only two remain. Thus the city of Thebes is founded but it eventually leads to ruin; think Oedipus and how his sons Eteocles and Polynices kill each other and this leads to the death of their sister Antigone. Thebes seemingly remained historically trapped in cycles of greatness and then ruin

The atheists use the word "Jesus" as an epithet (dubbed in off camera, so no script mishap), which suggests that Mithraism became a popular religion after Christianity took hold (also Boston exists and that would be unlikely in a world where Mithraism took hold in ancient world). Think Mithraism became popular because of the tech that came w/ it.

[@NeptuneCheeseCake]

Also, it’s important to note that the Mithraic in the show isn’t the same as Mithraism. Mithraism’s god was Mithras, not Sol. Sol, or Sol Invictus, was another popular Roman god at the time of the founding of Imperial Christianity.

[@christophercousins184]

@@NeptuneCheeseCake Yes! My fear is that the writers have just arbitrarily taken from Mithraism because of stuff like that. But then, they very carefully re-create imagery specific the the Roman cult popular with soldiers in pre-Christian Rome, so it looks like they're being very specific with their clues... and why would you dub in "Jesus" (said by Mary) if that wasn't an intended clue... If they punt on all of these teasers, I'm gonna be so pissed!

[@wilmagregg3131]

@@christophercousins184 my best guess going by the clues is mithraism originated as a new age relgion in this alternate timeline like how many people today are resurecting old relgions like norse but updating it to the modern day so mithraism is a mix of the original faith and other sun worshipping faiths of the past call it Neo Mithraism likely the original founder "found" the book of there new relgious tenents and texts using the technology within to spread the faith both by wonderous conversion and force.

Enough so, that they would destroy Earth and go to "Sol's" planet of origin. The question then would be, how did the entity get this "information through some kind of scripture" to Earth? Hmmm...

[@michaelhenry3234]

@@NeptuneCheeseCake Sol Invictus got wrapped up in Mithraism. Mithras is depicted as interacting with Sol in murals. But we don't have any surviving manuscripts to tell us what Mithraism was all about. So the implication seems to be that the manuscripts the Mithraics found put Sol as the top deity or something. Perhaps Mithras is analogous to Jesus and Sol to the Father.

[@nmercenary]

“Sol” is the sun behind the sun. Which is the symbol of the Mythraics. It’s heavily hypothesized that Sol is secretly lucifer. It makes sense considering the ending of season 1. This tale is basically a perversion/luciferic spin of adam and eve, the garden and the snake. Mother has a virgin birth. They end up in the tropics which is a visual metaphor of Eden. The snake ends up flying away. The snake in the garden. Sol is lucifer which would explain why Sol requires so much backstabbing and bloodshed just to have its baby snake born. The snake is born during an eclipse. This is classic satanic tale 101. A very entertaining story for sure but blatant satanism for those who know the symbolism (“those in the know”).

[@sisterseeth]

I took it as a reflection of how the winner of war, absorbs it's religious traditions to quell the masses and slips in it's own agenda to see the rise of a new world. Christianity is an amalgam mainly consisting of Mithraism, Greek, and Judaism. Mithraism was a pre-existing Roman religion which existed alongside Christianity in fact, soldiers from both religions often fought alongside each other. In the series, the Mithraics may as well represent Christianity because until much later during a series of council gatherings concluding in the famous Nicaea where methodical decisions were made to include new and exclude existing parts of the scripture to further blur the connections to traditions from religions it was built upon, the two were identical in most ways by design. A new authoritarian religion has to be very careful not to piss off the older, still powerful authoritarian religion and since Mithraism consisted of noble, rich and politically powerful Roman men and not least the Roman army, they wisely decided to stick with traditional practices such as Mithra's birthday on Dec 25, pontiffs as the elder priests, Sun association and Sunday as day of the Lord, having supper with his 12 followers, among others. After Christianity had clearly secured it's position over Mithraism, the Nicaea counsel sought to distance itself from it's predecessor by proclaiming that upon threat of death should no one worship false gods or idols, which is explained in several areas as a golden bull which is kind of backstabby seeing as how the Bull was sacred to the Mithras and they had a festival every year in May, the sign of the bull in Taurus, where the initiates would be tasked with killing a bull as and offering...and Christians didn't seem to have any problems with it at the time. Oh, how things change. When Mother gives her name in Episode 1, she says it’s Lamia, a child-eating monster from Greek mythology. It was important to incorporate their mythology because while Mithraism was made up of armies and powerful Romans, the church of Isis was comprised mostly of the commoners. From their traditions they took Isis and Horus which became Madonna and Child...born of immaculate conception since Osiris had been dismembered and tossed about the planet, Isis is called the "life-giver" and "resurrect" which, of course, they gave to Jesus so as not to piss off those in Mithraism who had no room for powerful women in their lexicon. The sacred serpent around Isis' crown representing her connection to Earth and Venus "the morning sun" turned into a nimbus or halo above Mary's head...a tradition which would gain traction after Mary, as all divine beings in Christian art acknowledged this as the saint's position of conduit between the heavens and Earth. And because Venus brings forth the morning sun appearing behind it, Isis brings the Son behind the son, and Mary the Son of God. Isis exclaims, "I, Isis, am all that has been, this or shall be. The fruit which I have brought forth is the Sun." In fact, most of the Isis dialog from the Greeks are direct quotes that Jesus says about his father. And of course, along with the Hebrew name Yeshua and Greek word Krystos meaning "anointed one" - you have Jesus. Jesus Christ was never a name, it's a title. If Jesus were ever real, being from a family of Judaic linage, he would have been called Yeshua bar Yehosef (Joshua son of Joseph). From the Judaic traditions they took monotheism. A smart move as the Jews were picky about that one. A Jewish prophet would not have deviated from the monotheistic one god philosophy which asserted that god (with a small g) was the force of both good, and evil, so Christians had to spin a pretty complicated yarn making Jesus the heir of god since that obviously would put them as a polytheistic religion. They did this by giving the one god a capitol G and splitting it off into God the Son, Father, and Holy Spirit. But still just one. Ok, whatever. The holy trinity concept was more acceptable at the time because the Romans had Jupiter, Mars, and Quirinus and after assimilating the Greeks it was Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. They stuck to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lineage as the Jews would see a cold day in hell (even though they didn't believe in Hell, proper) before they would relinquish the royal bloodline. You get the point. War is often not a sudden bloody battle. More often than not, it's a slow and steady takeover where many concessions are made to please all parties involved in the beginning, and as more power is gained after existing alongside the friend/enemy, those concessions begin to drop off. After all, the Mithra followers were ones who existed alongside followers of Zoroaster who had Magi that viewed Jupiter as representing the new king, and Saturn the old king and when the two planets crossed signifying a change of ruler and they crossed in Pisces which they associated with Israel, off they went to look for Jesus. But this wasn't the kings of Zoroaster because they were long dead having been defeated by the Mithras who carried on some of the astrological lore that was used to weasel their way into the trust of the existing Magi. And Isis, haven't we heard that name before? Right, from Egypt where the first known monotheistic following began when they decided to worship only Ra, the Sun god who's title was snobbishly taken many years later by a king who wanted to be god, Amun or Amun Ra which later became a very popular word, "Amen." Around that time, some old Egyptian priest dude you may have heard of named Moses of the monotheist Egyptians was pretty pissed off when the traditional polytheism Egyptians made a play for the royal position, which is understandable since it was basically denying his lineage and, along with the other Sun (Ra) monotheists out of Egypt to form a new state. Annnd that's where modern Jews got the 'Amen' that's said after prayer along with a switch from their polyamorous views to monotheistic one because of Moses' tantrum about losing his throne, and that's where Christian just took the whole thing and didn't even leave a tip on the table. Now that I have very little feeling left in my fingers, I'll wrap this up. I think Raised By Wolves was telling a story about how each new insurrection force thinks they're starting a new world, which is exactly what happens in the last episode. The same old story starts over again. The comet that destroys the dinosaurs is the ship containing Mother, Father, and the Son. Or, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost or Isis, Osiris and Horus. Out of Isis > Mary > Venus > The Morning Sun - comes the bringer of a new world borne from the old world where Mother, Father, and the Son barrel through the sky looking like a comet and crash into the very crater they created millions of years before with the dinosaurs...because in Mother's womb was both the bringer of life and destroyer of worlds stashed away by her Maker. Over and over and over. Going through the wormhole through time acting as the catalyst for the dinosaur's destruction which gives way for human life, and then going through the journey with the children until the Son behind the Son insider her demands to start again. It's just a thought, but I doubt it's Luciferian because the only people who worry about a Luciferian cult or agenda are the Christians who created him. If there are any underground elite cults worshipping sinister entities and planning to take over the world, and they may very well exist, you'll have to go back quite a bit further to say, Ba'al or Bael as the polytheistic Jews called him in the Lesser Key of Solomon ...or Moloch. I hear rumors of the 4 media giants controlling everything from Hollywood, print, prominent universities, etc could be the polytheistic Jews growing in power and planning to reestablish the old Israel worldwide as a One World Order and there's definitely some correlation with that, then the idea of Lucifer would probably piss them off seeing as how it's the invented dark overload of their subjugators. And you mentioned satan and Lucifer as though they're interchangeable. Satan was the old monotheistic Jews name for the dark side of their one god. Satan never existed in any way as a separate entity that tempted mankind or ruled in some hellish domain. Lucifer was taken from the Zoroaster's belief in a good and evil battle, so the two couldn't be more different.

[@j-lynn9180]

I agree. In Ep. 6, Lost Paradise, the Campion Sturdy impersonator (entity) offers Mother 'the forbidden fruit' by giving her knowledge outside of the programming given by her creator. Also, the Mythraics sun symbolism and 'Sol is the light' catchphrase parallels to Lucifer's meaning as ‘light-bringing, morning star,’ ‘son of the morning.’

Something interesting about number 3 - besides being modeled after a lamprey, the mouth on Mother's serpent looks a lot like the trap Paul created back at the settlement. I'm pretty sure while in the early stages of growth inside Mother at the settlement, either A) the serpent was influenced by the trap or B) the serpent influenced Paul to make it look like that. I'm thinking Paul influenced the serpent, since he has a penchant for design - like the city miniatures he was making on the trip to 22b and at the settlement playing with rocks.

28:34 “maybe it’s organized ideology that leads to evil” made me think of The Social Dilemma and how social media algorithms are clumping together groups of people with the same polarized ideologies

The cancellation of this show is EXTREMELY frustrating

Why? Are you a believer(of some/any-thing)?

[@sweetcheeks5775]

Just found out and I’m sooo annoyed. Was hoping it was based off a book series so I could at least read that and it’s not 😞.

One thing that bothered me is when the character Mary yelled, "Jesus Christ!" when she found Caleb was wounded. That is so out of sync with the story. We have the story of two people, Mithraist and Atheist, both of whom will not utter "Jesus Christ" for whatever reason. I think it's an oversight on director part.

I’m an atheist and I say Jesus Christ more than once a day. It’s a turn of phrase, and it wouldn’t be surprising if survived centuries from now. The issue is that Christianity never evolved in the show’s world to the point it has in ‘our’ world.

[@gorilladisco9108]

@@carys7417 Then the question is, at which point Christianity fade and Mithraism became ascendant? If Christianity was fading during Roman time, we are talking about a phrase that survived for 2000 years and was still used in intact form, while we can hardly understand 11th century English, if any. And how is it in English (I believe Romans had different phrase for "Jesus Christ")?

@@gorilladisco9108 I literally said in my reply that it wouldn’t have survived in the show because of the fact that Christianity never dominated; Mithraism did. The issue is in you implying in your original comment that she wouldn’t say it because she’s an atheist, which isn’t true.

[@gorilladisco9108]

@@carys7417 If Christianity never dominated, then how in the hell an atheist would learn to utter it in the first place? The reason many atheist will utter it today is because the dominance of Christianity when they grew up. The more likely phrase she would used should be, "Sol invictus!" instead of "Jesus Christ!".
