Exploring Mithras Temple - Walking Britain's Roman Roads

[@johndewey6358]

Mithraism is an Iranian religion (not Roman). Iranians practiced Mithraism prior to Zoroastrianism. Roman soldiers and officers who had come in contact with the Iranian civilization (in territories that were battlegrounds between Iran and Rome) adopted Mithraism.

Correct! Mithraism was spread by the legions who had served in the Eastern Roman Empire - it started as a military cult but spread like Christianity to the common people.

[@johndewey6358]

@@brettcurtis5710 Correct. Since the Roman leaders did not want the Roman subjects (specifically their military personnel) to adopt an Iranian religion they rushed to adopt Christianity and ensured many symbolic dates that are sacred in the Iranian Mithraism are covered up by the newly adopted Christianity by Rome. An example of the dates is Christmas 25th.

Once a structure associated with place gets relocated, I don't understand how it can be at all "moving". It's no longer tied to the energy of the location or the people who were there.. They should have decided on an alternate location for the building they were constructing in the fifties. That said, there were some shocking misrepresentations in this narration which bring down the tone of the video.
