		The mysteries of Eleusis were devoted to two goddesses, Demeter the grain goddess, and her daughter Persephone, aka Perephatta, aka "the Maiden," Kore.
		An ancient Indo-Iranian deity, attested from the Bronze Age onward, his name means "the middle one" in the sense of "treaty" or "promise of allegience." The specific mysteries of Mithras are not found until about 100 CE, and its relation to the Iranian religion is not yet solved.
		That participation in mysteries was a special form of experience, a pathos in the soul, or psyche, of the candidate, is clearly stated in several ancient texts; given the underdeveloped state of introspection in the ancient world, as seen from a modern vantage point, this is remarkable.

		It is taught that every single person thus aroused to altruistic service and thoughts of the divine, finds themselves drawn to a still existing form of the ancient mysteries, suitable to their religious or philosophical temperament, and thus to the feet of the Master whose blessing they seek.

		There are many ancient mystery schools with different teachings that date back to the beginning of the creation when the 'creator Gods' created the first root race.
		The teachings of the mystery schools come from the dawn of time claiming to have preserved secretly by the 'ageless wisdom' throughout the centuries.
		This knowledge, known as the 'secret science', is available today to the accepted initates of the existing mystery schools around the world to pass on to a future age when the mass of humanity would be evolved enough to inherit it.

		The mysterious stone wall snakes quietly through the Tennessee woodland, but no one knows how it came to be built.
		The ranger at Old Stone Fort park explained the theory used to be that a Welsh explorer built it some time before Columbus, but it was now thought to be the creation of the mound builders, who for hundreds of years inhabited wide areas north and south of Tennessee.
		It does not seem to matter that the fort itself is unlike anything else built by the mound builders, or that not a single artifact has been found that ties it to anything, Welsh or otherwise.

	Cosmic Mysteries of Mithras \| Mithraism \| Ancient Religion
		Our earliest evidence for the Mithraic mysteries places their appearance in the middle of the first century B.C.: the historian Plutarch says that in 67 B.C. a large band of pirates based in Cilicia (a province on the southeastern coast of Asia Minor) were practicing "secret rites" of Mithras.
		Because the ancients believed in the real existence of the great sphere of the stars, its various parts-- such as its axis and poles-- played a central role in the cosmology of the time.
		Now as we saw earlier, the ancient author Porphyry records the tradition that the Mithraic cave was intended to be "an image of the cosmos." Of course, the hollow cave would have to be an image of the cosmos as seen from the inside, looking out at the enclosing, cave-like sphere of the stars.

	Ancient Mystery Religions - Jim Fournier
		Thus the Eleusinian Mysteries, by taking groups of individual initiates through a powerful experience of inner death and rebirth, brought about the death of their collective identity as citizens of their city-state, and forged in its place the identity of individual human souls.
		The ancients already saw this order confirmed in the observation that the year was very close to 360 days, so that a day could be treated as a degree without much error.
		At that point it occurred to me that perhaps the ancients were somehow syncronistically looking at the right place in the sky without knowing consciously what they were seeing (or not seeing) there, as the conjunction in 575 BC involved the three invisible outer planets.

		While the theme of spiritual death and rebirth is explicitly apparent throughout the mysteries, I believe that this theme also implies a larger process pervading this period of history: the emergence of the individual human identity.
		The mysteries may actually have caused this phenomenon, as the individual soul was forged in the experience of spiritual death and rebirth.
		I suspect that the most plausible explanation for that element of the mystery may be that those conducting the mysteries ignited phosphorus inside the temple at the critical moment.

		Secret mystery cults flourished within the larger culture of the public religion of Greece and Rome for roughly a thousand years.
		In defining the mysteries and describing their rituals, membership, organization, and dissemination, Walter Burkert displays the remarkable erudition we have come to expect of him; he also shows sensitivity and sympathy in interpreting the experiences and motivations of the devotees.
		As Burkert states, most of the mysteries were expensive clubs and the experience was purely individual.

	Great Pyramid - Ancient Mystery Unraveled
		The name "Giza" is probably drawn from the fact that anciently the borders of Egypt were considered to extend as far as the watered, green areas all along the Nile.
		If the ancient Egyptians designed the cubit based on the earth's semi-polar axis, and the French scientists — cream of the crop of the Age of Enlightenment, the flower of modernity — did so based on a Parisienne meridian, one has to wonder if evolution is running in reverse.
		When Napoleon directed his scientists to study in earnest the mysteries of a monument beyond the reach of their Enlightened rationalism, he could not know that the ticking chronograph of the Grand Gallery was soon to reach the Great Step, indicating in the Pyramid's inch-for-a-year symbolism the year 1844.

	THE GREAT PYRAMID (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		We say that ancient man lived in caves, farmed, and occasionally built large pyramids, shrug our shoulders and then talk, as if on automatic pilot, about the onward development of the human race.
		These disasters destroyed the high technologies of their day, and it was only in the 18th and 19th centuries with the advent of the modern industrial revolution, that we have regained the use and mastery of many ancient technologies.
		Thus the Great Pyramid, besides being an evidence of the early intelligence of ancient man, and an evidence of the advanced technological skills of ancient man, is also a testament to the natural disasters which, during historic times, humbled man's technical progress to a "Stone Age" level, requiring a redevelopment in later eras.

	Walter Burkert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The start of a new era began in 1981 when his work of ancient Greek religious anthropology, Homo Necans, was published in an Italian translation.
		Three of his most important academic works (a selection from seventeen books and two hundred essays, including encyclopedia contributions and memorabilia), which are still at the base of the study of Hellenic religion, are Homo Necans, Greek Religion (1977, English 1985), and Ancient Mystery Cults (1982 lectures, published 1987).

		These initiates into the Mystery religions had always worshiped their sun-god in his previous incarnations prior to Jesus as Mithra, Osiris, Dionysus, Tammuz, and Adonis to name just a few who were born of a virgin in a stable or cave, lived lives as the redeemer of mankind, and were crucified and risen saviors.
		The mystery religions adopted many expressions from these domains: they spoke of the assembly (ekklesia) of the mystai; the voyage of life; the ship, the anchor, and the port of religion; and the wreath of the initiate; life was a stage and man the actor.
		This inability of carnal man to comprehend the Mysteries of God is true with respect to what is reveled within the body of the text of the Greek philosophical mystery religions, as well as the very scriptures that modern Christians base their doctrines of belief upon.
