In 1945, texts hidden for 1,500 years were unearthed in Egypt describing the God of the Old Testament as a false deity and reality as a controlled system. Scholars dismissed them as fringe mythology. The Mesopotamian Thread takes the question seriously.
This investigation traces seven documented patterns from ancient Mesopotamia through modern Zionism: systematic suppression of direct experience, absorption of opposition, blood sacrifice, dualistic cosmology, perpetual conflict, and provable textual manipulation.
For anyone willing to ask whether spiritual traditions serve liberation, or control.
