Video Description (from Youtube)
The Cult of Mithras is a little understood religion, and one that has many incorrect attributes raised against it, especially with regards similarities to Christianity. Here we go into the symbology and iconography, to decrypt the story of Mithras, so as to understand Mithraism and its links with Persia, Sol and Sol Invictus, and Saturn, and to understand why tauroctony is such a central symbol (the slaying of a bull).
