Northern Neil Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Only one of them was nailed to anything. Osirus was chopped up. I don't know much about Dionysius or Bacchus but I would have remembered if they were crucified. On greater scrutiny, Osiris may be doubtful... but Dionysus and Bacchus were DEFINITELY nailed to bits of wood! In fact, the first 'crucifixes', dated to the 2nd century, were of Bacchus. Mind you, the guy looks like he's downed a flagon or three in his time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rameses the Great Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Osiris was created in the middle stages of Egyptian life they did not have crucifixion then. At that time, Rome was just a bunch of tribes with Greece somewhat looming I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's what I call a martyr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Octavius Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Problem is, what do we then call him? Dionysus, Bacchus, Osiris or Jesus? Jose Manuel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecimusCaesar Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 The most importnat question is, can he turn wine into water or water into beer? If he can, then the party's on! :drunk: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Octavius Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I am unanimously against turning wine into water! Water into beer is cool! I'd like to see the charlatan walk on water - starting in mid-Atlantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Water into beer is cool! Oh that's easy... just add barley, yeast and hops... hey I must be a god! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rameses the Great Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) So, :mummy: , why didn't the 'sand people' conquer Rome? Conquer Rome GO? Greece did not even exist then. :frusty: Egypt was known to accuraltely depict lands beyond its border they just did not want to conquer much land because that was not their kind of society. I think they farthest they got was conquering Nubia and Southern Assyria. Anyways, I bet this guy is still laughing all the way to the bank.

Northern Neil Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I've turned water into beer several times! All you need is a bit of yeast, some hops to sprinkle in - add a bit of malt, and hey presto! Now, go and build me a church, you lot! I can also turn wine, beer and spirits into water!!!

Gaius Octavius Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Now, go and build me a church, you lot! I can also turn wine, beer and spirits into water!!! Yeah, sure, and then you'll pass it on Scotland. You'll get your church as long as I get half the loot from the turkeys. Can you cure the SFB syndrome?

Antiochus of Seleucia Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Sometimes, in my head, I think I'm god... but I don't say anything. Gaius, two lictors for you; I'm one of them- and I like my 'incentives.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
