    Too bad Nature didn't create the mountaintop as an even plateau for the Greeks to later have erected an enthroned colossus of Zeus seated in the altar precinct. THAT would have been MUCH MORE MAGNIficent than the one at Olympia, which was only seated in a temple.
    And it would have made VIVID the verse of the "Apocalypse of John" 2:13: "I know where you live, where SATAN (Zeus SOTER/"SAVIOR"!!) has his THRONE."

    So, the devil didn't actually live there. Just a metaphor, right?

      Correct. Satan in the Greek language simply means adversary. The word could refer the person of Satan or simply those who oppose Christ. Pergamum was the center of Emperor worship in the East while Rome was the center for the West. The reference of Satan’s throne could possibly be referring to the Pergamum Alter. Look it up, it actually does look like a throne when looking at it as a whole. This would have been situated in view of all the ships coming to port.

      @@J.F.331 "Satan in the Greek language simply means 'adversary'."
      That is interesting, and I didn't know that. As a consequence I went to websearch this. But, immediately I found a reference to Wikipedia's article of "Satan" which says that it is the HEBREW word for "adversary" or "accuser" and it is derived from the verb for "to obstruct" or "to oppose".

    These video's are wonderful for the first few minutes, before it of course has to be about the curious cult of christ instead of all the millennia of other interesting history.

    Pergamom The seat of the Devil's throne. I hope you understand that the temple is Heretical. I hope you understand that thousand of infants and children were laid sacrifice to that alter to the Devil Baal, yes that means their blood was spilt sacrificed to the Devil. It doesn't matter if the site is ancient, the soil still speaks of death and evil like grooves in a record.

      People should listen to SRA survivor testimonios to know how "fun" and "cool these rituals are in real Life.
      Perhaps they would stop gloryfying this $h-.t.
